    Thats our whole team this year, for whatever reason.

    I couldn't tell as my mates 2 yo daughter turned off the TV as he started lining up. She was a little startled by the noise that was made after she did that.

    Whitfield, on the other hand, is a poor man's Macrae.
    I think they are all excellent players, and all three clubs would be very happy with who they have got.

    Whitfield has more pace and is a better kick than Jack, but doesn't have the same work ethic or elite hands.

    I was right behind the kick, it started gun barrel straight and then hooked as it got close to the goal square.. Probably finished 1m inside the goal post.

    Whitfield misses more tackles and drug tests than Jack.

    Jack Macrae to me is what Nigel Lappin was in the Fab 4 for Brisbane during their hey day. Aker, Voss and Black took the accolades with their sublime skill and grunt whilst Lappin consistently gathered touches and cut teams to ribbons with his accumulating and play making. A vital cog in our midfield and out and out gun.

    Great comparison. Lappin was one of the best two-way runners in the competition when it wasn't very fashionable to run the other way.

    I was right behind the goals and when the goal umpire started running hard to his left, I thought he had missed it.
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    I couldn't bare to look knowing he's not a great set shot. I didn't watch the ball but I did watch him to see what his reaction was. When he punched the air I went ballistic.

    I think I'd stopped breathing at that point. Macrae's reaction was just phenomenal - so much emotion in that one fist throw!

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    Absolute best on ground and only reason we weren't further down at half time. Only positive in the first half. Mr Reliable

    Even hit a target on his right boot. Obviously working on his weaknesses.
