Mega Thread #14 David Mackay - 14 possessions again

[turbo182]

Who should we have played instead? I can't help but think hes a like for like (known quantity) for seedsman next weeks.

Galluci underdone, McHenry perhaps not as flexible/an unknown, and after that its hard to see who replaces Seed.

 

[AFC979810]

Nope.

There is a general consensus among all people - not just supporters on the internet, but fans at our games, opposition fans, analysts - that Mackay is not good. There are countless available facts and statistics showing his lack of achievements, poor statistical rankings for his position, low output, lack of good games, etc.

The coaches who select him are that 3% of scientists that disagree on climate change. They use their position of power combined with bad facts to enact poor policies, much like politicians in some countries

Okay Jenna Jameson.

Not with the continued use of Mackay at the expense of other players:

Which player has honestly been denied a fair crack at our side because of David Mackay?

Just curious...you’re not David are you?

 

[AFC979810]

Wait what he was dropped twice in 2017, AFC979810 were you aware of this?

Can you name me another senior player that was dropped twice in 17

So how many years in the last 5 has he been dropped? I reckon 4, with 18 being a shocking years for injuries saving him.

Quality player you are clinging too here.

Jesus. I concede.

Me and the 6 coaches are wrong. Scrap his 202 games for this footy club.

David Mackay has never been best 22. Despite the fact he has been best 22 for the past 10 years - he has never been best 22.

I wish.

David Mackay has never been best 22. Despite the fact he has been best 22 for the past 10 years - he has never been best 22.

When you are in denial it’s easy to miss the point, he’s “sneaked” his way to 200 games due to injuries and lack of depth.

That doesn’t mean he’s a good 200 game player, it means he’s been bloody lucky.

As for the coaches real opinion of Mackay? I refer to their rating of his performances via B&F voting where he consistently has voted poorly and the fact they like to drop him.

He’s a sneaky bugger that Mackay.

Stick to your guns ....the facts are the facts

People use Statistics when it suits an argument .....but not when it contradicts certain well entrenched opinions

I would say 80% of this board would have a realistic view of Mackay's current situation ......the club gave him a 1 year contract ....it recruited / traded for a host of running players

But to suggest any club chooses a player, who they feel is the best option for the team structure & style .......is simply naive

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Which player has honestly been denied a fair crack at our side because of David Mackay?

Milera played how many games in his first year

Doedee didn't for 2 years .....did that hurt him .....hell no

Fog plays first up

Jones is playing first up ......Murphy gets a shot, based on JLT form

So yes, who has ever suffered due to Mackay ......and here's a FACT ...Cream ALWAYS rises to the top

 

[Elite Crow]

The team has suffered by Mackay playing.

And AFC979810 please stick to your guns and relying on statistics, 200 plus games is a stat, I’ll rely on discussing the poor quality of those games by using my eyes not stats .......

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I'm still picking myself up. How has he made the 22 or even emergencies. No pre-season form.

 

[FR0GGY]

Exactly. People seem to forget that none of Fog, Greenwood, Gallucci or CEY play that position. His is indeed a lucky bastard. Somebody check his locker and make sure he doesn't have any little Brown/Seeds voodoo dolls hanging around!

Dmac shouldn’t play that position either, what we do have though is players in the side that can play that role and we could shuffle the side.

 

[FAITH]

Who does this remind you of?

 

[Vhaluus]

Dmac shouldn’t play that position either, what we do have though is players in the side that can play that role and we could shuffle the side.

Given how much we shuffle the side to find a postion for DMac you think we could shuffle it to avoid him.

 

[FR0GGY]

I like how Rowey said “dmac is our second best lock down defender” tonight.
Bicks “I don’t consider him a lock down defender”

Lock down defender, rebounding defender, winger, half forward.

Being as flexible as he is, such an asset.

But by the time the cream has risen to the top the milk/team has already gone off.

Name a player thats suffered or been held back ......Who's left the club and done better elsewhere

 

[FR0GGY]

Gunston

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Gunston

That left due to lack of opportunities .....Gunston, NO

Feel free to put another entry into the box

He played how long at centrals?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He played how long at centrals?

1 year .....how many games did Doedee play at SANFL

Lack of opportunities was not the reason for leaving ...... $$$$ and his Girlfriend were

Pretty sure gunston had 2 years.

 

[Golumless]

My recollection is the Demons showed a fair amount of interest in Mookay at one point several years ago?

Yup, in 2013 which made us panic into signing Mackay for 4 seasons.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Well 14 AFL games over 2 years isn't being held back
