Dished off two great handpasses resulting in goals to Dickson in the 3rd, and Stringer in the last. Plus his centring kick across to Picken who then kicked a goal.

An absolute gun player. Goes all day - incredible work ethic. I've said this before and it remains true - he looks like a 16 year old girl but is as tough as they come.
He does look a bit like Chris Lilley....and Ja'mie....in Summer Heights High.

Re: Jackson Macrae
Macrae with another outstanding second half.
Think he was on 7 possessions at HT and ended up with 30. I'm not sure where to find quarter by quarter statistics but his second halfs numbers would be off the charts.

I think I saw he had 10 possessions in the 3rd quarter and a massive 13 in the last quarter.

Re: Jackson Macrae
So far this season Macrae rates for the team;
2nd in disposals
4th in contested possessions
3rd in clearances and tackles
6th in Scoring involvements
7th (but 1st out of NON-defenders) in disposal efficiency at 79.9%.

Just so bloody reliable. He's hardly spoken about in the media (Cometti rated him) but others just don't have him front and centre. Jack probably likes it that way too.

Seeing a couple of his handballs last game I'm not surprised. He is amazing with his hands in traffic.

Re: Jackson Macrae
He's a serious chance for the Club B&F and All Australian this year if he maintains this level and can stay on the park.

There is a lot of care for team mates in the way he handballs out of congestion. He holds onto the ball long enough that he is able to get it to them when they are not under the pump, and he often ends up taking a hit himself as a result. He's a good team mate.

Outstanding numbers. Just incredible.
I often think of Robert Harvey when I watch Jack play but I'm starting to think that Jack might go past Banger. He's certainly a better kick, their handballing ability is a little different-Jack is better in close but Robert Harvey could handball as far as most blokes could kick, there will never be a better handballer over 20-30 metres than Robert Harvey.
Gut running is what made Harvey really elite though but we aren't going to be able to judge Jack accurately on that because Harvey kept improving his every year he played and I wouldn't be surprised if Jack did too. He's probably not happy just running through the entire game. He's the type of kid who'd want to sprint out the entire game or teach himself to fly from one end of the ground to the other or something.
Anyway Jack Macrae reminds me of Robert Harvey. Except a new and improved Premiership winning version.
He's still got Chris Grant's Brownlow you know.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Not good enough to be in any of the top 50 lists at the start of the year and yet someone like Parker is supposedly top 10 in the comp.

Agree on the last point.. quite selfless.
A few of his team-mates could learn a thing or 2.
