Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
Very happy to hear this. One of our most reliable and durable players on the list.
He's a personal favourite of mine, I was on board before we drafted him. If he can kick a few more goals like in his junior days, he will take his game to another level.

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
A huge commitment both from him and the club. Macrae works so hard at his craft and seems to expect that of others. My guess is he is one who stood up to the cowboy element in the playing group this year.
Now if Jackson can work on his kicking and start to believe in it, he could go another level to elite.

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
Best news for this week. Rate him highly for what he brought to our 2016 finals series
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
It's unfortunate that's there's Wood & Marcus for him, because I think he'd be a great captain. If he can work through his phobia of taking shots at goal, the media folks will all of a sudden see he's a lot better than give him credit for.

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
Great news. Very happy that Jack has recommitted to the club. He had a great year in a year we were well down. Unlucky not to win the Charlie Sutton medal.

Was definitely an attribute he had so hopefully he rekindles it.
Stoked to have him sign up - hope we have a few more announcements between now and the start of the season.

Jack is a jet, no two ways about it! This is a great and important signing. I'm rapt.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

B&F count might not have... but great to see the purse string holders of the club have their heads screwed on..!

How did they not respect him at the B&F? He came 3rd in the club.
This is awesome news though. Definitely a candidate to be in the leadership group this year I’d suggest.

He was a distant third - despite being our most reliable player for the year. Can't necessarily say he had the Bont covered, but he definitely had JJ covered. He's a modern day Stevie Wallis

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
Go Jackson!! Great news. Keep replaying that goal from prelim and believe you can more of that and guaranteed you will poll better in Brownlow. More importantly there will be more team success like ‘16.

Re: Macrae commits to the Kennel
Wonderful news that our often under-rated champ has signed. How typical that there was no fuss. He did it before we even began fretting about whether he would - that’s class!
