Re: Early Trade talk - Anyone we want that may be available?
It's complete nonsense to say Macrae wouldn't get a game there.

He's a gun. Sure his long kicking and scoring requires improvement but the rest of his game is unbelievably good for a 22 year old.
Holds his feet in a contest and doesn't fall over too. Invaluable trait for a footballer. We've got a few now.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Early Trade talk - Anyone we want that may be available?
I was trying to think of an inside midfielder who's come into the game and immediately had an impact that's gotten the media buzzing, and the first one I thought of was Joel Selwood. So I compared their output at the same age and it makes for an interesting look.

Clearances and frees for probably make up the biggest differential in points related to stats. Jack played his first two years in a terrible side, while Selwood played his in an excellent side.
I'm pretty confiendent Jack as he is today would get a game in any premiership side from the last 20 years, let alone GWS's current side.

I don't think he gets enough credit for always going when it's his time to, be it laying or taking a tackle or hit, sheperd etc. I think that's underrated. He's just in a funk of confidence kicking for goal especially. He needs to work on it, but every player has something to work on. I'm backing him to take his game up another notch and force the media to actually consider that he was the better picked and not Wines.

I said to a few fellas at the Melbourne game that Macrae is actually tough as nails. One of the guys I was with was a country lad and he laughed at me, with my mate saying he's taking issue with that summation.
Plainly I said to my mate, "he doesn't watch the Dogs closely, why would I give a shit about what he thinks?".
Happy days.

I actually thought the same think when I posted it.
Happy Days would be more acerbic or graphic if he said it.

The only reason they said that was per Ghost Dog : "he looks like a choir boy"

Like the look of McKenzie from Norf. Elite kick. Would ask the question.

Would love to get WHE from GWS I remember watching him play us one day and he looked like he was gliding across the ground. Would compliment us nicely
