He's Back!!!!

[1970crow]

As maligned as he is he was actually having quite a good season. We're not completely shot so far as finals goes and offers more in regards to two way running and kicking ability than Kelly does on a wing.

By his and his fans very low standard, agreed, it was quite good. Probably good enough for 25th in the b&f, which would be about 80% of his seasons.

“D-Mac gives us a little bit of flexibility,” Clarke said.

“He’s obviously played wing, he’s played half back throughout the course of the year. He’s missed a couple of weeks with the injury but his training form’s really solid and he’s always in great condition so we’re confident he’ll be able to step straight in and perform a role.”

clarke doesn't sound convinced. "little bit" and "training form". if campo did the interview we would've heard "train the house down" and "run and carry".

Didn't even mention his experience. That's another string to his bow

At this point it's just funny

No it isn't

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?

Or what he adds to our continuity by pushing out someone who has been playing the last few weeks.

So with Seedsman out and everyone agreeing Kelly isn't suited to being a wingman, who else do we bring in?

Inanimate Rod has put up some good numbers...

Somebody who isn't a known quantity.

Greg Anderson

Somebody who isn't a known quantity.

And who is that? Wilson isn't a winger, Poholke, Signorello and Gibson aren't either.

Wilson, Gibson, Jarman, Dear, Himmelberg, Edwards, Jarman, Camporeale...I'd prefer any of these on the wing

Ok, then they are half backs. That's the value in DMac being really flexible. He can be replaced by someone in any position

To be fair whenever DMac kicks a goal we generally win the game.

We've made the Grand Final in every year in which Dmac has had a 3 goal game.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

He has big game experience.

Predictable consistent conservative selection

I thought we ended that culture when we traded Gibbs

Since DMac made his debut, the AFC have a record of 118 wins, 1 draw and 79 losses in games that he has played. In games he has missed in that time, the record is 7 wins and 14 losses.

yes. His presence in the team forces everyone else to play better.

That number isn't accurate. He's missed 52 games since debut, not 21

Might put a tenner on him for the Showdown medal.

The actual record without Mackay is:

No Mackay: 22 wins, 30 losses (42.3%)
Overall: 140 wins, 109 losses, 1 draw (56.0%)

And excluding the Neil Craig era the record is:

No Mackay: 14 wins, 10 losses (58.3%)
Overall: 96 wins, 1 draw, 62 losses (60.4%)

In years we made finals since Neil Craig:

No Mackay: 9 wins, 4 losses (69.2%)
Overall: 66 wins, 1 draw, 30 losses (68.0%)

So since Neil Craig got sacked we have a slightly higher winning record without Mackay than we did overall in those periods
