Haha fair cop. I shouldn't be a wet blanket, hes taken his opportunities!

 

[bomberlegend2007]

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

Huh?

 

[eth-dog]

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

He was 20 goals behind him coming into the game

 

[MiguelM]

I would keep him ahead of Blakiston IMO.

you're right. i'm just sick of the debbie downers all the time. he's certainly far from the worst forward on our list and he kept us in the game tonight

I mean, they're fighting for two different positions? I reckon both get contracts

Agree. It just gets boring.

He does what he needs to do - execute. Caddy looks like he could be great but doesn't strike me as the type to rack up bags this guy does. Only question, he looked like he was carrying something in the last quarter or so before going off - did he do a hammy too?

 

[windyhill]

Kyle who ?

 

[eDPS]

He is the type of forward that would dominate with some consistent good ball use going inside 50. It’s handy to have a forward that takes his chances in the air and at ground level

 

[DERO]

Podsiadly.

Well done Liam McMahon, your old man would be pumped

 

[Run and carry]

He's not a power forward. He's not athletic or quick. Doesn't look like a footballer. But he is clever and he kicks straight.

He's our 2025 version of Mitch Brown.

 

[BomberManU]

I think this guy could be a very consistent performer, as the team improves. Looks like a 'true' footballer. Better entries and some more cohesion in the F50 is what he needs. Hope they keep him.

 

[blitzer]

He's our 2025 version of Mitch Brown.

Honestly Mitch Brown without his injuries would have been a pretty decent forward.

McMahon I think has more upside. Taller, younger, has played forward for years and developed his craft more. I don't think he's just a guy that kicks straight (which to be fair is already a great attribute).

 

[bacon buster]

I like McMahon. I think he seems pretty versatile in that he can mark on lead or crumb the ball. I think he could kick goals consistently without being the focal point

I would hope that we keep him on the list.

 

[MattyB3150]

He makes the most of his opportunities. He isn’t going to win a Coleman but you can back him to kick 2-4 goals per game. He can kick from a set shot or a crumbing goal

 

[Atavistic]

Eight goals in four games and none have been against easy opponents. He's earned a spot.

 

[Skipper_]

He makes the most of his opportunities. He isn’t going to win a Coleman but you can back him to kick 2-4 goals per game. He can kick from a set shot or a crumbing goal

If he is kicking 2-4 goals a game then we have one of the best key forwards of the modern era.

 

[JayJ20]

The post-game comments proves to me that some people don't appreciate natural goal-kickers over all the extra mayo.

Some players just know where the goals are and where to position themselves inside 50 without the extra fanfare or standout skills. He is kicking goals vs good opponents with our putrid ball movement where we can barely crack 7 goals for the game.

We already have Caddy as the crazy talent and May who will be a huge unit of a tall forward. McMahon is a dangerous 3rd tall that complements the others.

I would keep them both. Not like the rookie draft this year is going to be anything flash.
