Macrae a real shot for #1 mid this year. His outside game will go galactic with these new rules.

Then get tagged, freeing up all the doggies mids we've taken out of our teams.

Didn't they have to move Daniel to a sort of floating role around the ground in their final against St Kilda because he was losing them the match with his defensive 'efforts' on Geary? Any vaguely competent side will target his opponent whenever possible, it's just a question of how many goals is too many for Bevo.

Anthony Scott 102K M/F going along nicely, never heard of him lol

Macrae is making me reconsider my "No Bulldogs Mids" rule. Is he one who would benefit from the quarters going back to 20 minutes?

 

[Wheedus]

Damn

Definitely would be one, great fitness.

Only concern i guess is how Treloar fits in but really killing it so far!

Think inside/outside mids will also benefit from the changes. Macrae, Kelly, Merrett types - players who can win it in the contest but also get the cheap little marks and handball receives from the extra space. Less stoppages overall may mean pure inside mids drop a bit.

Macrae only played 75% TOG in that first term for 62 SC.

Chandler going well again. Geez, how many of these “160k” players can we fit in!

 

[Shannon]

As many suspected, Daniel is going to be a real beneficiary from these new rules - elite kick & decision maker, can now really work the angles even more.

Macca... wow, just an insane 1/4

 

[Ricky Bobby]

What’s going on with Petracca? Role change, or just can’t get his hands on it ?

 

[Wheedus]

Caleb started the day under 10%.

I'm super interested in the way the play seems to benefit those inside/outside mids like people have mentioned, more than the pure in-the-guts types.

Has me looking at starting Jelly/Macrae types instead of Petracca/Oliver/Cripps types

FREO play early I will keep him at F8.

 

[Leroy]

Oh yeah, and after saying 'Dogs mids are too crowded' all pre-season (like everyone else), Jack Macrae reminds us why he has averaged 120 three years running.

Just don't change your sides too fast everyone... we haven't seen Neale yet
