Jack Macrae

Re: Jack Macrae

Such a wonderful player and I’m surprised that his milestone isn’t getting attention. The guy who kicked THE most important goal of the decades since 1961. I’ll never forget seeing his tears when the boys sang the song after we beat GWS. Thanks Jack Macrae.

Re: Jack Macrae

Won't be surprised to see him in the AA squad this year. He's a 1000 cuts player, but if he can slightly improve his hurt factor and goal kicking he'll finish the year in the elite category. Consistently reliable and tough.

Well done on the first 100 Jackson.

Re: Jack Macrae

The Club appreciates what he does, rewarding him with a 4-year Contract.

Hence a great example for any other player at the Club. You WILL get rewarded if you are a Team Player.

As David Smorgon said in his speech the other night at the Season Launch "The club is bigger than any individual. We all have played apart to where it is today".

Re: Jack Macrae

Macrae is a very under rated player, but he can change that by hitting the scoreboard.

I was at a function in December and had a chance to talk to him.

My advice was that "We do not need Daniel Cross always avoiding kicking for goal. When you are inside 50 take the ****** shot and kick some goals"

Well, he got us into a final didn't he. What a memory that was. Was so nervous because he does tend to kick them across the body a bit. Slotted it and the rest is history.

Jack was so cool lining up the goal I was confident when he was walking in

His kicking has improved a lot. So happy we drafted him. Funny to think that people thought Stringer would be the better of the two. Know who I would rather have.

Re: Jack Macrae

Odds on him making it 3 from 3 as our BOG this weekend?

Re: Jack Macrae

Would be leading the early B&F count I would imagine ahead of McLean, Bont, Hunter.

Re: Jack Macrae

Did anyone else notice Jack's sidestep made a brief appearence in the third quarter? He picked the ball up at halfback, made for the middle of the ground but there was an opponent standing there just waiting to tackle him. Jack let the dog see just enough of the rabbit to think he had a chance of tackling him but then Jack just displaced his hips or whatever it is he does that allows him to step sideways and forwards without changing pace or his step pattern. The Essendon player just stood there. I jumped out of my seat.

He's definitely feeling himself right now. Playing with a lot more confidence and is a far more damaging player because of it.

Re: Jack Macrae

I couldn't be loving Macrae much more right now! Even finding myself lobbying for my young bloke to get a number 11 on his newest dogs guernsey.
