Ok, but I'm just saying there's no use trying to argue against a point I was never making in the first place. Someone else brought the topic up, so I countered with my own argument.Not really, I'm just bringing it back to what the discussion is really about.
And yeah, he throws. He isn't the only offender to be fair, though. Mitchell is guilty of it, too. The umpires were universally slack calling for it this year (so I really don't take much stock in your cited statistic, considering I've seen him throw with my own eyes - despite it not being called, other times it definitely has).
And honestly, Macrae is really not a habitual thrower, at least wasn't in 2018. People accuse Bulldogs of throwing constantly because their gameplan involves swift movement of the ball by hand. I highly recommend watching any slow motion footage you can find of their gameplay, and you will see that a lot of what appears to be "throwing" is actually just rapid hand movement, but contact is definitely made with their fist
