I don't know about you, but we'd get more of that if we bring Brodie Martin back.

Imagine before the game grand final day and looking over and seeing Mad Dog Mackay in the warm up. "yep, we got this".
Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and trying to get clever will the AFC ever just look at the player profile and methods of successful clubs.
The funniest thing I ever heard a Coach say was Nathan Bassett in his first season at Norwood after a really soft effort from one of the players
"I feel really sorry for the other 20 guys who have to play alongside you each week and watch you let them down time and time again'.
The player who I won't name got dropped and didn't play again.

‘Mad Dog Mackay’ could catch on
Was their a Mackay in the Ned Kelly gang. It just seems to fit somehow.

He was a horse thief from memory (among other pastimes), so probably not

Selected again. Look I'm happy to bump this thread every single week.
Averaging 14.8 possessions per game last 5 games. 1 goal all year.
What exactly is he bringing? Nothing. Dump this hack, my goodness.

HOW IS DAVID MACKAY GOING TO PLAY 200 AFL GAMES???4 games to his 200th, are you excited!? Because I sure am!
At no other club would this happen.
Sums us up perfectly sadly.

Every time he is selected it's another nail in Pykes coffin. He hasn't made one single statement to the playing group despite the abysmal last 3 weeks.
Dead Man walking.
Mackay will get 300 and Pyke will be kept on until Goodwin becomes available.

D Mac: "Yeah baby! I dodged another selection bullet. Come at me haters."
I strongly suspect we'll continue to see him listed in the team after he's left the club, just out of force of habit. Given the impact he normally has on games, it may take a while until the coaches realise he's gone.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
I'm sorry, but no, who the hell is left? project players who are nowhere near ready (with Wilson in the lineup, Signorello is the closest which says a lot about how far the depth chart we've gone) and players who are truly dead men walking (and really, you don't waste time with certain delistees unless you have no other option). Your "statement" is just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. It ain't going to do shit, as this has nothing to do with players not giving a ****/feeling safe or any other cultural issue on that side. Select Mackay, or don't select Mackay we're still going to lose by 6-8 goals and struggle to put even the remotest pressure on an opposition side.
The damage has well and truly been done by injuries, a cult camp, and one of the most poorly ran preseasons in memory. All that can be done is just copping our whack; hoping we are smart enough to realise we've ****ed up this offseason, and taking the necessary steps to fix it. I have my doubts after Chapmans response.
I say that being in a position that I am genuinely whinging that in this injury crisis, it's avoided teflon Mackay.

Gee, how about the guy in the sanfl who is averaging 30 touches and about 10 tackles each week.
Even if Hampton sprays half of them, at least that's 15 kicks going to our team rather than DMacs 5...plus he can tackle
