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

[andleanback]

Just a good footballer

 

[Skipper_]

What's the injury, an elbow maybe?

Got his wrist/hand stomped on

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah looked like a wrist. I was really enjoying his endeavour though tonight. He's put a couple of games together now.



****ing typical really.

 

[ghostdog]

Ranks elite for set shot goal accuracy.

 

[Vindicater]

He looked in alot of pain.

I reckon the wrist is broken.

Scott said it was the hand that was stomped on and there was some swelling. Hopefully not too bad and can play against the Blues

 

[Gabe251]

How many talls can we go through

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Only kicked 3 goals. Loser. Delist.

 

[jmoo wan]

getting stomped on is one of the worst injuries anyone can suffer, i’d the AFL are a serious organisation they should come down hard to stomp this act out

ban the cowardstomp

mitch brown would kick 4

 

[crackers65]

If we don’t re sign him, 17 other clubs will be lining up.

 

[bommer16]

Any news on his hand/wrist?

 

[faible]

How many talls can we go through

How many are left? You’d be sweating being an EFC player over 190cm at the moment

 

[bombreys]

If we don’t re sign him, 17 other clubs will be lining up.

If Jones and Guelfi are getting 2-year extensions, McMahon can expect a 5-year contract on his desk come Monday morning.

Any news on his hand/wrist?

PTSD kicking in already - please may it not be a Hurley type wrist injury that destroyed his ability to mark with hands

Looked more mid-hand than scaphoid.

Did it look deliberate or accidental?

 

[bommer16]

Looked accidental to me. I thought it was more fingers knuckle region. Either way looked painful.

 

[Nicholas61]

The time Billy stepped on Dermie's hand and twisted his studs left Dermie with long term issues, that one we don't mind so much

“Some days I can’t shake hands with other men, and if they do so, I fear they’ll re-open some of the broken bones in my hands from defenders’ spoils and from when (a rival player) jumped on my hand deliberately.

 

[blitzer]

I think he's clearly done enough to get a new contract regardless of whether he plays in the last 2 games. Next year it will probably be Caddy, Wright/Draper (if he stays) and then probably McMahon/May fighting it out for that last spot.
It is a bit awkward because we do have too many players on our list in that role eg Langford, Jones, Edwards etc

In the case of Langford and Jones they can play other roles (Langford down back seems plausible to me) and Jones isn't necessarily best 22. Edwards is going to be up against it coming off an ACL but it is what it is.

By the end of next year we probably need to get rid of probably min 2, perhaps 3+ of the above players but considering that McMahon has shown the best form per game (small sample size granted) of any player above I'd still do it.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

If we don’t re sign him, 17 other clubs will be lining up.

Just like Kaine Baldwin, right?

 

[jannissary]

Just like Kaine Baldwin, right?

pretty disingenuous, lol. feel like collingwood snap him up in a second

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Not going to lie - I don't see it with this guy. Bruno's Brown comparison is actually pretty apt I would've thought.

I'd still give him another year - but I don't see how he works in a forward line with Wright, Caddy, Langford, Perkins etc. He has a great shot on him, but I don't think there are enough strings to his bow in being a reliable link up player up the ground or creative at ground level consistently.

 

[King Patty]

It was interesting Carlton played Weitering on McMahon not Wright.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

It was interesting Carlton played Weitering on McMahon not Wright.

I think like Andrews and Moore they prefer him to play on the 2nd or 3rd tall so he can zone off a bit. But unlike Moore, he and Andrews can still play alright on the number 1 tall.
