Yeh, him, Jamie and Jack Ginni, plus Ash, running riot on the forward line, is looking a real treat to come. :D

Beau McCreery could play HB,Wing,C

He has height, strength, toughness, fitness, blitzing speed, kicks accurately and like a mule. He doesn't lose a lot of contests


Totally untapped till now... He is a big part of our future. Watch this space.

There are some really good signs about this signing for the future of our Club culture.

Fly in his speech at the Copeland mentioned the importance of relationships and about the number of ex-players / coaches that had returned to the Club for the first time e.g. Leon Davis and Andrew Krakouer.

Bobby in his interview with the Club mentioned having Leon Davis working here as a factor in his decision to come to Collingwood.

Hopefully that culture is going to deliver us some more good talent that me might have otherwise missed out on.

Love Bobby's family tree as well. This article on the GWS website goes into Bobby's family member splaying AFL footy: https://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/24951 ... ing-family
[Bobby Hill's] family tree is littered with current and former AFL stars.

Fremantle brothers Stephen and Bradley Hill, former Collingwood forward Leon Davis and Western Bulldog and West Coast goal sneak Josh Hill are cousins of the West Australian, with Bradley Hill a particularly close ally of the new GIANT.

Yep Ash too. We may not have a Cameron or a McKay tall but the way we play may well compliment the swift smalls

^i reckon hill takes WHEs spot. He and Mcreery running both ways works well with Hill to get to Mcstays feet who takes Johnsons spot in the round 1 starting 22.
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

In 2-3 years we'll probably need to prepare for Jamie Elliott's departure too. Bobby Hill looks like his perfect replacement.

Flashes to bashes
Crushed to dust
If Bobby don't get them
McCreery must
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
