Mackie: Cats business unfinished still

JOSH Hunt and Andrew Mackie last night paid glowing tribute to their teammates after being inducted into Geelong's Hall of Fame.

The star pair joined some of Geelong's all-time greats when they were unveiled as the club's latest inductees at the Cats' season launch at Crown.

Both spoke of their honour to have played for the Cats during the most dominant era in the club's history - but declared there was still unfinished business.

The premiership players said they would be nothing without the teammates they played alongside each week, as well as the hard work of the club's coaches, both past and present.

"It's a huge honour. We've been blessed to be part of a great club," Hunt said.

"We've got so many people to thank for getting us to where we are today . . . it's been a lot of hard work by a lot of people who are still at the club and who have moved on.

"We don't forget those people and the amount of work they've put into us.

"It's just another feather in the cap that you can look back on at the end of your career and think you've been pretty lucky to be part of that.

"I'm pretty sure I've ridden on the coattails of a few people to get to here and I thank them for that.

"It's very exciting and one of those things you'll cherish forever."

Players need to play 200 games (across AFL and NAB Cup) to satisfy the club's Hall of Fame selection criteria.
Players can also be inducted if they meet five of 14 other areas of criteria that relate to other achievements over their career.

But Mackie declared there was plenty of unfinished business as the Cats embark on another premiership tilt this season.

"We're very lucky that we got the opportunity to come to the Geelong Football Club for a start, and then obviously to be part of a very good era," Mackie said.

"It's very special for us and something that we'll look back on when we're older.

"While you're still playing, you have ambitions and focuses. As we talk now we're a week away from a Round 1 game and that's where the focus is.

"We're trying to make history again and achieve more goals . . . we're trying to achieve something in 2013.
"It's very important to point out that all of our teammates are why we're here.

"As I said, we've been part of a really good period for the club and it's to do with some really good people around the footy club and some really talented players."
