Universal Love Mackay to Retire

[Glenno23]

Well this changes everything

I better go and adjust my best 22 for round 1 2022

Thanks for giving everything you had to the jumper D-Mac. Enjoy retirement!

 

[Jbudds]

Wonderful servant of the club. Thanks Dmac.

MacKay may not have been our best player but he certainly gave his all for the club. During the past 3-5 years his class may have diminished a little and he has had to contend with all the negative comments on BF from his own supporters. It must have been difficult for him but never the less he still managed to play 240 odd games. well done David. Wish some our youngsters and some of our other seniors players could put in the same level of effort.

All the best for your next adventure.

What will this board do now, this loss will be epic!!

I just kind of assumed that we'd be shutting down the Adelaide Bigfooty board. Is that not the case? Are we actually planning to keep it going?

 

[Anzacpaul]

He deserves nothing but praise for the effort he put in and service to the club, regardless of what you think of his output.

You should be canning the selectors, not David.

 

[Bovo]

Does this mean this is our last Mackay thread? It is indeed a sad day! So which player takes over as the fans scapegoat? EH and Framptom seem to be leading the race atm.

 

[Magma]

tried his best

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Virtue signallers out in force in this thread again I see, once again talking more about these supposed negative nancys than actual negative posts

 

[Go the Guts]

Congrats DMac on your 200+ game AFL career. You’ve been a great servant of our club.

Two weeks into preseason I predict Nicks will be playing guitar outside Mackay's window with a rose in his mouth begging him to come back.

I think that's Clarko that plays the guitar.

 

[Firewalker]

That is true, particularly his biggest fan that is no longer with us Scott "we really miss David out there" Camporeale.

Yeah but then Campo went all jilted lover on him mid last year saying he was lucky to still be on the list in 2020 and should definitely be delisted at the end of that season

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Thursday nights will never be the same

I like this strategy from list management. They are basically telling Nick's to develop the team instead of playing the oldest team possible. About time.

By offering Mackay a rookie contract which he refused and chose to retire instead?

Small mercies.

Well we’ve still got the “Port suck” thing to post about, so that should keep us going for a few more years

 

[dogs105]

Champion bloke, and very gracious towards the supporters of the club.

 

[Cyclonus]

My favourite thing about him was that he would often go into a contest with no regards for his safety. All the best to him.

 

[Deaneus!]

Well done David, you were a long and faithful servant of the club, all the best for the future

thank you Adelaide board for keeping it classy, he deserves nothing less

 

[Vhaluus]

Never questioned his intent or effort, just his selection.

Good luck to him in the next chapter of his life.

 

[Crow-eater]

Thanks DMac. A loyal servant of the club, who always gave his all.

And thank you for hanging up the boots and saving the club from itself.





(Was I the only one who had no idea he had THREE kids? I thought it was just the one)

 

[Jars458]

Thank you.

'The club wanted him to play on..' It's easy to say that after he retired. I don't buy it.

He choked up a few times when he revealed it to the players in that video.

Its the most I've heard from him in years, he speaks quite well.
