News Mackay re-signs for 2021 + Gallucci, Poholke, Crocker delisted

You've been pretty erratic the last few weeks, Bicks. This is not a good take.

Not sure how this one is on Nicks at all.

Galluci was showing all the tell-tale signs of being a bust BEFORE his injury. Crocker and Poholke no good either.

Crows have already stated that with the reduction in coaching staff that experienced players would become a commodity in having dual roles, especially in a rebuilding side with so many youngsters coming through.

Mackay is well-liked in the playing group, apparently has elite standards, and had more of a solid year this year than most of our other supposedly 'elite' players.

What kind of message does that send other players? If we want to follow Richmond's example then we need to start building up 'role players'. This builds a message within the club that says 'you might not be the next Dangerfield, but if you play a role, and you bring effort every game then you will be rewarded'

It also sends the message that even if you're a former Pick 15, if you're not willing to put in the effort then it's to your own detriment, and you might be out the door.

Love this decision by the club.
I disagree almost in total with this....Gallucci has shown very serious glimpses there's a quality AFL player in there somewhere....Mookay has shown for his whole career at best he sits on the fringe of best 22 in any decent AFL team.

If accepting mediocrity is your thing fine.

Love that most of his highlights are from when the opposition kick it straight to him. Other that that, they were at footy park!
Love that you watched it

If Mutineer and I ever agree on a topic... it has got to be as close as you can get to a universal truth around here.

This is one of those times.

I figured if it was a David MacKay highlights reel, most of the time would be spent waiting for it to load.
 
The [themighty.com] power-of-positive-thinking [180x153].png answer ...

We'll need to delist 3 players next year so he'll be one of them.

Gooch can be picked up by another (Vic) club now closer to home - we free up a list spot, we might rookie Gooch if he's not picked up, and...

and...

hmmm, doesn't feel right, especially with David taking 1 of their spots.
COVID, reduced lists, not a good story.

Always felt hulk never got a decent go and Gooch was played out of position.
Felt there would be opportunity now but we are going down the draft avenue.

Hope they find their feet.
