And his tackling pressure and general strength would be amazing at stoppages...

I might have missed it in the report, but Jen you didn’t seem to comment on Grundy leaving the track (as per Tom Browne)? Anything to monitor?

I bet Petracca and Oliver would back themselves to take on the tackler too. That'd be interesting. Reckon they might get a surprise.
Nobody escapes the clutches of McCreery. It will end in tears for them.
Have a feeling Ginnivan will be spending some minutes in the midfield , short , sharp moments then push forward on the spread .
McCreery could squeeze the ice out of a fridge. Would be a good matchup.
Yep , the guy is a bull , McCreery is our young Bull ready to test the benchmark

I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but roughly 2.5x body weight is massive for an AFL player rehabbing an ACL at that age… TBH it’s a huge weight for any AFL player at any age or injury status. For me if he was doing that back then he should be capable of a lot more today. I reckon Ricky90 (if my memory of the JT and Keeffe story is bang on) was our resident weights expert? If so any thoughts.

Beau can bench press 140kg.
200kg x 3 reps
There's a reason he's a power mid guy trained his arse off from a young age both in the gym and footy field.
Fwiw my dad is a former Australian powerlifting champion who has competed at world's and a qualified pt. For a 19 year old who does the running these guys do that's an incredible achievement would love to know what his true full range squat is now.

Was reading an article on an NBA player who basically played his career with no acl in either knee. After failed high school surgeries.

A lot of people, myself included, wondered why the Pistons didn’t take DeJuan Blair. And then why they passed on him again. Dr. Ben Wedro, who runs <a...

SO yeah, 160kg
140kg according to The Age article in March

Emerging forward Beau McCreery is making his presence felt on the scoreboard and in the weight room, as Collingwood make a bold start to the new season.

That’s precisely why I was sus when you first went with it and ditto with what he can do now!

Brown was in white for the main session. Noble and Cox in white (from the brief clips I’ve seen) today says to me it was probably about balance not best 22.

With both Checkers and Howey confirmed to play you would think that Checkers will come in for Adams (not a like-for-like replacement, of course). Perhaps Carmichael is elevated to the run on 22 and perhaps Bianco relegated to medi-sub?
