    Congratulations to Jackson Macrae - 200 games v Round 16 2022

    What a star, what a player, he has been brilliant throughout his career to date. So consistent and has racked up 100 games with 30 plus disposals. Unlucky to not snare a B&F, but will get close this year.

    200 games already? That was so quick.

    Jack is of the most consistent and durable players we've ever had. I put him in the Scott West class and I really rated Scooter, he was just about the best midfielder to play with us.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Jacko will easily go past the all time record of games with 30 plus disposals held by Gary Alett jnr before he retires.

    Drafted the same year as Stringer and has played 30 games more.
    He's durable and consistent and on top of that an excellent footballer.
    Could we get another 100 games from him? I hope so.

    Still only 27, so could make it to 300

    Jet. Keep it up Jacko. Very very good footballer. Hard as nails and silky with both foot and hand. Runs all day long. Earns his possessions.

    Skinny frame. Durable. Doesn't rely on explosive pace. Unless he cops a major injury he will easily make it to 300.

    Remember when we picked up Stringer and Macrae and we were more excited about Stringer?

    How wrong we were.

    Was it a priority pick or the Griff pick? I've forgotten why we had 5 and 6.

    Was it Ward compo?

    EDIT

    Because of Callan Ward’s defection to Greater Western Sydney at the end of 2011, the Bulldogs were rewarded an extra first-round pick as compensation, which they activated the following year. This ensured the Western Bulldogs got picks five and six in the 2012 AFL Draft – which proved to be very valuable.
    We whinge about Ward going to GWS, but we wouldn't have Macrae

    ok, ME

    I think Macrae is a far superior footballer than Ward, so it has worked out well for us.
