Past #1: Jack Mahony - drafted w #34 in '17 ND - delisted end '23 - 40 NM games/17 NM goals - thx Mahns

[Themanbun]

I’m not usually a pearl clutcher, but maybe we should give this player a break.
I don’t think effort has ever been an issue, and he didn’t pick himself.

 

[Lomas]

I feel it more because he’s my friend’s son, but it’s sad seeing how many adults have fun saying this stuff about a kid who has done nothing but be chosen in the draft and selected to play at AFL and VFL level, and is trying his hardest. If you have kids or you know any, have a think.

Very well said.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Gutless campaigners!

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Watching Papley kick 6 tonight, I can see why people on here thought there was a bit of Papley in Mahony.

Spot on. No knocks on Jack. There is no doubt he has given it everything. I put the blame totally on Rawlings and Luff for drafting him. And then to rub salt into the wounds, they extended his contract!!!! That’s the kicker.

Not to mention, he’s already achieved more in his short time, than any of the keyboard w***ers on this board, including yours truly.

Fair but i dont think most of the critsism is aimed at jack himself, like you say he never picked himself. I for one dont blame him for accepting the offer(s) put to him. And cant recall any comments that he is a bludger.

Watching Warner was worse.

 

[The acurate one]

Unfortunately Jack isn’t an isolated case.

It was a period of time where we had NFI.
I’d delist a few before him fwiw.

Excuse me, I started a 20 piece puzzle yesterday that I got out of a cereal box. So who's the real winner?

what cereal was it?

 

[Gasometer]

I think I said a few times in 2022 that Jack was the least of our problems

I was proven correct

 

[The Nostradamus]

Maybe luffy will give us a first rounder from the blues for him since he rated him so highly

By the end of rd 5 back in 2022, the below six players combined for 21 games. their collective total to date this season = 0

5. 2. 2. 2. 5. 5

Yes he wasn't near our biggest problem, he is def part of it though.

 

[Its a Process]

Above chad Warner lol

Even Sydney had Will Gould and Elijah Taylor above the Chad.

taylor could play, just a fool.

 

[r00boy96]

I hope he goes well tomorrow. 5 tackles 10 kicks plus a goal and it'll be considered a success. He has it in him. He's dangerous around stoppage in the forward line especially on the move attacking and have seen him pin Oppo htb in there. Average set shot though is the problem and can't kick far. If we wanna play fast players like him and Drury need to move the ball well forward.

 

[SheezNuts]

Can't believe this guy is in.. genuinely thought he'd never play an AFL game again.

 

[Liam Boy]

had a better 2021 than people seem to remember. obviously has his limitations but at his best he brings good skills and forward pressure which we've really been lacking recently

 

[Themanbun]

As prophesied, the day has come.

 

[amaz199]

He's already a bust in my eyes because he looked devoid of confidence last year.

Honestly, who knows what could happen on Sunday.

 

[DunderHead]

He’s smart enough to follow a plan. Should be fit. Needs to get games and get confident. Don’t expect the fumbles to just disappear.

I love an underdog. Get around im boys!

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Tbh, I am willing to see if he plays differently under Clarko. Last year, was a year of low confidence and poor game plan across the playing group.
Again, if he can get 8 possessions, kick a goal and lay at least 2 tackles, he's ahead of Turner.

 

[Horizons_00]

Come on Jack. Give it your all and tackle like a mad man.

Make it hard for Clarko to drop you back to the VFL

Let's go crafty!
