Ok so FWIW, Dunkley had 50% CBA last year.
Based on the preseason game, Liberatore, Treloar, Bont and Smith all had increased midfield minutes, whereas Macrae attended fewer centre bounces.
From watching almost every WBD game in recent years, I vividly remember Dunkley actually helping with Macrae's scoring due to (1) passing to Macrae after winning the contested possession (2) Bevo preferring to play the pair given their synergy, resulting in greater midfield minutes for both
Bont on the other hand has preferred to take that long clearance kick, overlooking Macrae in most situations.
Not actually sure that Dunkley leaving benefits Macrae in any way.
