Big Shout out to Jack Macrae

[D Mitchell]

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

Maybe re-read post 8, carefully.

Mate even the bloke who wrote the post has no idea what you're on about. Maybe explain or if you can't we can all just move on.

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 ?

What are you on about?

[Grantysghost]

What an absolute gun hes been for us. Seems like a lovely lad too

He does. I was so close to capturing the rare Macrae chat the other night at the sponsors event however missed it, I made too much noise and he was frightened away

[Funke disco]

He doesn’t get many set shots but I have to say that recently, when within range, he is much more comfortable kicking them than what he used to be.

You've lost me, what?

Curse worries me a bit, too but the lad's grounded ? (a followup in the offing ?)

Why is Jack cursed?

What are you talking about ?

I reckon it is Chefs signature that has caused the confusion "The Curse is Dead"

This is the most idiotic thread on woof, D Mitchell WTF is Bappos ??

That might be it. I have signatures turned off

Big call Westie, big call. There's plenty of other frontrunners.

Spot on that's it.

For @D Mitchell the bottom part of a post contains a user's signature. The same thing will display at the bottom of all of their posts.
You can turn off seeing them in settings.

Thankyou, Chief & GG. An attempt at humour referencing your signature as if part of your post. I'm curious how others describe Macrae's revised role and why the change.

[bornadog]

Macrae really is the quiet achiever - just gets on with the job.

Now we've got the first part cleared up, whats a bappo?

It's a good question. He's playing more forward and rarely in the mid rotations at centre bounce especially.

I can only guess we identified a sameness about our core midfield group (Bont, Libba, Macrae) from previous years the prevented us from defending stoppage as we would have liked.
Also forward 50 entries, the link bw midfield and forwards may have been a factor (although I think Jacko is awesome at this now).
Treloar has taken his role seemingly as an inside mid which probably leans towards Jackos ability to spread from stoppage as being an issue (as Treloar has pace).
He's certainly shown great leadership by seemingly just getting on with it for the benefit of the team.

TLDR

Spread from stoppage.
Defending at stoppage.
Mid - > fwd link up

Probably in that order.

Baptists.

He went to Carey Grammar.
