    Macrae is a busy midfielder whose draft stocks have steadily risen this year. He booted six goals against Tasmania at Visy Park at the under-18s carnival and was a key member of the Chargers' TAC Cup-winning team. The left-footer starred with 44 touches in a representative schools match later in the season that is a key indicator for AFL recruiters each year. He finished equal-second in the goalkicking test at the combine.

      Really like the looks of this one. Very skilled, and versatile.
      Seems like a very level headed young man as well.
      In the limited footage I've seen he reminds me a bit of Murph. Anyone who has seen more care to comment as whether this comparison is wide of the mark?

        Great choice. Stocks really grew during the season.

          I know people have said he play ike Pendles, but his highlights video looks to me like.... Bobby Murphy. Just can't tackle him and has that extra second to dispose of the ball.
          Very happy with the pick.

            That was my first impression too. Will be very happy if this is the case going forward.

                Just on SEN - sounds like his voice hasn't broken yet.

                    Big fan of Macrae and have been for a while.

                    Very slight and will take a few years to develop, but such a smart footballer who uses the ball extremely well with his great vision and awesome sidestep.

                          Isn't it staggering! At 29 - I try to think of myself as still reasonably young - and these kids being drafted were born when I was finishing primary school.

                          Will be a sad day when all of the Bulldog players are younger than me (apologies to all the older heads on WOOF - its just an alarming wake up call!).

                            When you were born I have been out off school for 5 years and working for 4.

                              Video of the last few minutes of the TAC GF which involves a bit of Jackson.

                              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
