Mackie Lacks Hunger

[_Me_]

Comments have been made by Mackie that he has been over it all year, lacks the hunger, and his body is hurting. He is sounding like a sook, and unless his attitude changes he will not play again this year. It i also believed that he is pissed that he signed a 4 year deal, and would like to go to the gc. Not good, he seems like success has gone to his head, and he is not committed to the cause.

Proof???? Come on, you can't attack someone character without some grounds.....He isn't the only one who has struggled with motivation this year!

Where did you hear these things?

 

[alfy!]

Disgusting thread, will be deleted shortly I'm sure.

Actually quite a few players have said his attitude to being dropped has been fantastic.

i have heard it from 2 sources
one being an opposition player, after a game who was bewildered with him

you can delete it i don't care, that does not change reality

and as for blake, i think many people are vindicated by the lack of anything, when they were expecting a transformation, we lost the mummy because of this blind faith

mackie was dropped because of his poor attitude amongst other things, and his mates will publicly support him

not sure what is going on geelong at the moment, with some posters happy to give back a premiership to keep ablett

The captain seems to disagree with you:

"I don't know whether he (Mackie) will get a recall. I know his attitude has been fantastic since he was told by Bomber he was dropped," Ling said.

"He took it on the chin. He jumped straight back into his training.

"He has been involved with everything as far as preparing for games as though he's going to play.

"If he does get a game, I think he'll play some really good footy."

No, because you come out with a clearly inflammatory post and thread, without any talk of sources or proof. The stuff you have said goes against anything the players and coach have said lately. It is just BS stuff, and this forum doesn't need any more of it.

Expect this from the main board, or Bay 13, but not here.

Errr is TMA back on here? Forrest?

Hello TheMightyAchilles

 

[alfy!]

I'm not sure what you mean, what did Mackie tell the opposition player? That he is sore, has a bad attitude, doesn't have the hunger or he won't play again this year? At least make your points clear in your own thread.

i have 2 reports from 2 different players

one opposition player he told
- he was sore, and pretty much over it
- was not too concerned about winning
- and he was struggling to be motivated for games

ie he did not give a shite

opposition player was astounded, as they were not mates, and did not expect such a reaction

 

[alfy!]

I find that incredibly hard to believe. But okay, you are entitled to your opinion, whatever. Just how you have communicated has been horrible and looks like bait for a troll.

... and then the opposition player rang Bomber and told him, and Bomber dropped Mackie because of it?

Of course. How feasible.

 

[The Governor]

Apart from Brad Ottens, Gary Ablett Junior, James Bartel, Joel Selwood, Cameron Ling, Paul Chapman and Matthew Scarlett, most of the Geelong players lack the hunger for premiership greatness.

Wo wants to play the Saints in next week's Grand Final?

So, I think all of us will have to be prepared for the worse and bring along tissue boxes to the MCG for Gary Ablett's last appearance in the blue and white hoops!!

From first appearances I would have thought Mackie was continuously hungry.

Kelly? Enright? Varcoe? Podsiadly? Mooney? Johnson?

All of those guys have had some type of positive impact on our two finals so far. One of them hasn't even played in a prelim before, yet alone a grand final/premiership.

Unless you know each of the 22 guys that lined up against St Kilda and Fremantle personally, you have no idea what their motivation levels are like.

I hope you come back and post here if we win on Friday night.

sherlock if that is what he is communicating to others
there must be some bad signs internally

anyways, i apologise for relaying informartion, and this is not a troll,

It's not blind passion. It's cynicism that a footballer would tell another footballer - who you claim he doesn't know very well - all this type of information, and then the second footballer tells you and you decide to post it online. Will you name who your 'friend' is, since you're so willing to name Andrew Mackie?

You're also expecting us to believe your word, bearing your history posting under another username, over that of a number of GFC figures including the coach and senior players -- all of whom have said Mackie's worked exceptionally hard and had a positive attitude since being dropped.

Surely even you can see why people would consider your OP a troll.

These seem to be unsubstantiated claims. Enough thanks TheMightyAchilles.
