#31 Beau McCreery

[BBHS]

The best thing about him is watching the opposition shit themselves when he's after them.

[BazBoy]

His final SANFL season he led the tackles count in fwd 50 through the comp

I liked what I saw even before we signed him

And I have yet to see him pulled to the ground in a one on one contest

[Raw Hammer]

His last quarter was ridiculous. It was one of the best individual performances I’ve ever seen.

[RudeBoy]

This guy was phenomenal yesterday - his frantic pressure and hard hits were gold. Love watching him play.

He also has goal sense - a 'first picked' type of player (amongst a range of others)

Not a direct comparison but do you see a bit of Millane in McCreery? I do.

Good call Lazza. I was about to post the same thing. I suspect the comparison will become clearer, the more he plays. As it stands, he's our current raging bull.

[stui magpie]

Love the guy, such a combination of strength and speed and seems like such a natural unaffected bloke. He should be personally sponsored by a laundry stain remover because he gives players multiple brown pants moments each game when he goes after them, but when players try to tackle him he just walks through them.

One of my favourite players and yeah would be one of the first picked each week.

Yep he is a raging bull like Pants but I call him Bear after the guy who does the music for walking Dead tv show

[doriswilgus]

What a stud.

[pietillidie]

An absolute beast, but with speed *and* foot skills, which means there are more gears to go through yet. He's in the right role now, but also looking forward to him having midfield role as a brutal lock-down player that hurts teams the other way. Oh, and as Nick's personal bodyguard

Love the comparison
Millane was a better mark, McCreery is faster, but they are both the best team players who lift their teammates. Both are great kicks, bulldose through contests, love the hard contact and don't take any nonsense from opposition. They are also some of the strongest players I have ever seen. Millane ragdolled his opposion and I will never forget McCreery handling May last year!

Without McCreery’s last quarter I doubt we would have won.

That is the first time I have thought of him as a match winner. We just got a bit scarily better, as a result.

[1eyedpie]

I like to call him Bull.

He just wrecks havoc, splits contests, bullies blokes and is so fast it’s scary.

He’s an absolute bull and I love the guy. I bet they love playing with him!

Someone in the match post suggested we call him McScary

I've been a big fan of Beau McCreery for quite a while now and he's just starting to show how good he can be by hitting the scoreboard a bit more regularly. I think he is a bit faster than Darren Millane was but not as good a mark (yet!). Given good coaching and avoidance of any major injury concerns and I have high hopes Beau will develop into a real attacking weapon like Steve Johnson was for Geelong.

I came here to write this, he had a fantastic match. That goal after the siren was well deserved.

Without McCreery’s last quarter I doubt we would have won.

[piedys]

Yet we are still just seeing glimpses of what he can do when he applies himself, looking forward to the day he finds his self belief to grab a game by scruff of the neck, and puts four quarters together to demoralise a contender.
