Bit of a fender bender, nothing to see here.
If Beau was driving, he was probably tailing that driver for the last 5km right on his hammer.Collingwood duo involved in car crash ahead of Sydney prelim
The club confirmed the news via a statement.www.sen.com.au
No it rear ended him, he’s fine, not even a corkie

Yeah, just thought I'd get in before the more jumpy posters go off after reading the title but not the article.

Probably a touch more than a "fender bender" - that's a decent hit that could do your neck some damage

In before:
"Not to sound negative, (this always comes before people say something negative), but this shows that even on the road Beau is a bit of a one trick pony. Needs to add new tricks to his driving.".

The other driver just wanted an autograph. The damage we see is after Beau tackled the car!!

Crumble zones.
Cars sustain more damage by absorbing more of the impact so people don't.

Journos are going to be busy if they start giving us a news report every time Beau smashes shit up.

They're called "crumple zones" and yes I am familiar with them
The point was it looks worse than what I would associate with a fender bender and the impact would've still caused some sort of shock/sudden movement.
I made my living on the road for nearly 35 years and I've seen quite a few 'fender benders' - that seems half a level above - not a smash but certainly enough to more than shake up.
The vehicle pictured is a hatch - now with a hatch the weakest point in the entire structure of the hatch is the centre top hatch area opening - it appears to be not buckled which strongly suggests that the force of the impact was on the lower end of the scale.
So of course it couldn't have been tackled by the Beaumeister - else it would be strewn across 3 lanes

Didn't want to sound dismissive of the potential for whiplash/shock, only to clarify that with modern vehicles that level of damage occurs at lesser impacts.
The club stated that no one has suffered injury.
I drove past that on the way to Leongatha.
Thought the Jeep must have been going hard to sustain that damage.

Evidence of first and second efforts there by Beau. Workrate is fine, just hope he didn’t have the fumbles.

Don's are having a meeting with James Hird to check if he's licensed to drive
I was on the way to work in Malvern when I turned off at Wellington rd as I heard there was a bad stack. Had I known it was our boys I would have kicked the missus out of the car or at least relegated her to the back seat and rushed the boys to the airport.

Dodoro has said that he wants two firsts for it, even though it’s not his car and now it’s a write-off.
