Brownlow Votes: -

The once lightly-built wingman bulked up over the 2012 pre-season and improved his durability as a result. Mackay played 23 of a possible 25 games, averaging 17 possessions and four tackles. The line-breaking Crow started the year in the midfield, but was soon switched to defence where he was able to add much-needed offensive run and carry. Signed a three-year deal late in the season.

Season by Season

Season by Season

Mackay suffered a shoulder injury in the Crows’ season-opener against Hawthorn and didn’t return to the side until round 15. Despite playing just eight games for the season, Mackay impressed with his run and carry and ability to break the lines, posting the second-highest percentage of inside50ms that led to a goal at the Club. He also ran hard defensively, averaging the second-most pressure acts. The 23-year-old collected a season-high 28 disposals against Gold Coast in round 22 and averaged 16 disposals and three inside50ms a game.
