Beau McCreery

[doodle48]

Should we look at trying to recruit him?

 

[moses]

Is he contracted?

 

[Samcro24]

I said in another thread his partner seems like the type that wouldn’t live in Adelaide. But who knows.

 

[woopedazz]

I think he's an exceptional athletic talent. Skills are decent. If he's cheap, we should prioritise him. If he's expensive, probably target others.

 

[1990crow]

With Keays, ANB, Rachele and Rankine in the team, would we actually have room?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I like him as a player but there doesn't seem to be a Murphy-sized hole for him to slot into like there was with ANB

 

[Scorpus]

I'd get him. 24 years old and we've played Taylor, Pedlar, Murphy and Cook this year for significant games

5 years younger than ANB and 4 years younger than Keays. There's room

 

[Cleric]

I'd get him. 24 years old and we've played Taylor, Pedlar, Murphy and Cook this year for significant games

5 years younger than ANB and 4 years younger than Keays. There's room

I would rather push Pedler and Cook.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's potentially Draper's spot in the 22
High half forward/mid

 

[Carn The Texan]

I would rather push Pedler and Cook.

If McCreery was actually on our list would you be playing either of them ahead of him?

 

[Iridescence]

Has this question been posed in a vacuum, or are there legitimate questions about his future at Collingwood?

 

[Cleric]

If McCreery was actually on our list would you be playing either of them ahead of him?

Yep. Theres not much difference between them, and in my eyes. Rather we use the ones we have rather than bring in another at the same level.
If you are talking about Pickett then of course, but not Beau.

 

[PeterSalt]

Has this question been posed in a vacuum, or are there legitimate questions about his future at Collingwood?

There seems to be rumblings coming out of Collingwood that some players are getting a little miffed and may be open to change.

Stems from the recent influx of players traded in on good coin, and players who have been loyal to the club throughout their careers getting lowballed

I think there was talk of Jamie Elliot and GC as 1 example

No idea if McCreey is legit or folk are spitballing because he's from SA

 

[ams4crows]

There are other teams in Victoria who need a player like him way more than we do. Essendon and Carlton would both be putting their hands up for him, even Richmond to get an older player in.

 

[Coopers]

That's a made up name, isn't it?

 

[Apsaalooke]

Come home Beau, it's time

 

[Crouch]

I don't know much about him - but looking at his stats, seems to be quite meh?

Doesn't kick many goals. Only 10 last year and 7 this year.

We already have two high pressure/defensive forwards in Keays and ANB.

We need attacking small forwards.

 

[whattagun07]

Won't happen but heck I'd love Elliott at the crows for 2 years.

 

[Peter Doherty]

No thank you.

 

[Mutineer]

Is he contracted?

Until 2027.

 

[Mutineer]

Come home Beau, it's time

Might be a flashy player but his stats don't look over enticing to me bearing in mind he's been playing in a very good team..

 

[PeterSalt]

On McCreery, he has 2 years left on his contact and Collingwood rarely lose players they want to keep

Apparently it's come from Sam Edmund:

Rumours of player unrest are swirling at Collingwood, with a series of stars either linked directly to trades elsewhere or reportedly unhappy with their current contract offers.​

​

The Magpies surrendered top spot with their loss to Brisbane on Saturday night, and having lost three of their last four matches are in real danger of missing out on a top-four berth.​

​

Adding to their issues, star forward Jamie Elliott, who has 48 goals in 20 games to comfortably lead the Pies’ goalkicking, is reportedly weighing up a move to Gold Coast at season’s end, when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.​

​

According to SEN‘s Sam Edmund, the 32-year old has a two-year contract offer on the table from the Pies, but a move north holds interest for the once-injury-prone goalsneak.​

​

Pressure forward Beau McCreery is another Pie linked to a trade to the Suns, but he has two years left to run on his contract, allowing the club to retain him should they wish to.​

​

Of more concern might be veterans reportedly unhappy with both the size of the contracts offered to them by the Magpies, as well as the club’s willingness to splash cash on big-money recruits in recent seasons, with Carlton’s Jack Silvagni

potentially adding to that haul.​

 

[FR0GGY]

Apparently has no interest in football outside the games.

 

[Coopers]

Apparently has no interest in football outside the games.

Yeah. That's like me and beer. I have no interest in it outside the drinking.

 

[Trigger13]

If Chayce friggen Jones can get a game in our team, I’d say Beau would be quite the list improvement
