That must have been before my time.
What WW can't get through his big head the beef with DMack was not the lack of talent but the fulfilling of that talent. We are seeing but have had to wait a long long time.

It seems like he's one of the few players in our squad that will consistently lower their eyes and pick out targets in the 50. He's also having a greater scoreboard impact than previous years, he's already almost eclipsed his career high in goals (in a single season).
I think most of us are pleased with DMac's 2014 season thus far however one good half season does not exonerate David for the previous 2-3 lean seasons
David is now 25, played 100+ games and rightfully so is now in that phase of his playing career where he should be producing his best and most consistent footy......
Really there should be no excuses just good performances

I agee TSR. Lets hope McKays form for the next 100 games matches his 2014 form and not his 2013 form.
And so to all those brave BF posters who can't recognize talent and just have a one-sided bias view of players performance ....here's to you
You're like the gambler who thinks winning the odd random hand means his luck has turned because he tunes out the losses

This should stir the MacKay hayters. Scroll to the Crows list at the bottom. Way better than D Talia, for one, obviously.

It essentially means he doesn't do much wrong. When he disposes it's usually advantageous, he doesn't give away many free kicks, he actually averages around 4 tackles per game. It's just that he doesn't do enough.how does mackay get to our top 10 when he plays a non statistical role
Have added the link to 2015 player ratings, it show how they came up with the numbers. and a tab to all the players which can be converted to team. And first year players interesting read.

Also, don't forget that the player ratings require the last 40 games to be played to post a decent score.
5 players from our Elimination Final squad hadn't played 40 games (Atkins, Cameron, M. Crouch, Hartigan, Knight), so their scores won't stack up, and another 2 had barely played more (Cheney, Laird).
In fact simply posting our squad by games played, it's easy to see how someone like Mackay would have played the last 40 games and made the top 10.
(Top 10 for us in bold)
- Thompson
- Betts
- Van Berlo
- Douglas
- [Dangerfield]
- Mackay
- Jacobs
- Sloane
- Walker
- Talia
- Smith
- Henderson
- Brown
- Jenkins
- Lynch
- Laird
- Cheney
- Cameron
- Hartigan
- M. Crouch
- Knight
- Atkins
- Van Berlo is not top 10 because he missed 2014 through injury
- Talia and Brown are lockdown defenders, which typically score less.
- Henderson is in and out of the team
- The bottom players are all young

Cant really have Brad Crouch in top 10 as he hasnt played in a while
Ranking based on Historical statistics. Quantitative over Qualitative.
Not surprised with VB and McKay's ranking.

This thread exists???
Once you factor in our quality players who don't feature well in these rankings, list changes from last year and the lack of games played by our injured, young and fringe players, it's really no surprise that Mackay is ranked where he is relative to his team mates.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
It was a fun 6-8 weeks that Mackay was in form.
But apparently if we lose Mackay at years end, it's a nothing loss
So a side that was lacking pace has supporters gladly GIVING him away and saying good riddance
How those rolly eyes looking now. Yeah, 2015 would have been a disaster without him.
Is it just me or are others getting sick of all the Mackay bashing? Right now he is a Crow. Right now he has a chance to get back to his best and assist us moving forward. Can't we pick on something else....like the Powa?
how does mackay get to our top 10 when he plays a non statistical role
He plays it quite brilliantly.
It's really the list manager who extended him and the selectors who rank him about 25th on a per game basis that keep selecting him that we are bashing. Mackay is just an average 24th-34th type player who has been overpaid and overselected. Not his fault.
