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.
A victory for his 100th game is the only outcome.

Might have to start calling DeGoey “steak knives” to keep him grounded.

Loving Jack’s work this year. Beams was leaving anyway. Didn’t want to be here, so to get a player of this quality in the deal was a big bonus. Well done on 100 games Jack Crisp.

The hardest thing to do in elite sport is to improve again after a good year.
Crisp has done this every year during his time at Collingwood.
Congratulations Jack. The consummate professional on and off the field. |

His selling of candy to Goddard last week was pure joy to watch.
Has been a great pick up for us.
Congrats Crispy on your ton. Raise the bat son!

Just one of those guys (like Matty Boyd and Nick Maxwell) who go out and give absolutely everything he has
One player I would pick if I were selecting then after him twenty one others

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).
Maynard [Dunn] Crisp
Langdon, Howe, Berg.
Phillips, Adams, Sidey
DeGoey [Moore] [Elliot]
Stevo Cox [WHE]
Grundy Pendles [Treloar]
[Aish], Thomas, [___], [___]
As you can see, there are only 2 spots that aren't automatic (and 8 spots to fill-in this week).

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
