Sam did mention he's a very level headed kid but wow I think I have a bigger reaction when I find 2 bucks on the ground

It’s almost as if they set the whole thing up and he already knew a fair while ago

 

[The hands of stone]

 

[Coach Killer]

This kid is off the top shelf, A-grade class.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He's really filling out too. I think he'll be the jewel of our midfield soon enough.

M10?

M10?

I love how 30 of his mates had a better Draft Night than he did!

Damn straight he would have been as nervous as hell

 

[Wingnut19]

God he looks good. Great pick.

 

[Billyc]

Quality debut. Seemed to have time and made great decisions and executed skills well. Great start

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

A very impressive debut today from Mackenzie. His skill level and decision-making are elite. He adds a little bit of French sophistication to our team. However, it is clear that it will take time to build up his tank, similar to what happened to Callum Mills

Very happy with Cam's debut, he looks the goods.

Yep. I see Callum Mills in him. Great pick up.

Had time where others wouldn't.

He stopped, assessed his options, stepped only if needed, and delivered with finesse.

Reminiscent of Sam Mitchell in the way his mind was quick, head on a swivel, but he wasn't moving unless absolutely necessary.

I read one of his draft interviews when he said he had worked hard on his acceleration. He doesn't appear to me to have much in the way of pace, but is more physically gifted than Mitchell, I hope he works as hard and smart.

Looks a winner.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

His vision is remarkable. He doesn’t just give it to someone a metre away, he opens play up and/or buys time for a teammate. I would go as far as to say he is the smartest footballer on our list.

Ran a 2.91 second 20m at the start of last year. He’s no slouch.

Sub 3 seconds over 20 so he has some toe.

 

[SammyC]

I am 100% certain this guy is an A grade afl mid. With improvement and 100 games he could be anything. Hopefully a premiership captain.

 

[Gut Runner]

Awesome debut

Extremely quick of mind

 

[Judd2Sewell]

So clean, skilled and is an excellent decision maker.

New game plan - give the ball to Mackenzie at all costs. If he can't be given the ball to dispose then the player with it has to ask him what to do with it, and he'll make the right decision for them.

We need more like him I thought Ward was going to be another but doesn’t have the same composure.

 

[SA HAWK]

Very impressive debut.

Clean with the ball and good decision maker.

already will be in our best every week, just make sure we support him
