Has he earnt one? How often is he regularly in the bests?
Quite often ... has been really good so far and is a developing player. I can liken Hinge to another player who was on our list who we didnt really give a go over his 2 or 3 years and eventually traded him to collingwood... jack crisp. Dont want to see Hinge go elsewhere for opportunity and turn his potential into something we should have developed better ala jack crisp.

Now that you mention it he does play a similar style game to Jack Crisp, I agree that he needs to get a go this year in the seniors. On Crisp IIRC he was tracking nicely and just starting to come good at the back end of his final year with us.

He did lose a spot in their midfield at Collingwood even before Beams came back. Not sure anyone could’ve predicted that he’d be quite a good half back otherwise he might’ve been moved on.

When Jack Crisp went to collingwood in the beams deal they were very optimistic about him being a regular 22 player despite only playing a handful of games and thats coming from inside collingwoods inner sanctum. He wasnt just a steak knife in the beams deal. They targeted him.

Collingwood moved him to halfback because they could see his lock down ability his run and carry his good skill level and his footy brain. Need smart footy brains in the back half. Also collingwood loaded their midfield with treloar and adams to go along with pendlebury sidebottom and co, not a lot of room in there unless you are an absolute premium. Collingwoods talent identification over the last 5 years has been A+. Have built an elite side.

Read somewhere that he has excellent disposal by foot which was the main reason we drafted him

All in collingwoods best 22 all recruited in the last 5 years either via draft or trade. If we use that as a guide, we are proabably 3 years into our 5 year build. When the chistensons robertsons lesters etc r gone and we have recruited well over next two years we could be an upper echelon team.

Crisp was really solid in the back half of 2014 and it was pretty evident to a lot that he was turning into the exact player that he has now become.
