Late bloomer, big unit, big engine.. and in some ripping form at the moment
Could he be that new breed of ruck rover (emphasis on ruck) like a Blicavs?
Either way you know you want that nickname on the list
Height: 192cm Weight: 98kg
Date of Birth: 17/5/1993
Recruited From: Hoppers Crossing/Western U18
Background: ‘The Hoff’ as he’s known amongst teammates, Scott Greenhough has the potential to be an imposing part of Collingwood’s VFL line-up in 2015.
Something of a late developer, Greenhough broke through for his first TAC Cup game in June 2012 and impressed greatly in the second half of the year. On debut he acquitted himself well against an opponent 11cm taller and moved his Western Jets coach Steve Kretiuk to muse to the Maribrynong Weekly that he reminded him of North Melbourne's Majak Daw, "but with more of an engine". Greenhough played played in the finals for Hoppers Crossing in Division One of the Western Region Football League as his side's first ruckman and he was credited as playing an instrumental role in Hoppers Crossing's rise during the first half of 2012.
The story surrounding his 2012 season is even more remarkable considering he was struck down with Glandular Fever prior to the year and was only listed by the Jets as a top age player when they asked AFL Victoria for special permission to take him on board as a result of his medical history. As Western Jets Regional Manager Shane Sexton told the Wyndham Weekly, Greenhough "has terrific ingredients. He's really competitive in the ruck, fantastic around the ground and a good overhead mark."
The ruckman featured in Collingwood's practice match against the AIS-AFL Academy at the MCG in March 2013 and later made his debut for the VFL Magpies against Williamstown at Point Gellibrand in round five, when he competed well against Cameron Wood, winning 10 disposals to go with his 10 hitouts. His second and final appearance of the year was against Geelong at Victoria Park six days later.
In 2014, Greenhough added another seven games to his tally as Magpie. He provides a valuable combination of being a strong presence as a key forward, but also adds ruck prowess and an ability to give relief as a second ruckman.
Dale Tapping Says: Scotty has been with us for a couple of years now. He’s a big boy who’s very fit, but still learning the game in terms of his positioning around the ground. He’s got great willingness to learn and develop.
