This is probably one of the worst recruiting videos I've ever seen. The first 2-3 mins are horrible, just did everything wrong. It is amazing he got drafted after seeing that footage.

Thankfully he has come good and is one of my favourite players

You think that's bad? The only other youtube highlight is THAT kick vs St Kilda

I was lucky enough to get to sponsor this hell-beast in 2012.

Reports from training indicate that he's looking strong and training well.

Put this into the sponsors thread, it's a moronic rhyme I made up:

Eric Mackenzie,
the Epic Defendzie,
I'll be sponsoring,
while he'll be monstoring,
Opponents; failed goal-kicking proponents,

Ezy E molesting,
Ruckmen supposedly resting;
Avoiding the forward 50,
Like they got goal-kicking allergy,
Here comes an analogy:

He's like an AFL Jesus!
More punch than pungent cheeses,
His legend Suma Magic be spreading,
Cloke, Buddy and Kepler dreading,
Their efforts he's foiling,
all the while spoiling:

Marks and dreams,
as Ezy E reams,
all 17 teams,
disposal hospital clean,
an AFL Dean:

From the school of defending,
AFL equivalent of goal tending,
On Twitter he's perennially trending,
KPF careers are ending,
Palestine/Israel relationships he's mending.

Mackenzie's softly spoken,
Silent as endless records are broken,
Bitches Facebook poking,
looking for a slice of Mackenzie action,
bit of midnight traction:

I'm getting off-topic,
Rhyme turning into an epic,
so I'm bailing,
Eric Mackenzie 2012 All-Australian.

A bit of EMac chat on the main board around AA for this year: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=901367&page=5

EMac was looking big and strong at training last week, ready to monster in the 1-on-1.

 

[Suma Magic]

Hot off the press: http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7155/newsid/127879/default.aspx

Injuries remain his most challenging opponent.

 

[Suma Magic]

Some promising training reports coming out for EMac.

Can't wait to see him dominate on sunday night.

 

[AndysAngels]

hahaha Suma Magic that rhyme was the best thing ive ever read. you win one internets.

 

[Suma Magic]

Haha thanks. Yeah I'd thought there was some wicked flow, but then again I'm biased, cos I wrote it.

EMac looking solid again last weekend. Didn't have much to do but he did it well.

Wonder if he plays who he will get against Port. Maybe Butcher or Shultz?

 

[Suma Magic]

Get well soon Eric:

http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/articles/2012/03/11/mackenzie-down-but-not-out/

Such a brutal falcon. Hopefully he is ok to take on the Crows.

 

[Patron]

Yeah i wonder if he will play, woosha seemed to think he was fine and showed no signs of concussion but teams are pretty careful about this stuff these days. Important player for us so would be great to have him available for the final.

 

[Suma Magic]

For all your Eric Mackenzie NAB cup statistics, you've come to the right place (couldn't work out how to post it better than this).

His form has been pretty good, the concussion was tough but I think he's going to be an important defensively this year.

14 1%ers last night! Second best on the ground was 7 (Schofield). Guessing most were spoils.

I can see him spoiling a lot of marks this year. The parents of his opponents will be disappointed with how spoilt they've become since they started playing against Eric.

 

[Suma Magic]

I can't remember many marks by doggie talls today. Mackenzie was rock solid as always.

Hopefully he can build some solid form in the next couple of weeks in preparation for a massive game against the hawks.

 

[Suma Magic]

Not the best game for E=MC^2 on the weekend, with boom recruit Mitch Clark kicking a bag. I'm backing him to bounce back and improve his ground level skills.

 

[Suma Magic]

Very solid game on the weekend for Eric, some awesome towering marks.

He's really freed up Glass, who is in scintillating form.

Very proud of Eric's performance so far this year.

But the true test will come in the second half of the year, as we've only played 2 top 8 teams thus far.

 

[Suma Magic]

Eric v Travis.

Whilst their first names do not suggest an epic battle, it is perhaps the most important match-up on Saturday.

Can Mackenzie back up his domination of Cloke in last year's qualifying final? Or will the incentive of increasing his next contract price mean that Cloke will take the honours?

I'm backing Eric to keep CLoke to 2 goals 2, and take the honours.

Man, this is brilliant

 

[Suma Magic]

Stick in their Eric, you'll bounce back this week.

 

[Suma Magic]

Eric makes it to the main board, the response is luke cold at best: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/mckenzie-out-of-fri-nights-game.969603/#post-25434113

 

[ioppolo]

In all fairness, he is generally overrated by some of our fans.

[Suma Magic]

Thanks for a great year Eric. It's been fantastic. I'll never forget 2012. sm

 

[eaglespremiers]

Well Eric is recovering from hip surgery apparently but he is now back in to the training schedule.
As far as I'm aware this shouldn't impede him next year.
