Played a ripper, I remember talking him up after that game to my non Crows mates, oh what a disappointment he’s been.2009 semi final
I don't know that I'd call it widely reported. It was reported once and we've been just running with $400k since then.
Say g'day to the widow
Didn’t DMac win a yellow jacket early on. Surely there was a Bog in that year.Has he even actually won a BOG yet?.. I think it was meantioned last year during a game that he hasn’t till that point..
Edit: fixed it so it makes sense.. bloody predictive text!..

Vaguely remember him under craigy looking polished on the wing. Thought he was good player lol
Probably was off my meds or something

Has the game changed so he’s less effective nowadays?

Nah, he looked a superb prospect early days, a lot to be excited about.
What? As if he’s ever been close.Didn’t DMac win a yellow jacket early on. Surely there was a Bog in that year.

Must be DougyNope. Hasn't been closed. You're probably thinking of Douglas or Vince.
That's some very poor risk management. Also, why would you want to get rid of Douglas when he's comfortably outperforming all of the players that could possibly take his spot?
Oh... So he is out of contract?If this was posted last year i would've said i don't care if he goes in a heart beat
but
I like the footy he's playing at the moment and we can't afford to replace another player so soon again our depth will wear thin eventually

Rat is reminding me of early DMack tbh.
Lots of early promise that never really developed, softness (though Mackay has gotten rid of the softness the past few years finally) etc.
Rat has probably had more 25 touch games than Mackay has had in his career, kicked more goals and been twice the player Mackay has been even if the Rat goes into hiding in tough games.

Yeah, but it could have been that he had a back-ended contract. We just don't know.He was listed as RFA prior to re-signing, therefore he was in top 10-11 paid players. He was our sole outside player, still considered to provide elite run and carry with an elite kick. There was rumour a couple of Melbourne clubs were keen on him, but he signed early with us thumbing his nose at RFA offers. Which of those factors suggest pay cut? Remembering he was in top 25% of paid players in his last year.
I disagree that Greenwood and CEY are fighting for the same spot as Douglas. They are both inside midfielders. Douglas can play inside, but it generally more of a linking midfielder that can go forward and kick goals.I'd actually say both Greenwood and CEY, the guys fighting for his spot, are comfortably out performing him.
Douglas has had 1 standout game, a few acceptable and mostly s**t.

Mackay has 1 career Brownlow vote which he got in 2015 which was that super wet game against Melbourne where he got 23 disposals and 13 tackles.If you have more time than me, would love to see some other totals;
Top 15 B&F finishes
Any Brownlow votes

I suspect the only stat he clicks over is games played.
Been watching/playing/ official in footy for 40 years. David MacKay will be the unresolved mystery that will haunt my remaining years.
I simply can't point to any form of empirical measuring that gets him to almost 200 AFL games across 5 different coaches.
He's my Bermuda Triangle, my White Whale. There's some way he's made a career but I know now that I will never work out how it's happened.
Need to let it go
Yeah.
We'll never get rid of Mackay. Reckon he's the sort of player that will play until he's 37 too
Happy for Dougie, Dmac and Otto all to move on.
Solid servants but it feels like we will never go all the way with these guys as our senior veterans to call on in the heat of battle
