Stats
Bio
Recruited from Reservoir YCW and a product of the football factory at Parade College, Greg Beck was a diminutive rover who broke into the Collingwood senior side as a 17-year-old. Standing just 170cm and weighing a slight 66kg, Beck relied on his pace and sharp ground-level skills to compete against bigger bodies in the heavy conditions of the era. He showed immediate promise in his debut 1973 season, hitting the scoreboard and managing to hold his spot for the First Semi-Final against Carlton—a significant achievement for a first-year player. Despite that bright start, he fell out of senior contention the following year, returning for just three appearances in 1975 before his brief VFL career came to a close.
