Player Watch Beau McCreery

[coolidge1000]

For everyone bagging mcreary I remember a bloke by the name of d Swan his first 2 seasons were bog average then look what he became, very similar burst players and body strength

there is no one in the magooes that can do what Beau does, no one.

No one can run around looking “busy”.

Sorry. But two problems with this post:

1. Different era. Which means different gamestyle and tactics.
2. Completely different player and what they bring to the said tactics and gamestyle.

Apart from that….spot on.

Dane Swan and Mcreery are nothing like each other.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Nah, it's pretty close to accurate. The forward line has room for only one of Schultz or McCreery.

I prefer McCreery. I think his fumbling limits his potential performance, but he can be inspirational at times.

This kid is built differently. To get an unexpected full power knee to the chin and just sit there. Anyone else would've left in an ambulance.

Hopefully we see Beau back in a couple of weeks. He was looking good through the middle.

Absolutely something to explore there. I think he looked very comfortable, and didn't get lost chasing the man at all

Shame. He was playing so well. Looked good in the midfield.

another option for us going forward.

Lipinski also showed that he's forgotten on here as a midfielder.

 

[Kes1984]

Even though he’ll be in protocols, I hope Mumma McCreery still gives the boys a good old Mother’s Day rev up next week!

really interesting to see with degoey out with groin issues, I think we have tried to turn him into something that his not. 100% midfielder. the answer here lies with McCreery. Degoey should be 60-70% mid and 30-40% forward and McCreery vise versa.

Shattered for Beau, he was looking good in the midfield, i dear say our best player until he got subbed off. I hope the concussion doesn't effect him too much, hope to see you on field ASAP.

Finally started to show a bit of consistency and got into the middle, where he had been touted all summer. Bad luck for Beau, but the centre square is where I'd like to see him more going forward.

 

[Captivating]

Hopefully we now see more of Beau through the mid field. He was awesome.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Looked good in the centre square and handled the ball cleanly under pressure with less time to think about what he’ll do once he gets it I reckon. Another string to the Beau. Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Every time he goes for one of those gut busting runs forward I expect him to turn it over, and he nearly always does

If Richards and Harrison continue to come on, Beau should be trade bait

Trade bait?
What do you expect we would get for him?
It certainly will not be a first rounder sontheres not much point in trading him.

There are 2 kinds of Collingwood fans.

Those who bag Beau, and those who understand his contribution.

 

[Monco Matt]

He is a player that has the clear ability to take the next step as a footballer from a cameo burst player to consistent impactful player, but most of these types simply don't progress. I don't see any reason why he can't pick up 15/20 disposals consistently and 30+ goals a year.

Beau would be one of the last players I'd consider trading. His pressure & tackling is the blueprint for our DNA.

Neither of them have his brute physicality that puts the fear of god in opponents. The surface was the cause of the poor bounces last night.
