In praise of Jackson Macrae

[Ghost Dog]

Remind me, who did we pass up on instead of Jack? Ollie Wines?

We also got Hunter pick 49 as father son in the same draft.

Wines has been as good as Bont over the past 6 weeks. Remember hearing Dal say we were really into him and it was a roll of the dice whether we chose Jack or Ollie. Once we chose our midfielder it was always going to be Jake next.

We took Stringer at five, Jacko at six.

I wanted Wines from memory, pretty happy with Jacko.

Small part can’t help but wish we had wines and Jacko…..

But then, who knows what would’ve happened in 2016

I was counting his possessions over the game. He was at 15 half way through third and then just launched a spree from there. I think the ball he kicked from a free kick to can’t remember who in the goal square was his 30th

It was a free to Brucey and Jacko whipped in and kicked it to Wally for a goal.

Hunter was interviewed after the match and said Jackson believed (tongue in cheek) Wally should have shepherded it through.

Love it that I just realized that Jack kicked it to Bont for Bont’s first ever goal for the Dogs.

Jackson stood out from get go. Grew a lot in his first year. Apparently told off Matt Boyd for slackness at training.
Craftsman, elevated awareness and application.
I want his powerful focus to find a hunger for goal.

The run is over.

Jacko has set the bar so high. Let's not be blinded by a number. I don't know how many possessions he had but I do know he was still one of our best. He willed himself to contest after contest, laid tackles and was in and under more than usual. He is a magnificent player.

[bulldogtragic]

I loved him standing over the Sydney player on the ground. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do anything close to that.
