The David Mackay thread

[WetCrow1991]

He'll be last man standing. With all the talk of letting Talia, Crouch and Lynch go and who knows what's happening with Tex, Mackay will most likely get another 1-year contract.

Because we apparently need his experience around the club, and this makes up for his bad footy, but if his experience was so valuable wouldn't we be a much better club than we have become?

his experience is dogdshit.

hes a cancer on the list.

he costs us games time and time again.

its one of the great mysteries as to why he continues to get picked.. but I get the feeling Roo is the main one involved in it all.

ROO CAN ****IN GO TOO.

If I had to guess it would just be classic South Australia boys club favouring the incumbent, slow to change, conservative and half arsed.

Is it any wonder when we have the whos who of the state as our board. Of course they love engaging the old hand brake.

Looking forward to his final game in 2032.

Im sure he will return for 2033

 

[Deaneus!]

previous correct answer was 10

in his 14 seasons, he’s only managed 20 or more games 4 times, I was surprised

One of life’s great mysteries why he keeps getting picked.

Coachs pet.

The only thing the coaches will remember about his game is the cracking left foot goal

I know we joke about stuff like this but seriously what’s the go.

Anyone see the one where he took the divet. Didn't fill up the divet with sand. Someone should have a word to him about that. Bloody poor form.

Your favourite Dmac showdown moment please:

A. Running in to an open goal he stubs his toe in the turf and doesn't make the distance.
B. Gets the ball on the wing and loops a hospital handball inboard to a group of about 8 players in the miracle hope of a stat padding give and get.
C. Streaming out of the backline takes two bounces and ignoring all leads bizarrely kicks it straight into the sole oncoming opponent.
D. Please add yours. There will be more but these are the ones that are burnt into my memory.

I know this year the coaches group believe that there is a certain level of experience that they must have on the ground to support the young players

To me I understand the concept of having experience on the ground to bring these young players through, however the theory becomes flawed when the experience becomes a liability, rather than a contribution

How DMac has survived so many coaches is just a mystery

The Mackay divet was up there with the NT where he fell over in the goal square and the Melb player kicked the goal.

If our David hadn't been grabbed as he kicked for goal 1:40 to go, we'd be Showdown 50 winners.

Not so. He did a nice side step about 4 years ago. A thing of beauty it was.

He is atill living off that Hawks game in 2017 at the G!

Option C was freaking hilarious.
I was calling it at the time "Which opposition tall is he going to pick out with this booming kick", but he just kept on, not pulling the trigger. Then Bang! Picked out the guy who probably had no idea he would ever be in that play. I was rolling on the floor giggling like a child.

One of my top 5 Dmacisms of the year I must say.

After A there was another clear run at goal, bit of an angle so went the check side and went for a behind straight through the middle between the goal and point posts on the near side.

Played well. After all this time we may have found Dave's place--tagging the oppo half-back playmaker. Just in time for retirement.

Yep, every time I see David Mackay fail to stick a tackle I've had the thought: Surely he'd be a brilliant tagger.

 

[FR0GGY]

This is the general feeling towards him on Facebook, and this was on a goal of the year nomination post.
