Season in review
After playing the last 10 games of 2013, McKenzie was a fixture in the senior side for the first seven matches of 2014, and looked to be cementing a spot for the long-term.
Spending time on a wing, he was able to hit the scoreboard while also using his elite skills to good use around the ground.
He notched a career-high 25 disposals in the Round 3 victory over Port Adelaide, but was omitted after the Round 7 loss to Gold Coast.
McKenzie only played three more senior games for the rest of the year in Rounds 14, 15 and 17, spending the majority of his time at North Ballarat in the VFL.
The left-footer spent more time in the middle of the ground for the Roosters, getting on the inside and winning more clearances.
It added another dimension to McKenzie’s game and should have the South Australian in good shape for 2015 after a full pre-season.
