Mackay's first season was one to forget. 2007 started promisingly with a superb performance in the SANFL reserves seeing him rewarded with senior SANFL selection, where he again impressed. However, early in his second match he tore his hamstring, an injury that recurred throughout the year and prevented him from playing another game. Mackay made his debut for Adelaide during round one of the 2008 Premiership season in their loss to the Western Bulldogs. His first goal in AFL football came in his thirteenth match, in round 17 against the Sydney Swans, with a snap from the top of the goalsquare. Despite being a first-year player, Mackay became known as one of the most reliable players in the team, slotting nicely into the Crows' young midfield. After missing only four games in each of his two debut seasons, Mackay has become a vital part of the Crows young midfield, along with Bernie Vince, Patrick Dangerfield and Nathan van Berlo. |
