Well done, lad. We know he's a work in progress, but by definition it's far harder to find someone with an extra gear like that when the team needs them, than to find an average player.
He could end up a brutal shut-down player with another pre-season or two under his belt.

Not totally comparing but the action above reminded me of Millane. Opposition players used to terrified of playing on him.stui magpie wrote:That last quarter, he had Norf players looking over their shoulders. The one when he crashed the player, grabbed him by the collar and basically threw him over the boundary one handed was Beau-tiful.

I heard that was because of the knife slash scars on him.lazzadesilva wrote:Not totally comparing but the action above reminded me of Millane.

After that tackle McCreery's shoulder bangs into an umpire's as they cross paths. I wonder if McCreery might get pinged by the MRO for making contact with an umpire. Not much in it but it is umpire contact nonetheless. Toby Greene was burnt at the stake last year for a similar sin.burnsy17 wrote:I loved it when he attacked that north player at full speed and dragged him by the collar over the boundary line! What an amazing tackle!
FYI: It happens at the 1hr 45min 36sec mark of the match replay video available on the AFL web site: https://www.afl.com.au/video/796200/mat ... MATCH:3948
In the seconds before contact the umprire appears to be be talking to McCreery (criticism of his tackling?). McCreery doesn't respond. The umpire then seems to walk directly into McCreery's path who doesn't alter direction to avoid contact.
