Not a rumour of us trying to recruit him (thank God)
I saw the footage of him shoving a person in the crowd after they lost to GC. I am wondering if there was any action taken by the league about that? It looked bad in my opinion and there has been precedent in other comps around the world to fine and/or suspend.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it would have been helpful had he not played against us last round.
If you're concerned about the actual incident fair enough.
If we a post game attempting to find players that possibly should have been suspended that we might not have lost, I don't know where we're at. Isn't the, "if Jobe had played" platitude a bit easier?

Not much to it. The GC supporter was giving Caddy ■■■■■ and Mackie pushed him away in defence and said a couple of words to him.
One of the luckiest players ever to play in 3 flags. Would love to see him mouth off, and someone just snap him in half. Such a douchebag.
Doesn't happen anymore, not even at local level
As recently as 05-06 in the suburbs if you had a mouth you better have game cos you were going to get clobbered every week
Not much love for Mackie here. I've always rated him. Not that I want him at this stage of his career, but he does read the play beautifully. Didn't know he was such a mouth.
Mackie is one of my favourite non essendon players, and anyone who doesn't rate him as a footballer is clueless, he's a very goos rebounding defender
As for the incident, nothing in it.
He may be good at rebounding but he is rubbish in terms of actual defending one on one

No he's not. He continually beats guys much bigger than him. The bath he gave Gumby last year was embarrassing.
The guy is an absolute flog, but Fletcher aside, he's the best medium defender in the game.
Edit: he's beaten Buddy a few times too.

Really? I watch a lot of geelong games, as I like the cats. Regularly beats blokes who are taller than him 1 on 1

When their other talls are injured steps up and beats tru key forwards with ease.
Cannot believe people question his defensive side.
As dumb as people bagging fletch for never playing on big talls in his career.
