The Jack Macrae Thread

[Leon]

We have several player appreciation threads on this forum.

Mofra’s excellent Caleb Daniel thread.

Living vicariously through Libba and his nonna.

The Church of Bontempelli.

The hilariously named “I’ve got an Easton Wood” thread.

Possibly others I’m unaware of.

It is now time for the great Jack Macrae to have an Official Thread.

Some quick Jack Macrae Facts:

- Yesterday in our come from behind win against the Hawks, Jack Macrae has 36 possessions, 9 score involvements and 1 goal

- In our semi final win against the Hawks in 2016, Jack Macrae had 39 possessions

- In our 2016 Preliminary Final against GWS, Jack Macrae kicked the winning goal, putting us into the Grand Final for the first time in 55 years and breaking the curse of 7 previous Preliminary Final defeats.

- Jack Macrae has counted to infinity, twice.

- Jack Macrae beat the sun in a staring contest


Etc etc

In essence, this thread is for the appreciation of love of the great man Jack Macrae.

Register your appreciation and love for him! Do it I say!

Jack Macrae also became the youngest player in the AFL to play a 40 possession game (43 & 2 from memory). He was 19.

He s also super-competitive and very disciplined, never gives away stupid free kicks. It's scary he's still a couple of years off his best football.

I think he has a brownlow in him, could even be as early as this year.

Umpires tend to be 12 months behind in recognizing players. If we can push for finals, his consistency will almost certainly have him in the race.

Although it kinda sums up the no nonsense way he goes about his football this thread desperately needs a snappier title.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Even though style of play is very different. Reminds of Scott West. Every week without fail bust his arse for the team. Leads by example and is an absolute gun.

 

[Dogforever]

I cannot believe it has taken 5 years for this thread. He has more disposals per game than any other Bulldog and mostly they end up with a team mate. He is brave. He is an absolute star.

So "The No Nonsense Jack Macrae thread"

 

[doggies ftw]

I just love him, hes still improving so much every year even though hes already at auch a high level. His disposal off either foot is becoming a serious weapon now. Getting more damaging by the week

 

[Yojimbo]

Jackson Macrae, the best pick 6 in the draft in the last twelve years.

Pick 6 was viewed as unlucky until along came Jackson Macrae.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

what a gun player he is turning out to be

that goal in the 4th was just scintillating

 

[stefoid]

BOG on sunday and barely rates a mention.

 

[WallyStringhaus]

Dear Jacko,

Everytime you have the football as you cross the F50 arc, zing it at the big sticks like you did so perfectly on Sunday.

It inspires your teammates and will put you in the conversation with Danger, Fyfe, Dusty, Kelly, Bont as one of the very best our game has to offer.

You have been unselfish for long enough, time to become the big DOG!

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Sums him up entirely that it's taken this long to give him a thread.

I'd be happier to see him up on that Brownlow stage than I would anyone else. Not because he's my absolute favourite player but because it'd be evidence of some sort of cosmic justice that I'd really like to believe in.

Jack Macrae stars in Untaggable You. Guest appearances from Mitch Wallis (Indecent Disposal) and Caleb Daniel (Get Shorty)

 

[Freshwater]

So amazingly consistent. Was exceptionally good through our finals run couple and of years back, and hasn’t dropped the output since. Only notching it up year to year. Seems very coachable too.

The Jack Macrae-zy thread

I'm Macrae-zy for Jack

JackMac Attack!!

Macrae: The Jack-al

Yup, I'm struggling too.

 

[_M_16_]

Most underrated player in the league just about. Obviously by our own as well, given the lack of a dedicated thread for him, despite being our most consistent player in the Bevo era
