‘‘Twas an excellent read, for sure.
Yes I was posted this on FB...how bloody true and so well written
Emma Quayle's draft assessment of Jack Macrae from the article;
The midfielder certainly came out but what happened to that smart half forward?Quote:
A smart half forward who might end up in the midfield
He was smart enough for me up at Seatless Stadium 13 months ago. And I was smart enough to steer my 4yo away from his request for number nine on his jumper at the (then) Spotlight in Braybrook four years ago and to the number 11 ( mainly because 11 was easier to cut down and iron onto his little jumper) 4.5 years ago - mainly because is was easier for Dad to cut down to fit on his little back) - think I haven't been patting myself on the back for that in recent times!! :) :)
Great read.
Way to go dad. Not only have you steered to the boy toward a premiership winning team but you have steered him clear of the morally corruptible # 9 to the loyal, dependable, reliable footballer's footballer # 11.
What he did in the prelim took stones. Smart is when he sidesteps an opponent in the forward 50. You don't see him do that anymore,
If we EVER trade Jacko, I'll spew up!
I see the Westerners coterie at least acknowledged the kid as their player of the year.
Solid supporters acknowledge him..
Fantastic and so well written, your best work yet.
Yeah great read. I certainly got a reminder of how undeserved some of the hero worship we all dole out really is when I read Abby's article. Jack is far more deserving of our praise and admiration
Thanks so much for this. Really well written.
It further shows that bringing good citizens into our club is as important as their talent.
bulldogtragician, ala Kerrie has done it again with a great read.
Macrae is one of the most underrated mids in the AFL. I don't know how he didn't win the Sutton this year and to mine, he was better than JJ in the grandfinal. If you look back and see the goals he created in the game, such as the one Stringer kicked, or in the third the hand ball to Dickson, the pass to Picken in the last.
I can see Macrae having a big year in 2018.
