Jackson Macrae

And he will fix those problems. He's the sort of player who won't stop until he does because he wants to make himself a better player. We were talking about who will step up in the midfield to take some of the pressure of Bont. Macrae will be one of them.

Yep, his continuous and rapid improvement has been nothing short of remarkable. He wasn't a capable contested ball player in his first couple of years, he's now possibly our most reliable in the contest. Like Wally, he doesn't settle for anything less than the best option and has the courage to hold the ball until that option presents itself. His kicking has also improved out of sight, although still not perfect. And then we see some contested marking emerge yesterday! It's going to be exciting to see what else Jack can bring into his game over his career. He's a gem.

He's the sort of kid who won't take no for an answer and will keep asking (no matter how people it annoys) until he finds someone who can give him the answer/advice that he's looking for. He's the guy you played cricket with that spent the post match sitting in the corner of the dressing room talking to an opposition player about how to get his wrong un to grip more and different ways to watch the ball all the way onto the bat.

he's also moving better and he is holding his marks.

I like the way he used his height to advantage on a few occasions.
