AFL Player 48: Liam McMahon - Re-signed for another year! - 10/9

[windyhill]

Doesn't just guide the ball through, he kicks the shit through it !! Great debut.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

With Jones and Edwards re-signed going to be difficult to fit both he and May on the list. May would be the priority out of the two I’d imagine

may be recency bias but id much prefer may and McMahon on our list than jones and edwards, didn't like there new contracts when they were extended earlier in the year, hindsight is 20/20 i guess. but i agree we cant go into next year with all four of them

That was so dumb.

Wouls still keep McMahon & May over them.

This is totally correct and yet I can understand why the club did it. Its not a good look if you've got players, who are playing in your best 22 get a long term injury and you don't give them another contract. I think sometimes you have to be a club that supports its players through the tough times (but maybe we took it too far).
Plus who would have guessed that we would have found players that look as promising as May and McMahon out of the mid season draft.

For what its worth May is my preferred long term option out of all 4 - in terms of what I think he can bring to the team. He's not only the youngest but his build and strengths are something quite different to the rest of our list.

I am not yet sure that McMahon can get separation at AFL level. Maybe but we didn’t see it Thursday.

I reckon Tom Edwards likely has more tricks but I could be wrong.

Big fan of what May potentially adds to our list. He’s the right type but I’d be more comfortable if I saw some contested marks

Jones is in a different category - I think they see him as an elite athlete and competitor who can be a utility tall. I’m sure in future they won’t hesitate to use him back at times and I personally think he would be most effective as a Ridley type.

Let go of two of wright, draper, Langford and perkins and the problem is solved

We'd probably be fine letting them all go.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

We'd probably be fine letting them all go.

Either way it solves the issue of fitting May and McMahon in when we've already signed edwards and jones

Yeah I'd be happy to shop Jones. I think we've seen enough to know his ceiling. In a rebuilding context it's probably better for us to explore what the other three can bring.

May is signed for next year.

 

[King Patty]

May is signed for next year.

Thanks Collingwood.

 

[Yoda_]

We look so much better structurally with this guy out of the goal square

 

[Sleepwalker]

Is there a likeness to Mitch Brown? I think he's worth another year and go from there.

 

[Zach Package]

Tell you what if we don’t sign him up someone will.

He’s a 40 goal forward back at Collingwood

 

[Doss]

See ball, get goal. I like him.

 

[andleanback]

Tell you what if we don’t sign him up someone will.

He’s a 40 goal forward back at Collingwood

He’ll get signed

 

[thepokey]

Yeah this is a no brainer signing. Also agree with the above, I am getting Mitch Brown vibes, but in a good way. Like, similar, but better

 

[BratPack]

Just put a contract in front of him the minute we come off the field and ask how many zeroes we should add

 

[JayJ20]

Extension immediately

 

[ydc55]

Great he has kicked 4 but he loses many 1 on 1 contests

 

[Yoda_]

hes only 13 behind 2MP


Just saying

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Great he has kicked 4 but he loses many 1 on 1 contests

Yeah hes a good kick at goal but im not seeing it. With edwards and Jones already re-signed I only see a spot for him if Langford leaves

 

[ydc55]

I reckon he may get a rookie spot.
He is ahead of smartt but May is signed for 26 and could be pretty good and blakiston will be ruck depth

May im happy to develop as hes a point of difference to rest of our tall forwards, not knocking Mcmahon but I just see him as too similar to all our other lead up talls but with accurate kicking.
If we hadnt jumped the gun with jones would prefer mcmahon but unfortunately we did.
