Good honest player

But I wouldn’t have thought he’d have been in the class of Free or Cogs

Probably this for me, followed by Stack and then Dragga

I also wonder if Andy Collins would have had a better career with us vs Carltank but the trade for Grigg was a ripper.

I don’t think we can assess the value Macrae gained from that period between 2017-2020. Remember he was sacked from Collingwood when he was there as an assistant coach…

:ROTFL

Sideshow Bob was probably the dumbest footballer I've ever seen.

I can only assume Reiwoldt used to be the most frustrated with him as he used to repeatedly give him all those brilliant tap-ons and assists that he was eventually famous for but Sideshow had absolutely no idea. He didn't understand positioning or could not read the ball or what, where, when or how on any given moment what Jack was doing for him on the field most of the time. Instead he would run in the opposite direction of where Reiwoldt was basically handing him the ball and an easy goal on a silver platter. :banghead

I reckon Jack had to draw him crayon pictures at half time to explain things but in the end it was all a waste of time, not even the wizard of Oz Clarko could give this bloke a footy brain.
