How on earth can anymore who goes and watch footy would stick up for Jordon McMahon.
We could of had Callan Ward etc.
McMahon is an absolutely disgraceful footballer.
Did not have an opponent for the entire night.
And we used to bag Tiva ::) ::) ::) ::)

No, we could have had Scott Selwood as that's who Jackson wanted with pick 19.
Not that it's that much different anyway because Selwood has looked promising in the past few games for the Eagles. :-[
-
Tivers should never be mentioned in the same breath as this useless footballer.
lets hear again from you Mcmahon lovers how his penetrating kicks are so damaging.
What a waste of space. I stuffin hope Campo dumps this fool back to Coburg never to wear Yellow and Black again.
I remember the day he ewas recruited and how so many people were rapped with the selection, much like they are with those 2 other supposedly INSIDE PLAYERS Thompson and Hislop. what a disgrace selecting those 2 was.

too many threads about the same topics every week
stop this torture to ourselves ;D

The excuse at the time from the Club being that it was a weak draft in terms of depth and the likes of Rance and Selwood wouldn't be around by both our picks 18 & 19 :P. Good clubs put their faith in the National draft as the best way to bring in the best young talent and put their resources towards it; Bad clubs don't and make up excuses instead. We've been the latter sadly.

Make sure it doesn't happen again ;D

We'll be able to see Scott Selwood for ourselves close up next week. He has 17 possies, 4 tackles and a goal against the Cats today. The Eagles had an "honourable loss".

Woosha and the Eagles are smart operators. They know exactly what needs to be done.
They will win a flag in the next 5 years and we will still be struggling

Tlak about groundhog day with this thread (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-confused009.gif)

With respect to Thomo and Hislop....I was at the pre-draft night last year and FJ or CC (i think it was the latter) said with respect to Thomo's trade that they wanted to ensure a midfielder came thru the door.
What I couldnt and still cant understand is why they didn't trade for Prismall. Who had just broken into the much vaunted Geelong midfield. Bombers gave up a 3rd round pick (no. 39) for Prismall and we gave up a 3rd round pick for Thomo (no. 42)....So in effect not much difference between 39 and 42.....Prismall has played one game already for the bombers after a knee reco...and Thomo is still at the Burgers??????? makes you scratch your head.
-
You aren't an OER member if you havent weighed into the McMahon debate so let me for the record say that I absolutely hate him as a footballer.
-
Along with McMahon who is useless you have to include Kane Johnson.
Both as equal's in football tallent.
Get rid of both at the end of the year and we will be able to start on the right track for once.
-
You didn't need to be much of a lip-reader to see what Rodney Eade thought of him on the weekend! ;D
-
please explain?
-
please explain?
When McMahon got free to sneak out the back and kick an easy goal, the camera went to Eade in the box who was seen to be shouting "F@#!ing C%#t!"
-
I seen that to, and read his lips as he said those words.
So Eade can't denie saying them. Bad timing for him but.
-
Don't like to harp, but apparently Callan Ward had a fair game on the weekend.....
:banghead
-
Do we actually know that the RFC would have picked up Callan Ward if we had kept pick 19????

Scott Selwood was the initial thought before the trade was concieved....

So there we go Ward wasn't even on the radar so there is no point crying over milk that wasn't even spilt in the first place.

However Selwood is already a regular in the West Coast side in only his 2nd year
Resume spillage of milk and subsequently the tears

It's more of a 'we got McMahon' whinge WAT.
We mightn't have picked Ward, and i'm not saying I want him, but we used a TOP 20 pick on a guy that was:
A) Playing VFL for the Bulldogs.
B) Was going to leave and nominate for the PSD anyway;
McMahon is the milk, and it's all over the floor and i'm bawling my eyes out! :rollin

Well are we still crying over Pavlich? Yes we got McMahon and oh well it didn't work but we have made many many many mistakes recruiting and this may have just been one more of them.

There is a difference with this one.
The draft is a lottery, Fiora was highly rated, Oakley-Nicholls was highly rated. They just didn't turn out.
We knew what we were getting with McMahon, he'd been around since 2000. Hopefully whoever was responsible for this trade is no longer at the club.
-
I think that is so true just because they perform well on trials days to make them look realy good. Then fail when it is in the big time is what these so called tallent scouts should be able to see through. And this brings me to that point where it was said lets hope these recruiters are no longer with us so true.
Or could it be just just don't fit in with what we have at the club at that time to.
I don't know, but I am sure others will.

ask the dogs for a refund ::)
-

Would have been more easy to say 'oh well' if we did not give away a top 20 draft pick.
the draft is not a lottery. morons.

I don't know if the word lottery is correct, but just because you have the number 2 pick, doesn't mean you're going to get the 2nd best player in the draft.
-
That is so true.
When it is your turn to pick you might pick, what others would teams might say, that player should be pick 20.
But you picked him at number 2 because he is what is needed at your club.

Yep, and when another team's pick #4 has an instant impact and your #2 steadily improves you then get pilloried for taking the wrong player. Or worse still, when your pick #3 turns out to be a dud then you get pilloried for not taking any of the subsequently successful picks between that one and your next. Even when, to the best of your ability and knowledge, and within the resources limits you have to operate under, you choose who you think is the best for your list. A lot of hindsight experts in all areas of the football world - and the best ones are usually the loudest.

It was shocker of a trade on just so many levels. Even financially. We're paying someone $300k to play VFL and possibly again next year :help compared to paying a Selwood $120k to develop while playing AFL footy. The $180k difference could have gone towards extra recruiting and development resources and personnel.
Francis Jackson was an unashamed Scott Selwood fan so that's who we missed out on. Ward wasn't on the radar. The argument for trading for McMahon was that it was draft with poor depth and the likes of a Selwood and Rance wouldn't be still available at picks 18 and 19. So not only did we stuff up doing the trade we didn't read the draft and its talent pool correctly either. Concerningly I've heard us say the same thing about this year's draft (ie. its lack of depth) :-\.
There's nothing we can do about the McMahon trade now but you would have hoped we would've learnt our lesson and focussed on drafting and developing our own instead. But of course even with a new football director at the helm we still overpaid and traded away a decent pick for another club's fringe player playing in a state league :banghead.

Maybe not.
But you have a very good chance of getting the 2nd best player.

Ummm, B.E, just one question mate, why are you quoting yourself and then arguing against your original comment?????? :rollin :lol

If recruiting was done at a supermarket he'd need to be kept in the soft serve section under refrigeration :banghead

If he was a racehorse, he would be dog meat by now.
HOPELESS

Its the same thing every year. BLAH BLAH, IF the club continues to accept mediocrity in all that they do, including recruiting, well I hate to break the bad news to you boys but we aren't gonna get it right most times......
But even if they do get it right occasionally, the player development is so poor at the moment, those up & coming, players with their careers ahead of them, will end up on the scrap heap like all the coaches that have ended up @ Richmond. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity my friends.
Money gets the best off field people to the club. We need to get them. Starting with Neil Balme.!!!
