Player Watch Zac McCarthy

[granniewolf]

It shows how useless the club. McCarthy has been in our academy for years and the haven't sorted out his tape worm yet.

Was referring to my brother in law, not Zac

They should have sorted out his tapeworm too. We get nothing for our memberships.

Someone’s missing the Whipping Boy thread.

Big Zac to spice it up on the field, kicking bags of bánh mì with coriander and chili

Hell yeah

The Whipping Boy thread is now the Mason Cox thread.

A tall forward who appears to still be growing, McCarthy stood out for the Oakleigh Chargers last season and emerged as 2025 went on.

So they hinting he is in the 200cm+ Now?

The new players you should know about in 2026

As is customary with a new year, there has been plenty of change at the Pies as the Club’s AFL and AFLW teams prepare for another shot at glory in 2026.

Hope so. If he reaches 200cm he could be a genuine star.

At 199cm I fear the best he'll be is a bench warmer.

Just turned 18 in oct, and given his height and development, no reason he can't grow a bit more.
Sam Darcy grew like 5cm after he was drafted

Moore went from 201cm to 204cm

Moore went from 201cm to 204cm

By standing on his toes?

That one cm will make all the difference.

Nah, just his forehead grew a little taller to be able to store that big Collingwood captain premiership brain of his!

And apparently hes killing it at training

I can’t wait to see how good he can be once he puts some muscle on

Reckon we will see Flashes of it this season

oops I was talking about Darcy

 

[ANewDawn]

He looked promising today. He is more solid that I expected and took two excellent marks up forward.

 

[Jen2310]

Did some nice things today. Promising

 

[GoPies1]

Saw a kid running around today that will be our Wayne Carey.
45 years following the mighty pies without ever seeing a big forward dominating
Taylor was ok, kicked 100 but was always well beaten by good fullbacks
This kid looks amazing
I know I will cop it but there is something about him

Subscribe to positive outlook threads like this.

Kid looks very composed and leads bloody well.

 

[Apex36]

Probably a bit premature to be saying such things, and I like the kid a lot.

Love the early crow. Let’s hope you’re right.
