    Plus, he is still racking them up.

    Indeed, he was very good last night. Terrific player. So consistent. So prolific. Just goes about it and gets the job done.

    Crazy stat.

    Jacko has taken more a backseat role this year and gotten on with it. Not everyone would be comfortable doing that.

    Mick McGuane wrote an article in the hun about the fading infield fortunes. He suggested that Macrae might be being seen as an accumulator rather than a provider. I can?t work out why he?s playing as a high half forward. Anyone ?

    Some games you don't realise how many possessions he gets.

    Ask Chef, she/he raised it, I asked the same question and got nowhere. In the meantime, though, why do you think Macrae has been shifted ?

    Maybe re-read the trail? Chef never mentioned a curse or Bappos (whatever that is)
