No farewell game for Jordan McMahon

JORDAN McMahon will bow out of football with the dubious honour of being Richmond's only senior listed player overlooked for selection by first-year coach Damien Hardwick.
The Tigers confirmed youngster Dylan Grimes would be picked to play in Sunday's match against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.
Grimes, brother of Melbourne rising star Jack, will become the 42nd Richmond player to run out for an AFL game this year - the most players used by a club since the Sydney Swans used 43 in 1993.
It leaves the injured McMahon as the last of 38 senior listed players at Punt Rd to miss out on a game.
Another five elevated rookies have been used by the Tigers under Hardwick.
McMahon, 27, is in the final season of an estimated $1 million three-year deal and had been out of favour before suffering a leg injury for Coburg in the VFL about five weeks ago, cruelling any chance of a farewell game.
"He's probably been a little bit unlucky," Tigers general manager of football Craig Cameron said.
"He was every chance to get a game with our numbers getting low, but he's carried himself really well."
McMahon was recruited from the Western Bulldogs by former Richmond coach Terry Wallace in exchange for pick 19 in the 2007 national draft, used by the Dogs on midfielder Callan Ward.
He played 12 games last season, highlighted by a post-siren 50m goal against Melbourne in Round 18.

Should get him into a ring with Matthew newton, I'd favour Mattie as he has form belting up chicks
-
I would hardly say that he has been unlucky. His form at Coburg when he was playing was pretty poor
-
That's actually funny Y&B where did you rip that off from
-
By the sounds of it, McMahon went back to Coburg, sulked and played like he knew it was his last season.
Guys like Tuck, White and King went back and busted their backsides and were rewarded.
-
ahh well, he can dab away the tears with his four hundred thousand dollars and work on his Brian Ferry cover bands big opening at Tabaret and the side line of going jigalo for old pommie baby boomers will keep him cashed to the pepsi max. "now the parties over....im sooo tiiired...aaavalon"
-
Isn't he was going back to school as an undercover detective with some of the Deluise brothers?

He'll be picked up by another team who needs more outside players.
Such a wasted trade :banghead If he was able to change his mindset and fight for a spot in the team he may well have resurrected his team but we can no longer afford purely offensive players any more.

I wish he went to Port Adelaide like he was planning to, why did we have to talk him out of it? :banghead

When was he going to Port Infamy?

When was he going to Port Infamy?
The year we got him, Port were also interested...
Miller snapped him up with pick 19 because he was scared Port Adelaide might have gotten him... :'(

Bahaha Jordan WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?
Pig of a bloke.

As much as we all enjoy a good Jordie bagging thread lol, it wasn't Jordie's fault he was traded for pick 19 :scream to us. If you've got a decision of either going to a club wanting you and willing to pay you $1m over 3 years for you services or you at best remaining stuck playing for Werribee all year then any player would jump at the $1m over 3 offer. The finger should be pointed at those above who insanely made this trade :banghead.

I remember posting in here that this trade should be Veto'd by the board when It was first mooted. Should have happened as well, it is one of the worst trade jobs ever executed in the history of footy!

Cameron could kick on both feet, McMahon couldn't kick on any.
-
Cameron was a sublime footballer, and McMahon is not as good as him full stop.

You know him Popelord?

This.

I actually feel bad that he cops so much over the top vitriol, no one at the club deserves that. He goes out and does his best, his best hasn't cut it, you can't blame him for giving it a shake, anyone would think he bonked ya wife and wiped his nob on the curtains the way some are carrying on.
-
Yeah it not his fault he plays like a girl and has a mustacha like porn star.
Good luck Jordie ya disgrace of a footballer

All l can say is Jackstar was correct from day 1, say sorry you nuffers ;D
