Jordan McMahon (born 27 May 1983) is an Australian rules football player. McMahon, a native South Australian, was drafted from the Glenelg Football Club in the 2000 AFL Draft as a first round selection (10th overall) by the Western Bulldogs. Playing as a running defender, McMahon had seven seasons at the Western Bulldogs, debuting in 2001 for four games. He began to establish himself in the Bulldogs defense with 15 games in 2002, including every game from Round 14–22. He was awarded an AFL Rising Star Nomination for his 25 possession game against the Eagles in round 18, 2002.
He played 18 games in 2003, 16 games in 2004, 19 games in 2005 and all 24 in 2006, including two finals and 18 in 2007, establishing himself as an important member of the Bulldogs' defense, being assigned dangerous small forwards and providing run and rebound.
After seven seasons and 114 games for the Bulldogs he was traded to Richmond for pick number 19 in the 2007 Draft. Richmond coach Terry Wallace, his original coach at the Bulldogs, lured him to Richmond, keen to exploit his pace and kicking skill.
In 2008, McMahon made a solid debut for the Tigers in their Round 1 clash against Carlton at the MCG. His 22 disposals and seven marks helped Richmond get over the line by 30 points. In round 4 against Fremantle he played one of the best games of his career. McMahon was damaging as he kept finding the football across centre half back with 20 kicks and 12 handballs adding to a total of an outstanding career high of 32 disposals with a brilliant goal from outside 50. Against the odds, the Tigers crushed the Dockers at Subiaco by 64 points. He played all 22 games in 2008 and had the club's most kicks, most handballs received, most rebounds from defensive 50 and came eighth in the Best and Fairest.
In 2009 he played 12 games. He was the hero, kicking the match winning goal after the siren for Richmond against Melbourne in Round 18.[1]
After Terry Wallace was replaced as coach by Damien Hardwick in 2010 he was never selected[2] and also suffered a leg injury.[3] He was delisted by Richmond on 14 October 2010.
He will return to Glenelg in 2011 after signing a two year contract in December 2010.[4]
