Player Watch Beau McCreery

I don't think he'll become a good midfielder, he lacks footy nouse. Can't stay in games for long periods. I could be wrong though

There is a move towards separating midfield roles into linking and stoppage players. Ideally mids can do both, but most of the really explosive guys ideal for stoppage can't do the running. At the very top shelf. JHF at stoppage and then gets ahead of the ball and Rozee takes over with the linking play - in terms of the traditional mid role they split it.

Beau's not going to be a linker, but he's really promising at stoppage and has a forward role he can also impact in.

He could become a handy combination with our Big O when he's jumping over his opponents - we've got Nick and then pretty much no one else for the fast breakaway from a centre bounce
