Star midfielder Jack Macrae is enjoying a prolific run of form.

The 26-year-old ball magnet has already broken one statistical record this season – and if he continues the way he’s tracking, he could break another by season’s end.

Macrae’s first nine games in 2021 have been ultra-impressive.

In fact, the two-time All Australian is the only player in VFL-AFL history to have had 30-or-more disposals in every game across the first nine rounds of a season.

Macrae was one of just two players to have achieved the feat across the first eight rounds of a season – alongside former Footscray player David Thorpe, who achieved the feat in 1971.

But his 32 disposals against Port Adelaide on Saturday night pushed him into rare air.

Macrae has cracked the 40-disposal barrier twice this year – against West Coast in round two (41) and GWS Giants in round six (40).

Remarkably, if he continues at his current rate, he’ll give the all-time AFL disposals record a good chase.

That record currently sits with Hawthorn star Tom Mitchell, who tallied 848 disposals in the 2018 season – the year he won the Brownlow Medal.

Mitchell averaged 35.33 disposals across his 24 games in 2018, after breaking the home-and-away record in 2017, with 787 touches from 22 games in 2017 (35.77 per game).

And Macrae isn’t far off those numbers – averaging 34.44 touches from his nine games so far this season.
