A three-time All-Australian and a premiership player in the Western Bulldogs' drought-breaking 2016 side, Macrae joined St Kilda ahead of the 2025 season carrying a Gary Ayres Medal and the AFL record for most disposals in a season, 880. The prolific 192cm onballer was among the Saints' best through his first year at Moorabbin. He has played 282 AFL games and kicked 60 goals.
