nah he's a great player, a pure accumulator in every sense of the word. Not a guy that hurts you by breaking the lines and has only kicked 6 goals for the year. So he isn't a goal kicking mid but a good player nonetheless.

He's not a goalkicking mid, but he has the 2nd most goal assists and the 4th most score involvements this season. He's more than an accumulator

Yeah he's a great player don't get me wrong but he isn't someone who can break a game open like a Bailey Smith, Bont or even a Weightman. He's a death by 1000 cuts sort of gun.
 
More contested possessions than anyone in a prelim, will be leading the Gary Ayres medal going into the Grand Final.

But yeah he gets easy possessions and has no accountability.

This thread really should be on the Bay. Did well to bait and get 15 pages out of it but surely time to lock thread.
Which prelim?
 
Jack is stuck in the strange paradox that many great players find themselves.

As soon as people start saying he is underrated (which he isn't) he is overrated. As soon as people start saying he is overrated (which he isn't) he is underrated.

I think he's rated pretty fairly.
Well said and thought of point.
 
2018 Macrae finished 1 vote behind Hunter despite playing 3 less games - Clearly the better player that year but B&F always favours games played.

So he should have 1 and a consistent top 4 B&F place getter just unfortunately struggling to get over one of the greatest Bulldogs of all time.

Stop using 0 B&F's as a means to downplay him as a player.

Plenty examples of players that played less and still won.

Can you explain the other years?
