The David Mackay thread

https://www.afc.com.au/news/2019-09-27/new-deals-for-mackay-and-strachan “David had one of his best seasons and his attitude, preparation and training standards are always first class,” Reid said. “We see him making a valuable contribution both on and off the field next year.”

My son is recovering from a collarbone repair surgery after being cleaned up in a tackle in a local 3rd grade match.

Making Caleb Daniel look tall, he's thinking that probably Aussie Rules isn't the sport for him now, especially playing against 3rd graders many of whom are carrying a few extra kilos.

I do note, of course, that this is a choice of recreational footy, not professional footy. However, at any level this is a risky game. Most games are. Sport (especially at a professional level) by the very definition (competitive physical activity) is pushing the human body to its limits. When you do that, sometimes you go past the limits and injuries happen.

Cricket is a non contact sport. Tell Phil Hughes' family that's risk free.

 

[GrommoT]

Why are people saying he jumped off the ground?

Slow-mo of a clip of the collision shows DMac not jumping while running in (he was maybe dropping if anything). It's only after the collision that DMac is propelled upwards - maybe this is why some think he jumped.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

So my controversial take, the AFL are partly to blame for this. Changed the rules in regards to 'bumping' contact that players these days don't know how to prepare for collisions leave themselves wide open so when something like this does happen the injuries end up being worse. Look at the way Clarke goes in expects zero contact and doesn't prepare for it. Mackay has been around before the recent rule changes and does brace for contact.

 

[FR0GGY]

I'm surprised at the number of media experts suggesting David ought be suspended because he attacked the contest too hard.

It just doesn't sound right at all.

I also didn't realise Christian didn't see anything in it,but Hocking did. Surely if this is thrown out, Hockings position is under review.

Surely he shouldn’t even be interfering?

Beats me. I was surprised to read it.

Big Thursday night coming up, and its not even selection night

Thursday night is always Mackay night.

AFL House manipulate everything.

 

[Captain Morgan]

If you read mick Warner’s book, as some have mentioned already, this week will pan out to be as predictable as a porno.

What happens at the end ? I rarely get past the first 45 seconds

Post of the thread!

 

[rocket18]

Going to be a typical Thursday night melt, is MacKay in or out?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Imagine if he got off and we dropped him next week

 

[Deaneus!]

They don't give a flying F***. It's the Crows lets smash them.

Just imagine being a high-level bureaucrat at VFL House, and wanting to implement or even just ask the question about something as F-U-N-D-A-M-E-N-T-A-L as this, and then just dropping it into the bye weekend

Perhaps the most disgraceful thing for footy I’ve ever seen

He must go, this is inexcusable, there must be a radical overhaul of the sport’s governing body

Imagine if he got off and we dropped him next week

For lulz we need Neil Craig to come out with a DVD and proclaim that’s not how we wanna play

 

[WeedsMullet84]

Heading the ball is a serious concern in that game.

Again, as a soccer player this is my biggest area if concern. As a tall Defender i'm fully expected, and have been for the last 20 years, to get my head to the ball first when a keeper kicks the ball out, or from corners. Most games i'd make at least 1-2 dozen headers, and have often come off with headaches after the game. Lots of literature coming out now in regards to early dementia in former soccer players, particularly defenders.

 

[StonesThrow]

I've never actually heard Mackay speak before. Does he have a voice?

Not to mention the elbows flying around when people go up to header the ball

 

[Geoffa32]

Dmack could claim this has caused him undue mental stress.

Like being the medical sub?

From September 2020, but,....... He speaks!

Dunstall absolutely nails it, with Whateley once again trotting out AFL scripted lines.

So if DMac is suspended the ruling/interpretation is essentially against him because he ran into a contest and collided (not high contact) at top speed whilst having his eyes on the ball and in fact win the contest and his team got the clearance.

Ridiculous.


Going forward, if DMac found guilty, a player needs to assess the speed of his opponent upon entering the contest and match (slow down) his opponent's speed to show duty of care.

I can't see him getting off. The media is coming around to it being a suspension.

Bad luck for Dmac as it was a really great contest with an unfortunate outcome for both involved.

With the one big exception...most of us will be barracking for DMac tonight!

The media tends to favor the controversial angle for more clickbait. Doesn’t mean they’re right just because they make more noise.

The sad thing is that the AFL could simply add a new rule this week eg. “show more duty of care”, instead of having to use DMac as an example for punishing someone who is currently not breaking any rules that the AFL can find. It is gutless ownership of the situation by the AFL.
