Essendon recruit Liam McMahon is this week's special guest on State of Play.
McMahon, who was captain of Carlton's VFL side, was selected by the Bombers in the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft on Wednesday night.
He joins State of Play to chat through his whirlwind week, which saw him play for the Bombers in Friday's close lose to the Brisbane Lions at Brighton Homes Arena just six days after leading out the Blues in their clash with Williamstown at IKON Park.
