mutineer will be happy about strauchan

what can we read into this?
1. we arent getting CCJ?
2. we arent taking RT if we only have pick 1? assuming he doesnt slide to 8.

1. Yup, can rule out CCJ.
2. Probably irrelevant to that, though it's pretty safe to assume we aren't taking RT with pick 1 considering McDonald is the better forward prospect of the two (seeing body of work is better and there is an obvious development path with McDonald as he needs to put on 10-12 kg), if we go in that direction.

Just got told DMac has been delisted.

Have not seen it on any Social Media feed though.

Strauchan and Thilthorpe aren't connected. Strauchan will still be out of the league in a year and Thilthorpe is a longterm option.

Wouldn't be a surprise. They need to start making some serious cuts.

I also have been told that. By you, just then.

Confirmation from multiple sources.

It's happening.

Not surprising, but thought he was alright this year.

We will probably pick him back up with a late pick.

Having said that, it is good to see the club has remembered we are meant to be rebuilding the list.

Probably true, yeah.

I think Mackay will be one of the last to know, as it won't happen until we've found out whether we can trade Kelly and Seedsman.

 

[Betts are off]

He was totally fine this year, good in fact. And from the reports i've seen from his teammates, coaches and Adam Kelly he was valued that way by the organization.

If he has been cut its completely fine, he's a player who's talent never surpassed his preparation/desire, which put him in the low ceiling/high floor category. These types are hard to cut (evident by how many games he played and coaches he played for) as they don't do a hell of a lot wrong, give you everything, understand structures, and bring a lot to the table outside of games.

But at 32 the list spot in a rebuilding side with a huge draft hand tips the value scale over what he could bring as a player in 2021.

Showed a bit, another couple of pre seasons in the gym and he could be anything

 

[skittlebrew]

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but Jack Viney resigned with MFC.

One less option for teams looking for a ready to go inside mid.

It’s happening. He’s going to Norwood.

Delisted

 

[Danger Zone]

I've said this multiple times, but I have nothing but respect for Mackay. Bleeds for the club. Brave, hard-working, professional. Throws his meager frame into harm's way. Sets the standards at training. Got close to 100% out of himself.

BUT, he is on the wrong side of 30 now and he has never been an elite player. Truthfully, he has been a B-grader, at best. We are right in the middle of a rebuild and at least a couple of years away from being a competitive finals team again. This is the sort of tough decision you need to make if winning a premiership is your ultimate goal, as it should be. Doesn't mean I won't be sad to see him retire though.

Throws his body into harms way, are we watching the same DMac?

I would be very comfortable if Adelaide either offered David the SANFL captaincy for a year or two, or a development coaching role at the club if he wanted it.

Mackay has his faults, but he has sat under more high balls from Laird and being ragdolled after Crouch hospital handballs than anyone. In all seriousness, missing a couple of tackles doesn't negate the fact that through his whole career he has always gone when it was his turn, which is sadly rare for an outside leaning player.

There are a lot of things you can critique Dmac for (seeing he was not a good outside midfielder at the best of times), however, bravery/toughness is certainly not one of them.

He was always willing to tackle (especially when compared to his contemporaries, seeing this is the first year in a long time that David averages less tackles then the average winger/half-back) and was always willing to put his head over the ball.

Atkins would have been a superstar for us with Mackays desire, and we sure as anything are praying Sholl can replicate it.

He has a kids frame so he's not very effective physically, but he doesn't shirk, have to give him that.
