Player Watch Beau McCreery

[Hong Kong Pie]

BEAST

 

[Sticky Daics Pudding]

Absolute animal. Love this bloke.

 

[windchimes]

Jesus he’s quietly important is he not? He seems to swing the pendulum late in games so heavily with his pressure forcing others to lift around him. Absolute bloody machine

 

[Quicky]

McCreery is already in his best role. The blokes a wrecking ball. I don't think i've seen a better tackler. Speed, strength and technique. He doesn't have clean enough hands for full time mid.

And still bobs up for a handy goal most weeks. The perfect pressure forward. What a dream to have him after living through the years of Blair and C.Brown trying to play that role.

I used to love Trav Varcoe…. But this guy is next level.

 

[Think Goodly]

I used to love Trav Varcoe…. But this guy is next level.

That's not a bad comparison. Trav developed a great bump - I reckon he put a few guys out of games with legit hits. McCreery has all the attributes to scare the hell out of oppositions in much the same way

 

[rand corp]

Just got to love the way he goes about it, hard as a cat's head and tackles like a wolverine. Great pace to close down a contest and runs out the 4 quarters better than most.

Couple of Roos were as nervous as a gypsy with a mortgage in the last quarter, after a few bone-rattling Beau specials.

 

[nahnah]

Man I love him

 

[Looney]

Watch for the AFL to outlaw the jumper tackle soon.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Watch for the AFL to outlaw the jumper tackle soon.

Any other player in the AFL would break every finger in their hands attempting tackles like that.

 

[lenny20]

He does it with grunt instead of silk, but his impact per possession is up there with Cyril. He can turn a game with 10 possessions.

There's just nothing more valuable than winning front-half contests when you're outnumbered, and that's Beau's game all over.

A love seeing him put the head down and sprint forward too.

 

[MooreTreloar]

The love I have for Beau McCreery is going. Putting together a great run of games.

 

[Kappa]

Is he the best tackler in AFL history?

 

[jonbe54]

The lad is a guided missile and he makes opposition forwards look over their shoulders and cringe when they spot him barrelling towards them flat out.

Nah, his technique is suspect. Never going to get a holding the ball called, if you simultaneously drag him into row 14 of level 1.

 

[gouki88]

12 posies, just about our best today. The commentators sound surprised by his tacking, like they have never noticed it before. Love him

They’re always too busy sooking about Ginnivan getting his head ripped off, as it’s his fault nobody can tackle.

They always miss Beau’s starring efforts

 

[Occidental]

Pick 44 in the 2020 Draft.
If you re-did the draft knowing where they are currently at… Beau McCreery would be a top 10 pick.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Nah, his technique is suspect. Never going to get a holding the ball called, if you simultaneously drag him into row 14 of level 1.

They will bring in a new rule saying tackled players aren’t allowed to be disposed of over the fence.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Shoutout to the geniuses on this board who suggested last week Beau needs to spend some time in the twos to find some form just because he hadn't kicked a goal.

I agree at least, in that the players should be disposed of responsibly. I doubt many of them are recyclable, so they need to go in the trash.

 

[Anzacday]

The commentators sound surprised by his tackling

He doesn’t care if they duck.
He just waits, grabs their jumper and drags them.

Man I love him

Get behind me!

 

[MoreMoore]

We were ridiculously slow in the centre today
Without DeGoey it was embarrassing
Elliot had cameos but Norf just danced around us .

Wonder how McReery would go in a centre bounce?
