If McMahon didn’t impress during the train on period with our club, what makes you think he would during the AFL season proper?
Mcmahon has traits. His 2.8gls a game in VFL should count as the 44th player on list. VFL form should count over training form. Seriously 2 players selected are the same types, one of them is on his 3rd chance

McMahon isn’t on our list. But he isn’t on anyone else’s either. I agree the VFL form seemed good. But we aren’t the only club to overlook him. So clearly there are some concerns held more widely about his AFL capabilities.

Well I don't sucumb to group think. I know what I see. Mcmahon is a better footballer than Lemmey, Evans and white. Mcmahon is worth a year on the list given Curnow's injury
 
This is rubbish. SOS nailed about 5 picks in 5 years. It has only been since getting rid of a lot of the high picks SOS brought in that we’ve gotten better. As well as our investment in and nailing of SSP and MSD players over the last 3 or 4 years
Weitering, McKay, Curnow, Cripps, de Koning is more than a leg up. Pull your head in.

I also don't succumb to people saying that he didn't impress enough at preseason to be given a list spot. Unless I hear if from the club, it means diddly squat. At the end of the day, if we wanted a tall in the SSP, we would have taken a tall.

Totally agree that McMahon should be on our list this year - he's a plug and play option, and a far better option than Lemmey as it currently stands as a back up if our tall stocks deplete.

I still have some hope for big Lem, but from what I've seen still looks a long way off.

To be fair, the ones he nailed are still the spine of our team which is one of, if not the best in the game. McKay and Curnow in particular were not guarantees to pan out, nor was TDK.
 
They've had a more balanced approach to drafting, trades and list composition.

We have lots of depth at one position because of all the picks that have gone into small forwards.

When one third of our list are small forwards, depth at other positions is compromised.
Do we have 15 small forwards on the list?

He's clearly not quite up to it. He had similar goal kicking figures at the Suns VFL and they never had him on their senior list before eventually moving him on. He's kept that form up at Carlton VFL but still hasn't got the chance.

It's not just Carlton not senior listing him, it's every team in the AFL. We have a closer look at him than the rest, sure, but after 3 yrs of finishing at the pointy end of the goal kicking tally no AFL team is interested.

I think he's one of those guys that is very good at VFL level but physical limitations would have him exposed at AFL level. He's at a very similar VFL output to Chris Burgess, but Burgess is stronger and more athletic (while not being that athletic or strong, just moreso than McMahon) so has gotten gigs on 2 AFL lists but is still clearly below the level physically.

Looking ahead VERY early if say the following might be looking for a new team or a new career in 2026:

Durdin
HOK
Pitto
Monahan

Anyone else.

We need to fit in the following:
Harry Dean
Jack Ison
Tyson Gresham
Mingara Clark
Imo Ison is the only of that group I'd say is a bankable talent of that group. Others may come on this year but I wouldn't be clearing the decks for them just yet
