Jordan McMahon as a defender is just not working at Richmond with our current line-up. At the dogs he had much better players around him that took more of the defensive load. He does not enjoy that same support at the RFC.

If Casserly wasn't injured all the time we may have been able to release McMahon on the wing, but until then he is what he is.

nah! the best thing we did as doggies supporter was trading macmahon ! :mad:

Soft ____ if you ask me ! :thumbsdown:

Wian
 
Couldnt agree more mate, weak as piss and a waste of a draft pick if you ask me!:thumbsdown:

Shouldn't burn one of your own,has talent and can be attacking just need's support around him,when the team play's better so will he.

Only on here to see to-day's reponse.

That is his main problem, downhill skier. As soon as the pressure goes on his skills go out the door. Can look like a million bucks when everything is going right but footy is not always like that and you need players who can withstand and perform under pressure
 
McMahon really shouldn't be played in defense, he's always struggled, and if you have a couple of other loose defenders it makes it worse. McMahon cost us a fair bit this way, mainly in '07 when even Lappin booted 5 on him. He's not a defender - I don't understand why Eade & now Wallace play him there. He SHOULD play off a wing, because he's a good runner & is good at being a link-up man. His foot skills used to be better but they're still good and he's quick. He played some of his better games for us on the wing, and at times in the middle.

His game in '05 against Adelaide was one from memory, where he was pretty effective off a wing and even did OK in the middle. I thought Wallace would have realised this when trading for him, it's a bit odd to me. He lacks accountability & strength, it's deadly playing him down back.

I haven't watched too many Tigers games, but what's your thoughts on the above and has he played through the midfield at all?

Are you happy with trading Pick 19?

Will be interesting to note the progress of this trade over the next 3 years.
 
He's been very good all year, but today he kicked a couple of shockers to the opposition

Didnt manage to see the Geelong game MT06? Didnt manage to see the Kangaroos game?

HE IS SHIT!!

Mark my words, we have a new Tivendale - this bloke will break our hearts continually through disappointment.

Was reading this thread thinking... why are we playing him down back? Why not on a wing?
He could torch the wide open spaces of the bigger grounds (MCG) from the middle.
Is not very accountable nor strong and his natural instinct is to attack and create.
Worth pick 19? ATM probably not but as you say, lets see after a couple of years.

How old is he? 24/25? In a couple of years, if anything, he will just get slower. All 24/25 year olds should have proven themselves by this age

I'm not sure guys lose pace between 25 & 27 years old but you are right, most general development will have occurred by then.
If as most seem to be saying McMahon is your typical Franz Klammer or Herman Maier, then I am willing to see if we are playing finals in 2010 and if so, if he is burning up the MCG wings before I make my call on this trade.

Meh? What's age got to do with it? I'm just as slow now at 38 then I was at 24.
