Poor DMac..gets cracked ribs, comes back and fans give him a bagging

How about putting a positive spin on this thread: who should we have chosen instead of DMac?

That answer is literally anyone (even me). There is no point whatsoever to this Mackay selection unless of course we're trying to convince the AFL to give us slightly more compo, by a miracle of another club being as stupid as we are.

looking forward to another 11 disposals from the potato like the previous showdown.

This was a chance to blood a new player in. Have a look how Geelong keep bringing in players even just to see if they make the cut.

This inanimate carbon rod.

I'm sure you know the answer.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Hard to see how my point could be any more obvious. Literally

 

[Brown_DOG68]

Nup. Still cant see it.
Any chance you can explain it for those of those of us that clearly not in your realm of intellectual capacity.

That was an absolutely putrid game from Mackay.

you act like you are surprised

I actually thought Mackay was pretty good for a bloke coming back from cracked ribs. He certainly put his body on the line on several occasions, and did some neat kicks in forward entries.

if he is still suffering don't play him or play him in the rezzies. 16 disposals tonight. a couple of neat passes but the rest were rubbish handballs to players getting tackled or kicks up the line.

I don't disagree there were a few rubbish handballs to soon-to-be-tackled players. My point was that he was serviceable without being pathetic. If the aim is to try and win the remaining games for the minor rounds, we can't afford to try young players who are likely more inconsistent than Mackay. Having Douglas and Seeds back from injury would be interesting to see if Mackay will get to keep his spot.

 

[thebirdman 24]

one of his best moments was when he was charging at the ball and saw eddie coming and stood well out of the way while eddie collected the ball and goaled. he knew if he picked it up he would of butchered it.

If you weren't sure why Mackay gets selected... well you shouldn't wonder any more

I would be surprised if he got a contract at another club. Who'd want a 30+ year old that turns to complete shit in finals intensity. That leaves shit clubs looking for experience and support for their youth. Well, Hodge, Lewis et al, he is not. We'll give him a 1 year extension out of pity because we don't want to see a 200 gamer finish that way. Same as we did with Thommo, but far less deserved.

Bang on the money.
