    Re: In praise of Jackson Macrae

    Remind me, who did we pass up on instead of Jack? Ollie Wines?

        I don’t think anyone as such, Wines was the pick after Stringer.

        Top ten is a bit meh

        1. Whitfield
        2 O’Rourke
        3. Plowman
        4. Toumpas
        5. Macrae
        6. Stringer
        7. Wines
        8. Mayes
        9. Vlausten
        10. Daniher (father / son)
        More of an In Bruges guy?

                We also got Hunter pick 49 as father son in the same draft.

                    Wines has been as good as Bont over the past 6 weeks. Remember hearing Dal say we were really into him and it was a roll of the dice whether we chose Jack or Ollie. Once we chose our midfielder it was always going to be Jake next.
                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                        We took Stringer at five, Jacko at six.

                        I wanted Wines from memory, pretty happy with Jacko.

                            Small part can’t help but wish we had wines and Jacko…..

                            But then, who knows what would’ve happened in 2016

                                It was a free to Brucey and Jacko whipped in and kicked it to Wally for a goal.

                                    Hunter was interviewed after the match and said Jackson believed (tongue in cheek) Wally should have shepherded it through.

                                        Love it that I just realized that Jack kicked it to Bont for Bont’s first ever goal for the Dogs.

                                            Jackson stood out from get go. Grew a lot in his first year. Apparently told off Matt Boyd for slackness at training.

                                            I want his powerful focus to find a hunger for goal.

                                                        Jacko has set the bar so high. Let's not be blinded by a number. I don't know how many possessions he had but I do know he was still one of our best. He willed himself to contest after contest, laid tackles and was in and under more than usual. He is a magnificent player.

                                                            I loved him standing over the Sydney player on the ground. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do anything close to that.
