View Full Version : McMahon - glad or grumpy he's gone?
Hopefully this is the last thread re: the tigers game. Onto WC.
Has there been a thread re: McMahon on Sunday?
I don't think there is any doubt we did well getting a second round pick for him - if Callan Ward ends up a star - we'll certainly have won the trade.
But, what about his performance on Sunday? Good? Bad? Soft? Smart?
For me he seemed a bit impotent - he used to kick much longer when he played with the dogs. Would also run much further out out of defence. Are they wasting him a bit?
only had 1 tackle and not many contest possies, not what we need.

glad he's gone.

Overall Id say its a positive considering we need stronger, tougher bodies in the team, plus we got Callan Ward for him who looks very promising indeed.

In the scheme of things I think it has been good for both clubs.
Jordan was very good last weekend, he copped a hell of a hit in the first quarter.
Exactly the type of player Richmond need if they are going to play as they did last Sunday.
He had become a little stale at the Bulldogs and as the point has already been made we got Callan Ward for him.

He did the same sheepdog act he did for us. Never seen a hard ball in his life. Glad Sam Power and McMahon are gone. Wish them well in future endeavours , just not in the Red White and Blue.

Don't recall him running and bouncing on sunday (which seems to be his forte). I may be wrong but given richmond had a large amount of 'running bounces' it would be strange if he wasn't a designated run and carry player. He seemed to get stuck at half back a lot and kick from there rather than run to the centre and deliver into the forward 50. He was most effective when he done this for the dogs.
Glad he's gone though as most of my mates who barrack for other sides consider him the be a cat. I can stop defending him.

Obviously he had a brain fade during the 1st quarter and forgot where he was. I've never seen him get in the way of a leading player before and ended up buried in the pocket of Telstra Dome.
Murphy obviously doesn't miss him much either, after that effort in the last quarter, of trying to rip his porn star mo off with no razor and no anesthetic.:p Worth the 50
Put it this way. If McMahon had of played for us on Sunday I don't think we would have come back in the last 5 minutes.

Overall I am glad he is gone however we do miss his run from the backline at the moment.
Once Ray and Everitt come back that will no longer be missed

Let's hope it works out well for Jordan at the Tiges. They seem to be pretty pleased with his overall contribution this year.
But then again, they declared Pat Bowden recruit of the year.

22 Apr 2008, 14:11
Was glad he copped a whack early in the game, Dyl hit him hard, and he wore it and felt it.
That was for bagging out the club who gave him a start, and invested heavily in him, and got him to his choice of clubs when parting ways, didn't want him to cop a bad injury, but what he copped was good.
Wish him the best now, all clubs need fast running outside midfielders, we just had too many.

Josh Hill fly's in front of packs and players, he deserves a bit of leeway taking the option of self preservation occasionally.
No need taking not ducking or looking after yourself to far, remember 5-6 years ago when Matthew Robbins did contesting against Glenn Jackovich and ended up on our injured list for about 7 weeks.

His disposal is shocking. Lots of up and unders, wayward passes. I appreciate him as a player but we can't afford to have 2 of them (Addison too) in the backline for much longer.

See now that's where I think you guys can get a bad case of sour grapes. I thought he was actually quite courageous last Sunday. Didn't you see him go back into that pack and get crunched? There were other instances as well where it was his time to go and he did that.
Now I will agree that his kicking was a little off, but don't let sour grapes cloud the actual picture.

I was referring to Timmy DTT. McMahon was one of our best uses of the ball in late 06. Has great run but quite simple was the worst of a group of our players who essentially had exactly the same role as he did in our club.
We needed to get harder and moving McMahon and getting Timmy has helped immensly in that regard.

He acknowlegdes that you don't have enough good young players and then trades away pick 19 in the draft.

Yeh I don't mind Jordan as a player, but I still believe we gave up too much for him. People who were at our pre-draft night said we would have gone for Selwood had we still had #19, so I guess that's a little disappointing, but at least he is still 'relatively' young, and is a chance to come through with all of our younger players.

I don't think it is much of a loss, I hope he does well for Richmond, just not against the Bulldogs!
Probably the biggest loss was who else we could have drafted with the pick that selected McMahon. You might remember that his draft pick was the one that Plough did wearing a microphone on Foxsports. I vaguely remembering them debating the selection (without mentioning names) and settled on "the more skilful player". I wonder who they were tossing up between? I don't have my AFL book on hand - can anyone tell me who was drafted after McMahon?
I must say that I was disappointed that some Bulldogs fans booed him. It's not like he left the Dogs to chase money, he was traded, and it is hardly his fault. People should go easy on him and be grateful of the good performances he put in for us.

