kangaroos.com.au says
McMahon was struck down by a rare illness which forced him to miss a large part of the first half of the season. He gained several kilos as a result of medication and took time to get back to peak physical fitness.
His return to the side coincided with North's improved form. Shoring up the backline, his cool head under pressure helped the other members of the defensive six.
He also made a name for himself as a honest, straight-talking interviewee as North Melbourne fans found out via post-match videos.
Quotes
"Scott McMahon's nickname is "Loose", but his on-field presence suggests otherwise."
Mark Robinson - Herald Sun
"I don't really feel like (I'm) a leader other than on game day, I talk a hell of a lot more and instruct in the games, but during the week I don't speak up as much.''
Scott McMahon
"McMahon missed last weekend's game against Gold Coast after developing the viral infection urticaria, commonly known as hives."
