Luke Beveridge issues blunt response to questions over Jack Macrae and Caleb Daniel

Coach Luke Beveridge says it’s too early to tell whether Jack Macrae will be called on to face Gold Coast after the experienced midfielder was left out of the Western Bulldogs’ opening loss to Melbourne. Three-time All-Australian Macrae was omitted from Sunday’s 45-point defeat at the MCG after an interrupted pre-season, despite playing two VFL practice matches. Fellow senior Bulldog Caleb Daniel was named substitute.

” When asked if Macrae, who has dropped down the midfield pecking order in recent years, could feature in Ballarat against the Suns next Sunday, Beveridge said: “Too early — we’ll work through that during the week.” Daniel was overlooked for a starting role behind recruits James Harmes, Nick Coffield and debutant Harvey Gallagher. The 27-year-old replaced Ryley Sanders late in the third quarter and had 12 disposals — more than eight other Bulldogs.
