Have had Macrae since my first team because it stung so much not having him last year when he went ballistic, but am now considering swapping him out for someone cheaper to make sure I have enough cash for any rookie corrections. I've also got Cripps, Oliver, Fyfe and Cogs in my midfield so am already pretty stacked (in my opinion).
Question is:
Macrae vs Neale
Neale if you feel you need the money.
I’m gambling on Macrae getting affected by some tags in the first 6 weeks with Hewett, Howe, Miller and Banfield on his schedule. Contrary to what many have said the prospectus rates Miller as a tagger. That being said he didn’t do a good job on Macrae when he got sent to him in Q3 last year. There was evidence that Macrae’s output can be reduced by tags last year. Banfield kept him to 98, Hutchings to 74 and Harmes kept him to 10 disposals in a second half after he had 23 in the first.
It’s the gamble I’ll make but I reckon I’ll still need to get him as soon as possible.
This can still backfire because the tags might not occur and he might break them, his blend of inside and outside would suggest he’s hard to tag. He could come out and hurt those who don’t have him so it’s really up to you, but I won’t start him.
