Player Watch Beau McCreery

[Harry O]

What Happens IF he stuffs up off-field again?

Probably the sort of thinking which has resulted in no indigenous players on our list

Presti went pick 10. He was a CHF in his under 18 year.

Really struggled early until Spud Frawley turned him into a FB

I'm not sure we've ever had a project player play well for us.. we're talking good consistent football.. interesting exercise would be to run through a list of them.

Probably be lucky to have 1 in 10.. and I'm only saying that to compensate for not being able to think of one.

Aren't rookie draft picks exactly that? Maxwell, Lumumba, Wellingham, Mihocek, Blair, Macaffer, and Michael have all come through that program.

McCreery out this week. Damn, I normally wouldn't worry too much about first year players, but this guy is pretty good, one of our best forwards IMHO!

 

[Mike Olotripo]

This is rubbish news, he had been playing so well and actually provides a spark to the side with his knack of kicking goals and his love of tackling!

 

[OniAu]

Damn. Thats a shame for this week

Has fast become one of my favourites to watch.

Collingwood Curse strikes again.

Holland was recruited as an established senior player from Fremantle. Hardly a project type either

He was a senior player yes, established no and basically steak knives in the deal for Clement, himself struggling to get a game at WC.
So no.
Malthouse got Holland , we did not go after him, though he said he was happy to have him because he had followed him as a 15 yo.

 

[Pie eyed]

It still comes down to what you mean by "Project player" as I said.
Josh Fraser was no.1 pick and he could be called a project player.

Des Headland is another example.

I thought Clement played with freo?

None of which refutes what I was saying about him not being the definition of a project player.

Both Holland and Clement did, which explains why they were struggling to get a game for WCE.

Makes sense.

Very funny

No, you are just making up your own new definition

Injured?

I hope Beau repairs quickly

On fire!

 

[Magnanimous]

He's undoubtedly been the highlight of the season thus far. One of very few who is enjoyable to watch at the moment.

He and Poulter make this year more palatable that’s for sure

I had that one in the back pocket

 

[Sticky Daics Pudding]

Hope the lad gets well too, disappointed for him and disappointed we won't get to see him play this week. Honestly one of the most enjoyable blokes to watch in the team at the moment.

As I said originally and repeated last post, depends on your definition.

Off topic anyway which was my fault.

It is great to see a player getting some credit this season.
McCreery continues to improve, injury aside.

You can define things any way you want... its a free country.... but it doenst make you right

 

[Pie eyed]

No, you are just making up your own new definition

Fraser was a project player for the whole comp.
At the very least an experiment.

Agreed with the Fraser type - not necessarily him as an individual.
The football community had a bee in their bonnet about athletic and mobile big men just as he came into his draft year.

He was instantly considered the number 1 pick by media and the experts, even though Pavlich was there. Dear Bruce early in Fraser's first season labelled him the best player he had seen.