Agree it was only his parting shots I have issue with.

Agree completely. I was saying the same on Sunday. The booing is pointless and the player couldn't give a @#$. We booed Brown too - he's been gone for years so let's move on. FWIW Jordy was excellent in 2006 but really dropped off last year in kicking skills. We don't need him now but got no beef with him being at Richmond.
I . It's not like he left the Dogs to chase money, he was traded, and it is hardly his fault. .
Yeah i forgot he left us for less money and because he thought so highly of us :eek::eek:
no great loss. still in a little boys body and will be forever.
I will however miss his three tackles a year and the odd time he went near a pack
i wish him no harm but surely booing an ex player is no big deal, or did we upset him and nath. poor things.
at least they get to play in front of big crowds and in finals :eek:

For the love of god please give the ''sour grapes '' line the flick. Mcmahon carried on like a petulent schoolgirl when he wanted to leave hence the distaste. He'll do well getting his truckload of uncontested ball and has good kicking skills. Yeah and your dead right you gave way to much up:thumbsu:
I enjoyed having McMahon in the side, but we have enough McMahon type players so he's not a huge loss, I'm sure he'll fit in well at Richmond.
Agree with the previous posters saying they don't boo players. It's not like McMahon left in an offensive manner, just let him play.

I don't have my AFL book on hand - can anyone tell me who was drafted after McMahon?
I've got my book now, McMahon was drafted at number 10. Check out these other players we could have had!
12. Shaun Burgoyne 18. Daniel Kerr(!) 20. Kane Cornes 29. Jamie Charman 43. Mark Williams 52. Amon Buchanan 67. Graham Johncock.
Then there were Tadhg Kennelly and Dean Cox in the Rookie Draft.
We took McMahon instead of Kerr! FYI the Eagles took McDougall at 5 that year so we're not the only one who passed on Kerr first time around.
Between 1997 and 2002 our 1st picks were Alvey (18), Luke Penny (14), Murphy (13), McMahon (10), Sam Power (10), Tim Walsh (4) - who was our recruiting manager then? Clayton?

I agree with you but lets just wait until Ward gets a game so we can see if he has what it takes to play 200 games.
I am very happy with this swap though :thumbsu:
There is no doubt that he was and still is a talented footballer, but he could frustrate you like no other player can. My hair and blood pressure is glad he is gone, but my head still says that if he ever toughens up he could be a star.
I'm still grumpy he has gone
1st round draft pick, 24 years old, 100+ games.
Sh@t there is a lot of excess fat around this club like McDougall & Street that could have been jettisoned or not even approached before Jordy.
Watched the game on TV. Jordy did today what he did all last year. He set up goals for Geelong. In 2006 he was a gun but last year was a waste. I'm over him, we don't miss him and we seriously were not going to get anything for Streeter or Doogs. Hopefully all the BF hype on Ward is true and then it will be a great deal.
BTW what's with Jordan's porn moustache? It's a shocker!

I watched most of Jordy's games this year. He has been okay for them(Not fantastic and not terrible) but I don't think we will miss him too much. I think the different make ups of both teams, Richmond need him more than we do. We have similiar types and size players to Jordy and he is easily replacable.
I also think we did well out of the swap between Jordy and the draft pick we used for Callan Ward. It was a good draft for us :thumbsu:

18 May 2008, 10:41
I think that a player like Jordy had to be sacrificed. He was awful at the contested football and, regardless of his job description as a free-running architect, he was a one-dimensional player who was a liability if his one trick was smothered. I admire the Bulldogs for making a statement at the end of last season - offloading players like McMahon and Power, and bringing in physical types like Callan and Hudson. How good is it to see the Dogs giving a genuine contest again, doing team oriented things such as blocking and shepherding, winning at stoppages, not being intimidated by the physical presence of some other teams? Our club made the right call. Jordy would not fit comfortably into the Doggies team version 2008.

Too soft and in todays age you can't be that weak..
But i agree with what acker said about street and mcdougall being let go before McMahon.
What? 'Let go'? Doesn't work that way, it's not like we kicked Jordy to the curb because we didn't like the cut of his jib.
McDougall
a) Had a 2 year contract, so we would have to pay for his contract while at another club (I'll tell you know that no other club would touch him).
b) Jordy is a soft/smallish defender something we needed to get rid of and Doogs is a tall 'big' 'utility'...in theory.
c) No club is going to take McDougall let along give us pick 19(Callan Ward) for him so what would sacking him have achieved? Besides having to pay out a player's contract for nothing in return.
Street.
a) Once again contracted.
b) Is a ruckman who is killing it at VFL level. He would be getting a game for a lot of other clubs at the minute.
c) He's our back up ruckman, What happens if Hudson or Minson go down? Skipper rucks? Street's playing a lot better then Skip is at the moment and Skip is only a part time ruck anyway.
d) Not many clubs are going to take Street let along give us pick 19(Callan Ward) for him so what would sacking him have achieved? Besides having to pay out a player's contract for nothing in return.

