KMac doesn’t seem the type to coast. He’s a 100% kind of player.So I've been advocating keeping him, so pleased for this. Good club man and a great trainer apparently. I had no idea he was that far away from 200....
That said, to play nearly half the season...I'm hoping it is as a sub.
We need this fella to be bypassed by the younger brigade. Banks, HRS, Ross (if he stays on a wing). I want him to battle to.200, not coast to that target. If he's coasting, it means the others haven't stood up - and that's not a good sign for the club.
I agree. He played 22 games this season. Plenty of kids on the list. Plenty of other players got their “testimonial”year. He’s been a fine warrior. One more season, then hand the baton over.
10 games to go for Macca. If he gets to 200 games, does that make him a afl life member? With free tickets and passes? Give it to him, get whatever we can from those pricks after all the $millions we’ve paid in fines.
Hopefully the philosophy around the use of the sub has shifted. It wasn’t fun seeing a youngster sitting on the bench until with 10 mins to go in the last when the result was decided.He's actually the perfect sub option for us. Experienced and willing to play any position we need, if he's the sub, it means our youngsters don't need to take the vest and get more game time either in the AFL or VFL team. Wins all round
We can’t just field a team of kids. Unless you want to end up like North. Not to mention the off field guidance they need.Really? Good grief.

For minimal chips it ain’t the end of the world.
11th in the B&F hardly woeful.We ain’t North. There’s enough leadership. And his own field output was woeful this year, no role, so why keep him?
Go get a 22-24 year old VFL star, try and unearth a Lambert.
If a kid can't get a game ahead of Mac, the kid's probably better off playing reserves.In the end it doesn't matter too much whether he goes or stays. He'd be good for training standards but if he's getting a game a kid is not playing.
Dow on the other hand shouldn't be on the list.

Was sub how many times? In a side that is the worst in the comp by a long way with major injuries, 11th this isn’t the flex you think it is.11th in the B&F hardly woeful.
Legend.
When all the kids have broken down, screws rattling out of joint, Kmac well continue to patrol the wing like the terminator.
And he can Mr fixit, forward or back.
Personally, I reckon he could kick 20+ goals as a permanent half forward, the hardest and most thankless position to play in our side. He would take the hit, professionally and without complaint, over one of the kids.
