Preview The 2022 Pre Season Training Official Thread

[hey shorty]

I’m so tired of the DMac bashing. He’s not even playing anymore. Leave the guy alone.

Some people have addictions

We know we've been told very often how professional he was in his preparation and great at training. But reality is that we get told that about most players. We get told when players haven't been as professional as required and we get told how great they are. When was the last time you heard someone described as just average at preparation and professionalism. My best guess would be that Dmac's level of preparation has become an urban myth that was necessary to provide some reasoning as to how he could continue to be selected whilst being so blatantly an ineffectual player despite having all the experience required to be in our top dozen players.

My god. It has become an absolute obsession with you to discredit Mackay for everything on every single thread. Its irrational at this point.

Whilst I don't agree with the constant attacks on his footballing ability I, to a degree, understand them.

Are you really questioning his professionalism, preparation and training? The dude played 248 games of AFL football over 14 seasons for 7 different coaches and 3 CEO's.

You are on the record lambasting his football ability and detailing why he shouldn't be best 22.

Did Mackay do something to your family? Did he refuse to sign an autograph for a grandchild of yours?

Bargain of the draft. Can't believe we got him.

Wing?
Seedsman
Dawson
Sholl
Hamill

Do we need him on the wing?

Paul Seedsman is 29, Hamill is a boisterous sneeze away from a premature end to his career (and hasn't made it yet given his disposal issues)

Yup, looks a class pick at this point.

It'd be handy as a pinch hit at the moment to go with being on the half forward flank.

Heck you wouldn't pick Hamill over Cook at this point in time if you were looking for a 4th wing.

You guessed wrong sorry. Mackay one the most diligent and professional athletes to go through the AFL system in the last 20 years.

nah, you can’t say that as there’s very little cross referencing. That’s a completely stupid claim to make. Ridiculously absurd.

I remember you called him playing wing a while back. Looks like it was good call.

 

[1970crow]

Surprised we didn't keep Mad Dog Mackay around as like a Development coach/player/Captain for the SANFL Crows side - similar to what Matty Wright did.

we tried to keep him on our AFL list, he turned us down. I would imagine we tried to do exactly the above. He is a highly impressive speaker. If he's serious about coaching, getting out of the club he's spent his entire career at is the best move.

i didn't bring him up. And my comment wasn't just about him, it's also about how everything is reported in the industry when club employees are used as the source.

Okay

Seedsman is struggling with concussion, got a hit to the head per Christmas and still isn't right, a little concerning

Dunno what that actually means though.

Holding the ball will be the same but more holding called? Guess that can only be good, right now there's still value in tackling, but not to try to get the HTB decision. It's rarely, if ever paid.

they need to start paying incorrect disposal more than anything.. players just let go of the ball as soon as they feel a tackle about to be applied these days and most of the time the umps let it go as if its just a case of the ball being knocked out in the tackle..

Its a joke.

"We are looking forward to 2022 being a year of consolidation and, as such, want to reinforce there would be no material rule changes introduced for men’s competitions this season," Dillon wrote to clubs on Monday.
