Of course he has - he is (we are told) an elite halfback, according to Champion Data, and has not missed a game. Beams is too slow to cut it against the best teams in big games - he's well off where he is, as a "biggish fish" in a tiny pond. It's possible we might have done better over the last couple of seasons against the rubbish (where Beams excels) - but we certainly got the better end of the deal, even just looking at this pair as a straight swap. This is possibly the greatest trade Collingwood ever made.
Agree totally.
Playing the best footy of his career this year. Not only getting plenty of it, but his run is scintillating. A really nice, penetrating kick on the run, an area he has continually improved on.

Behind Dunn, Howe or Langdon?
All of them! Seriously though, Crisp is in the category of automatic selection these days. Here are the automatic picks (a shame six of them are long term injured).
getting Jack has turned out to be an inspired choice
he never misses and just keeps improving
good baulk of Goddard but I reckon old whiner Brendan might have shirked the tackle as well with such a big unit coming at him full tilt
keep on keeping on Jack
