Seen him at Coburg a few times and he's incredibly agile for someone so tall. Has good hands and is excellent when it hits the ground. He's 6' 8" but moves like he's 6' 1". He's so agile he played CHB in juniors. He's currently only skinny so once he fills out a bit, look out!

What is this feeling?

 

[DrMike]

Leading goal scorer for Coburg this year I think

 

[THECHIEFTON]

Obviously has heaps of talent. Needs to hit the gym big time. When we have Jack, McBean and Vickery in the forward line....Look out!

Yeah with a combined height of 597 cms......that's scary

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

He has gained 7 kilos this year. I wonder if we'll play him against GWS or BL? Deserves his senior debut to be this year.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

While I think he deserves a senior birth, I would rather we keep him in the 2nds developing nicely and let him hit the gym hard over summer and if he keeps performing reward him with a shot at the 22 next year; it hasn't hurt Geelong's youngsters at all

Against GWS would be perfect. Give one of our other talls a rest to freshen up a fortnight out from finals, and he wouldn't be giving away so much size and experience compared to other opposition sides. Actually, I say bring him in for a tall, but the fact is, he could actually be the quality "small" forward we're craving. He's amazing when the ball his the deck... and you don't need to tack; "for a guy his height" onto the end of that statement, either!

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Would love to see him play this week.
We need to start developing our kids with a hand full of games.

Would it be too risky to give Jack a weeks rest before the finals and play Mcbean
In the forward line only

Geelong are probably the best at rewarding kids with a game if their form warrants it. Blicavs is a perfect example of a skinny young tall getting thrown in and thriving.

Risky, because McBean would probably come in and kick 15 goals, and JR wouldn't get his spot back, you mean?

That's correct.
Then we trade JR for Tyson, Adams and Whitfield

Or even better Clarke, Fyfe and Barlow

 

[Put a Lids on it]

I'm thinking 2015 would be optimal, now if he wasn't such a rake but future gun though no doubt.

 

[Westicle]

In his first season at VFL level, he has kicked:

31 goals 25 behinds so far.
More goals than any other player at Coburg.
More goals than Joe Daniher (taken as a first round father/son pick, also in his first year).
One bag of 6, two bags of 4, one bag of 3 and bobbed up with 2 goals no less than seven times in his first 12 games.

Looks like he will provide a good return for pick 33 in the draft!

Bloody beautiful

 

[THE_GUN]

Ahhhh McBean ------------ You've done it again

I did tell everybody before we drafted liam that he will become a gun

 

[Tonythetiger]

If we bring him up for a game then drop him...

"Tigers give Bean the flick"

 

[IDGAF]

Plays this week

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Didn't Choco state at mid year that we would see Mcbean at some stage this season?

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Mark Williams said this about Mcbean

“He’s a possibility . . . I would think that he’d play two, three or four games before the end of the year, and that’s be great for our club.”

 

[Bazzar]

A 6 keg preseason and full NAB Cup and lets revisit.

Could be our x factor in the hunt for a flag.

[Hope he dont play this year... no rush]
