Macrae joins West Coast seeking a fresh start after five seasons at Collingwood, arriving off the back of impressive late season VFL form that reaffirmed his talent and readiness for greater AFL opportunity. Renowned for his clean ball use, composure under pressure and elite running capacity, the 23-year-old adds valuable flexibility, capable of contributing through the midfield, on a wing or as a high forward. Bringing lessons learned from time spent among Collingwood’s experienced onballers, combined with his blend of polish, work rate and versatility, Macrae shapes as an important addition to the Eagles’ evolving midfield mix.
