Crow Mackay blocks out whipping boy status

Adelaide utility David Mackay has learnt to live with being a whipping boy for fans of his own AFL club.

Adelaide midfielder David Mackay knows he's one of them: an AFL whipping boy.

Mackay has come to terms with being the type of player who cops criticism from his own club's fans no matter his feats.

"It's difficult at times but it's one of those things you learn with experience as time goes on that you can't take on too much of the negativity," Mackay told reporters on Wednesday.
