Mega Thread #14 David Mackay - 14 possessions again

[rezagun]

As you all know I've been extremely critical of David Mackay, especially in the last few seasons.

Tonight he showed the quality that is hiding within. Elite disposal, especially by foot (95% DE!), with good run and carry. Contributed around the stoppages with a couple of clearances. Tackled well and applied pressure. No kicking long to the contest and no horrible clangers.

I literally thought he was incapable of such a performance given his past finals. But he stood up to be one of our best tonight. Kudos Mackay!

He was very good tonight. Best game of his career. I never thought id say that. Humble pie is delicious.

Finally

Yep was good tonight, when you're given that many chances it's not hard, hopefully he keeps it up, he's damaging when he's at his best.

Finals specialist

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Yep, brilliant game. Can't believe I'm saying it.

 

[macca23]

Great game tonight.

He has to make that his standard now.

 

[Glenno23]

His best game in how many years?

Who else enjoyed his mini speccy?

 

[the universal]

He was definitely good. Still a bit uncertain as to whether he'd back it up next week though, and there's still every possibility he will return to invisibility.

He was obviously picked for the capability to play that sort of game. But he has had an awful lot of chances. Probably was close to being dropped for Henderson. Maybe he got the rocket of a lifetime after the WCE game with a do or die last chance ultimatum and like a legend he came through with the goods. But was awesome to watch.

I want a gif of that spekky.

Wat? He was easily our best player in the collingwood final at teh MCG (the 'right in front of me' game)

Yeah but that was seven years ago

Where are all the

So I thought he was a tad cautious early in the piece. Took the safe option.....which was not a bad thing.....but I thought he was a tad worried about taking the game on. As the game unfolded his confidence seemed to grow. He did bloody well. Well done David, well done!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Credit there

Played like a senior player tonight

 

[Geoffa32]

Happy for this thread thought he played well.

Was absolutely fantastic.

Can we keep this Mackay, and discard the one that appears for most of the season?

 

[Roo Lives Again]

There's only one direction he can go in now....sorry but one game doesn't change who he is

 

[Godallblighty]

He was excellent. Actually damaging with his disposals and even took a contested mark. Deserves credit but needs to back it up.

Not at all, but he's earned the praise he gets now.

Hopefully the next 3 games are at that level.

When's your chance going to happen?

Trade value is at an all time high now.

Took a good leaping grab with his hands and not his face in the last. Played well.
