One More DMack

[hey shorty]

He shouldn't but he will be. After a telling glimpse into his lack of composure (for a senior player) in the GF and the 1st showdown anyone with a half a brain would rule line through him.

Still reckon he will be the "senior SANFL player" next year.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Rule a line through Pyke ?? This is the overly emotional Mike today obviously.

You're better than that

We needed someone with a force of character and personality to stand up to the AFC culture, status quo and boys club. Pyke has shown he's not that man and has fallen into line beautifully. Do you reckon Clarkson would have settled for Burton and Haas?

 

[Idontpullout]

We wanted Sam Gibson as a first 22 player

No wonder we were shit this year

I'm not sure Pyke settled for them either, I know Don holds a great deal of contempt towards Burton.

At 32yo next year he shouldn't be a lock in our best 22.

Whether he's a lock in our best 22 is going to depend entirely on how he (and the others) are playing.

Didn’t some horse guy say he’s gone at the end of this year ?

Youd think he isn't going to get any better, so if the kids lift their ratings even a little bit then he gets boned

I know he and his wife were looking into it, and will do so at the end of his career

 

[WAG]

His signing is only an issue if Camporeale stays on.

We all knew deep down that this was going to happen....

 

[TRP1996]

This is a travesty.

What we need is 44 more DMacs, then the club will be in good shape.

 

[pjcrows]

As a token of appreciation I'm going to emulate David "He breaks lines" Mackay by jumping the 45 minute queue that I am currently in at Services SA.

 

[Archie87]

The most damning thing about DMac is even the coaches implicitly know he sucks. If he was in any way as good as the likes of Campo says he is then you'd think he'd get a load of BnF votes where role players are rewarded but he doesn't. It makes no sense. They're probably not even self aware of it either.

 

[Shaz2012]

I have no issues with having in him on our list. I see him as great depth. As others have pointed out, the problem is that we will pick him even when he isnt the best option for the team. That is in no possible way David's fault and I don't hold that against him in the slightest. Glad to see that both he and Dougie were only given 1 year extensions too.

Congratulations Dave.

Over the past two years, Mackay ranks 22nd for average B&F votes per game.

No player has played more games than Mackay over that period for a lesser votes per game average.

 

[hippyhippy]

What's the problem, ultimate professional and excellent depth, it's up to the youngsters to force him out of the AFL side with performance.

Hes not depth though... Thats the problem

That is hilarious.

Didn’t a few people on here claim he was looking at other options?

Did we convince him to stay?

Anyway, whatever, AFC have no balls and no desire to be anything more than a cosy little self interest club.

He should be a lock for as long as he keeps performing. Age is irrelevant.

Will believe that when I see it.

Let's also remember that Sam Gibson was selected round 1 and was a late withdrawal.

Remember how long our injury list was in R1?

His last few games have been very ordinary

So is performance.

He's probably knackered from carrying the team (along with Gibbs) for the first half of the season.

If we are serious about bouncing back next year Mackay is a vital player in our push for a premiership. His aggression, physicality, rebound and line breaking ability makes him the perfect footballer for September.

Rule a line through Pyke. He's just another mediocre performer in a long, long line. What a joke this club is.

Someone said a few weeks ago he will get another year for his experience strengthening the reserves. We did the same with Thompson.

If we use our draft picks some talent will be playing in the reserves. He is invaluable as leader for them concerning training ethics and system

He did a piss poor job of carrying us if that's the case. If hes still best 22 after a handful of games next year we are in a world of pain.
