Opinion Is Jack Macrae Overrated?

[branedotorg]

All dogs mids have inflated numbers due to the game style they play but if he was a free agent literally every club would be calling his manager.

Supercoach stats overrated, talent justified

 

[La Dispute]

This is pretty much just the ‘Is Tom Mitchell overrated?’ thread of 2018, or ‘Is Lachie Neale overrated?’ thread of 2020.

 

[Shane Heard]

Some very short memories in here and a few pea brains have used the opportunity to stick the knives in after his first average game in a long time.

Ultra consistent who any team would jump at the chance to have.

Yes..a good above average, consistent midfielder

 

[La Dispute]

I'd go against the grain and say he is one of the best mids in the comp. Probably on the rung below the Dusty's of the competition.

His hands are some of the best I have seen, always seems to hit a target by hand. He is just prolific and racks them up consistently, rarely has a bad night. Also his disposal by foot seems to be pretty spot on. He could probably kick more goals but you could say that about 90% of midfielders in the league.

One of my favourite non Suns players to watch, but that just might be me.

His hands in tight are fantastic - weights his passes perfectly, often under a lot of pressure with very little room for error.

yeah nah ...those two add more polish and classy skills in tight spots

McCrae is more grinder workhorse ball carrier and can run like a hare all day.
very valuable player for dogs

 

[Chinacats]

Does get behind the stoppage possessions. Not a ‘get on my back and we will turn this around ‘ type player. Not a criticism just what it is. A nice footballer

 

[TigerTime88]

He’s an out and out gun who plays well most weeks. Underrated if anything.

 

[Donakebab]

You've literally described the captain of your football club. Your club, your coach and team mates are more than happy to let him play that role every week as the Captain. The face of the club. The ******* face of the club. Doesn't show leadership playing sheep dog football every week. Take a look in your own backyard before posting champ.

That's your club too you dumb gonk.

 

[freddy mercury]

That's your club too you dumb gonk.

Read the signature you fool. Absolute idiot.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Stat merchant extraordinaire plays on the wing and collects easy disposals.

Zero accountability from opposition taggers which in turn may allude to the fact that the other clubs don't rate him as a dangerous footballer that needs to be stopped.

Supercoach/fantasy footy doesn't = reality.

Has more talent and ability than all of the rubbish and riff raff on North's list put together.

Pathetic thread.

 

[freddy mercury]

Donakebab have you realised how stupid you looked?

 

[Donakebab]

Signatures don't show on mobile champ.

Not as stupid as the coward who doesn't flair up their actual team.

I don't have a team, pal.

Third in the coaches votes before last night and you believe other clubs don't rate him?

 

[Shane Sheridan]

No

 

[Bald]

He's not overrated and he is no longer underrated.

He is rated exactly where he should be right now.

 

[Guy Threepwood]

He's tough, durable, has a great mix of inside and outside skill and has been a driving force in arguably the best midfield so far this season. How on earth is he overrated? 17 other teams would be banging down his agent's door if he was looking to move clubs.

 

[Hyflr]

Someone said a top 10 player of the comp. I don't think so personally.

Still a damn good player and you've picked his only average game of the year to call him over-rated, Bravo. Do you also have to be reminded at night the sun exists and will infact rise in the morning?

The sun will be there, that is correct. But, it will not rise in the morning, it’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I'm not worried. I do, however, know it's not coming.

Sorry you’re caught in the crossfire. Tough time for the roos.

Dan just has repeat form in creating bay level threads, and needs to **** off back to that cesspit if this is the crap being served up. That whole board is filled with low intelligence troglodytes.

Just taken a second mortgage on my house and put it all on the Macrae Brownlow. Thanks for the tip <3

Our fans just need to relax. We have a bit of trouble accepting that WB are a glamour team and we have the stench of pov and irrelevant. Nothing is permanent in this game though.

Yeah not really comparable to the Mitchell and Neale types. The main similarity is being an accumulator.

I have never seen a player more willing to cop a late hit if it means timing his disposal to perfectly suit his team mates. Dude takes an absolute beating every week; you see him cleaned up multiple times a game. This year, his delivery inside 50 has improved out of sight, to the point I would almost rate him as our best midfielder purely because he NEVER plays a bad game. Like, ever.

 

[300Weatherby]

Dogs fans and the Melbourne media can't stop telling us how brilliant they are.

Then stop listening to the Melbourne media

 

[Dan]

So some of the rebuttals I've seen are that his an All Australian, Premiership Player, Superstar, would be north's best player (he wouldn't) etc.

If he's as good as those who have claimed....why doesn't he attention from opposition players.

Do you lot know something that the other clubs don't?

I mean what would they know :/
