Opinion Is Jack Macrae Overrated?

[WalshistheGOAT]

He's not overrated anymore, but that's more because nobody really hypes him up much now. Solid 2nd stringer at most clubs, but needs a more damaging mid around him to best utilize him.

No, only a fool would question the merit of picking up Macrae for a bag of chips. It's a sensational deal for St Kilda, and they did extremely well exploiting Beveridge's stupidity and incompetence.

Sure. I look forward to the same energy when Carlton wish to move one of their older, slower mids on in favour of younger and/or quicker talent.

Oh wait..

Voss hasn't been given 10 years, not does he get a final say on list management decisions. Bevo has had the power to overrule list management for about 8 years now, which is why you keep recruiting garbage players like Ryan Gardner lol.

9 years across 2 clubs is close enough surely?

Are you related to Jack Macrae by any chance? We had Andrew Dunkley posting in our threads a few years back. Was unhinged like your current posts Mikey.

Only an unintelligent poster would attempt to correlate a career spanning across two clubs under very different circumstances with Beveridge's tenure at the Bulldogs.

I also notice you are choosing not to address any arguments specifically, instead opting to attack me directly like certain other reactionary posters.

By all means keep believing I'm related to Macrae if it helps you feel better, but at the end of the day, I'm hardly the only footy observer who understands how bad of a coach Beveridge is.

They are very different circumstances because Voss is not a very good coach, whereas Bevo has 2 Grand Finals and a Premiership on his resume. This is amongst multiple re-builds.

You may not be related to Macrae, it would just explain your weird obsession with Macrae being traded and Beveridge as a coach. Why does it bother you so much? You don’t support either Dogs or Saints. It’s pretty unhinged.

I'd rather give a man 10 years with some control over his football club then 5 men no control over that same time.
Whilst I have disagreed with many of Beveridge's decisions over those years a bad coach doesn't make two grand finals let alone win one.

Just block him. Absolute nonce.

Called Bont an ostrich if I remember correctly. We need this one to come up with a much more creative insult for Bevo than the standard “shit coach”.

St. Kilda is the perfect fit for Macrae. Do they even have one other good midfielder?

Macrae is clearly still a good player but who is he playing in the midfield at the Dogs ahead of in Bont, Libba, Treloar or Richards?

It was a mutual decision to allow him to play his best role at a club that has no good midfielders. We picked up an adequate replacement in Kennedy for half the cost, three years younger and a far better ability to play as a half forward.

Win win.
