Again, nothing against Jordy. Open your eyes and read what is written. Pick number 19 for Jordan McMahon is the most embarrassing trade we have made. I hope Jordy does well, and he is doing ok so far against the weaker teams, when the pressure is on we will then see. He is an upgrade on Raines and King at half back, but was that needed for such a sacrifice. Calling me a Feral. Well done moron.

I was a supporter of Moore, I stick up for Meyer, I see what I see and have an opinion on it. Labeling people on this site with a different view on things at the football club and labeling them "darksiders" or "ferals" is a bloody joke. Just because I see things as not all great and wonderful doesn't mean I don't have passion and love for the club like you hypocrites. Geez, 25 years of crapness and it's a wonder how things can always be so good.
What I liked was Jordy showing a bit of passion at the end when the siren went. He was also one of the only guys in their sticking up for McGuane at one stage when he tried to take on about 4 Essendon bufoons.

That's a pretty embarrassing statement Bob, ignoring the fact that Sanchez has had his best year to date and Selwood's form has been pretty uninspiring, we have made some horrible recruiting mistakes that make this look like the trade of the century. It amazes me that pick 19 has become some sort of holy grail and irrefutable evidence that recruiting McMahon was a mistake.

I think I may have had the passion of my anger effect my response, I still believe it will go down as ONE of the worst decisions we have made.
He has had a decent year, if this is his best year, well then it confirms to me that Pick 19 was to big a price to pay.
An early pick in the draft to develop a list of young, hungry footballers who we can call our own. That's what it is all about. McMahon is what we have, and every football fan was astounded at the time when we pulled the trigger on the deal.
Also Selwood's form been pretty uninspiring? That different from what I am hearing from my Perth based, Eagle loving cousins. They say his WAFL form has been very good, and he has the courage to run head first into packs and take a hit. They are telling me he has leadership written all over him. Also I noticed he has been named emergency a few times. Where have you heard that his form (the form of a first year player) has been so bad?
Selwood looked ordinary against the Lions, didn't look composed under pressure and is definitely out of his depth at present. He has plenty of time to come to terms with the AFL but he's by no means a dead certainty.
On Sanchez, most Dogs supporters had high opinions of him at least up until his form slump last year, stastistically he's improved out of sight and breaks the lines which is rarely acknowledged in number crunching. Who's to say he can't take it to the next level? Just because he plays in an obviously unglamourous position doesn't mean he can't be damaging, look at Mcleod for starters.

I think either you are just born (in which case welcome to the world) or have recently immigrated (in which case welcome to Australia) and don't know the Tiger's recruiting history if you think that McMahon is our most embarassing ever trade. Let's not get carried away.

Yeah, saw that. I think 'the only guy sticking up for McGuane' is more accurate. Backing team mates in a scrap is something we're pretty average at. Good to see it from such a lightly built bloke. I don't think he's as soft as a lot of people say.
I was disappointed with the trade and would hope RFC is cracking down on wasteful use of picks, but now he's in I like Jordy.
Saw the WCE match last night for the first time. In the first quarter I saw Sanchez jump into a pack to spoil a mark. he got some height and decent body contact. Didn't look like he was shy to get involved.
I really do think people have passed judgement on Sanchez because he went at Pick 19 and they need him to be a weak front running gutless squib so they can strut around saying "I told you so, I get it right more often than wrong". Anyone who is prepared to cast an unbiased eye on his performances will see that he'll feature in at least the top 5 of the JD medal this year.

Jordys been awesome this year and I was a critic of the trade. We didnt recruit him to do the big bodied stuff, and when it is his turn, IMO I think hes done a pretty good job. Yes we mightve paid a little high, but that dosnt hide the fact he's been one of our most consistent performers throughout the year, and has even won a couple of matches off his own boot imo (Essendon and Port). Keep it up Jordy :clap
