Prediction Changes vs Brisbane

[rezagun]

That's simply an idiotic statement ......that situation happens 30 times a game, that you only mention due to 1 in 30 having your scapegoat involved ........bet your one who always criticizes umpires as the reason we lost games ......it's fitting your profile of an inability to be objective about team and player

1st year player goes for ball against 150 game veteran both lightly framed. 1st year player pushes him aside like a child. Its so idiotic it happens every game.

So tell me ........is it Thommo out ..Tex in, as the only change outside ROB ?

Amazingly everyone goes to town on Mackay, showing their complete emotional bias ......but then all admit he'll get picked .....trying to scapegoat that poor decision (in your eyes) as the fault of coaching panel & footy veterans, to fail to see what you and others see ......do you actually know stupid that actually sounds

It's not difficult to predict what will happen as opposed to what I think should happen. I've been taking an interest for a while and understand that b&f performance, ie actual game performance, isn't always reflected at selection. We know our club leans towards experience and tenure. Hendo's not far enough ahead to displace either of the other 2 from the team that played Sunday night. I don't think the selectors will choose between them, so I think Tex doesn't come back in. Another week off before a Freo tune up to be cherry ripe for Port. Also gives Gov another week of being a bigger banana. But if Tex was returning and Wiggs in then I'm going outside the square a bit and going with Dougie out.

If it's a call between Seed and Mackay to miss, I wouldn't be confident either way, maybe both with Hendo jumping the 2. I'm surprised anyone would have genuine confidence that isn't hopelessly biased one way or the other on the matter.

CEY has played for the AFC before he has already debuted for us. You guys sound like Campo trying to re-write history.



Laughable, more examples of "just because you played at the highest level doesn't mean you know much about football"



Bickley dismissed Seeds goals from 60m as if they were nothing, staggering how mateship/friendship clouds these guys views.

It is vitally important we have guys that can ping goals from 60m to counteract presses, Mackay has a shot from 40m and he couldn't even make the distance (besides been off target)

Did he say that about Seeds goals in response to a text? I sent one in after he originally said Mackay was better than Seeds

 

[1970crow]

That's simply a crap statement ......and typical of an ignorant supporter who actually doesn't understand footy ......please talk me thru then if you want to isolate the game play by play, second by second, Atkins pass with absolutely no pressure to an Essendon player in the centre square resulting in a turnover ......hasn't even raised a mention .....and that's typical of twats

jenny61_99 , here's an opportunity to scold WW.

 

[Elite Crow]

Too many knowledgeable people, ex coaches and current coaches saying Mackay played well to all be wrong ........have you tried actually watching a game, rather than watching the odd mistake a "scapegoat" player makes, overlooking the good

Have you actually watched Atkins game from Saturday? ........not good, but he's not a scapegoat

I have stated pre-season that Mackay was on thin ice and a week to week proposition .....at least i can watch players objectively without this hysteria that is baseless .......at some stage you'll have to admit you're wrong and the people who know 20 times what you do about the game are right

Umm who are all these people that Mackay played well?

 

[rezagun]

Of course you have ......hence the constant SANFL reviews comments .....pull the other one

jealous?

Its like he plays an ok game and it somehow morphs into being played well. Fact is we have a body of work to judge off of and its not pretty. Just ignore wayne who cant look past the latest game for rating a player.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

FTFY

to be fair, Mackay did lay one ripping tackle at the southern edge of the square that I remember, but not enough for a player of his experience

Just for the plebs:
Douglas, who everyone thinks is playing poorly .......game high 7 tackles

Seedsman who apparently is better value than Mackay because he tackles more .....had 4 tackles, the same as Mackay's 4 tackles

Atkins .....ZERO Tackles

Anymore statements you want to make

You seem happy to call everyone stupid but youre harping on one game against possibly the worst side of all time where everyone played well bar some like atkins.. who we should remind you steps up in big games this year.

I'm not sure if I've told you already, Wayne, but Mackay is not a good footballer.

 

[mistylake]

If CEY misses this week then I think we can take it that we know he is being traded.

Wouldn't you play him if good enough even if trading is on the cards. Show other teams he can get an AFL gig.

Happened in round 1. Vader described his 14 touch, poor game as being good and it's continued ever since. His year had morphed into very good by the time he played Collingwood, so was obviously harshly dealt with when being dropped off a single poor game.

 

[Elite Crow]

I do enjoy a good condescending WW rant, it makes him look rather foolish and does my job for me.

 

[1990crow]

I'm not sure if I've told you already, Wayne, but Mackay is not a good footballer.

 

[Anzacpaul]

I did see him a bit when we were shelling peas in the 2nd and 3rd, but reliably invisible when the going got tough.

I understand some people wanting to defend Mackay, but I think most would have the opinion there's some guys in the 2s that could offer no less with the potential for much more.

Rowey and Bicks thought Mackay was better than Seedsman

Talked up his two long goals - next breath, call them irrelevant as he didn't do any of the hard work.

No ...you look at a body of work for sure ......everyone has a bad game / shocker ......McGovern has a shocker then comes out and plays a ripper .....that's footy, that''s sport

More important is that certain players have roles in teams that make the team better .......Tex straightens a team up .....Mackay is a link player, which i think the majority here don't understand the role, its importance to how this team performs .......is Mackay immune to criticism?, absolutely not & i've said every player has a finite footy life whereby he'll be replaced ......but you have to accurately judge when that time is right, and calling for his head every game for the last 100 games, simply says those making the statements have no idea, given time and games has clearly proven their judgement to be wrong

Very easy to throw those statements out there with no basis or evidence to support the view or roles of players

7 tackles against the worst team in the side - awesome; obviously, with such tackle numbers, it'd be unreasonable to expect him to contribute offensive - or kick straight, occasionally.

Except i am prepared to wager any amount that Mackay won't be dropped .......so time to anty up to support your conviction

And that he thought mckay played a good game

I think a number of posters have been critical of Atkins game but he has had a good year and this is only his first real full season of playing AFL.

Mackay is a veteran who was dropped unlike Atkins recently.

But you have a strange habit of turning threads into one lone argument, you against the world.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Ahhh so tackle against lower sides carries no weight ......ok then we should all be appluading Atkins ZERO tackle count as a great performance, as tacklings not required

Oops ......were people unhappy that Essendon kicked the last 3 goals ........but why KE if we didn't need to pressure or tackle because Essendon are a bad team

Maybe the criticism should be aimed more at players who didn't put in as hard against the worse team, potentially costing % and top 4 spot ......and maybe the tackle count is reflective of players who did put in against the worse side

No you you've had the practice.

Mackay missed two easy goals then gave one off directly in front to Sloane who missed, he doesn't have the killer instinct. Hampton will take his spot once match fit and he'll be banished forever. Seedsman nailed two goals from outside 50.
We didn't waste two second rounders on Hampton and Seedsman for nothing, these two players were traded in directly for VB and MacKay.