Yep thats true but I fail to see your point.
Over our years of drafting similar type players we were always going to have to trade out some players.
He has been replaced by a tough small defender who is not as skilled but provides us with something that we lacked.
The time was right for him to move on and we were adequately compensated for moving him on. It's never good to lose a player you liked but I highly doubt he would be in our best 22 this year.

I doubt it too. The reason we are having the season we are having is that our contested possessions have gone through the roof. In fact, did I hear that we have gone from 16th in the last couple of years to first this year? That is a staggering statistic.
I didn't mind Jordy but he was a fringe player and we needed different type of players for our structure(eg ruckman, key forward).
I think Richmond can make more use of him than we can, and hopefully he can have a great career with them, and Ward can have a great 10 year career with us. :)
I was also happy to read that Jordy's personal situation has improved this year too. You never like to read of any footballer having problems or homesick.
I doubt it too. The reason we are having the season we are having is that our contested possessions have gone through the roof. In fact, did I hear that we have gone from 16th in the last couple of years to first this year? That is a staggering statistic.
One stat I've heard is that we've won the contested posessions 5 times so far compared to 06 when we won it 5 times for the whole season and 07 where we won it 6 times for the season.
GLAD! has anyone got the 2006 Season highlights. McMahon is actually very prominent but thats because he gets all the outside kicks. He also bounces every three steps which pissed me no-end. McMahon probably watches the video and thinks he is the greatest player ever. However not once did I see him get his only ball.
Actually, come to think of it......
He has NEVER got his own ball
Enjoy Richmond. Callan Ward is already better than McMahon
Callan Ward is already better than McMahon
Ease up.
Had to laugh when listening to the Richmond v Geelong game and the MMM commentators made a comment about how McMahon coughed up the ball nearly every time he got his hands on it.
Brought back some memories.
He's got the Tigers fans excited but, like us, he's gonna break their hearts more often than he wins them games.:eek:

20 May 2008, 23:23
Whats his best position?
Most people think it is half back, but I didn't mind him on a wing rotating in the midfield.
He gives a lot of run of half back but the downside is that opposition coaches get his opponent(usually a good contested mark for their size)to take him deep into defence, isolate him and then get the midfielders to kick to his opponent in a contested situation. Jordy has no marking prowess and doesn't know how to use his body in a contested marking situation and will get outmarked every time.
I still have nightmares of Matthew Lappin doing exactly that.
Jordy has a lot of pace, a lot of run and can be a thumping kick, but he does have a few downsides to his game that he needs to work on.
The Boy From Brasil
21 May 2008, 11:49
At least this thread had some class and rational discussion in it, unlike another McMahon thread in another club board that got referred to in the second back page of todays Herald Sun. No matter how bad Jordy's disposal is, he doesn't deserve the abuse and vitriol he gets from feral posters in that thread.
It is funny how the stereotype of Bulldogs supporters is uneducated and losers, yet we have one of the most if not the most intelligent forum amongst all the clubs :thumbsu:
Some of the other club boards, one in particular, is an absolute disgrace IMO.
Anyway, just my two cents. It is more of a pat on the back to the posters and moderators on this board for making it such a user friendly place to post in. :)

Very Very Happy To See Another Ex-bulldogs Player Running Around Getting Nowhere!!! Fantastic Sight To See!

lots of turnovers by McMahon, he can get it and carry but from what I've seen so far his kicking accuracy is pretty poor. Happy with Timmy Callan or Addison in his spot. Same goes for power. Great list management by the club.

Neither here nor there...7.5 wins and no losses shows we haven't lost anything.

It will be interesting to hear what McMahon and Brown have to say about playing for the doggies and tigers when they retire. I think Brown is on a performance based contract now, that would hurt after changing clubs to earn more money. Browns bad luck with a broken leg cost Richmond a lot of money paying for a high profile player who had nil impact for them. If McMahon doesnt perform what Terry Wallace wants I dont see him lasting for very long. McMahons success or failure will impact on Wallaces future at Richmond.

Brown didn't leave for the money.
He wanted to play finals, remember?

I thought it was cause they have more passionate supporters.

It is actually encouraging to see we can move on our players that are not up to it and gain some decent picks.
We have been on the receiving end of some shockers, i.e. Rawlings, Doogs!
