Was a strange move by Bolton to swap Curnow to Beams. We were lucky to be up at 1/4 time and I don't think Beams' influence was critical in that quarter. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but based on the evidence at the first break I wouldn't have been changing that match-up.

I don't think Beams gave him a choice. Was going nuts. Had to be restricted.

Was exceptional in the 2nd and 3rd but who would you have him ahead of from those 5 listed?

Cutler, Berry and Hodge

Beams had 25 to half time before he swapped.
 
How Beams slipped to the 20's is a mystery for the ages. Wonder if we were close to taking him before the Pies?

Was obviously good enough to back himself.Bit ass-y to turn down that that GC offer but I guess when you're good enough just back yourself.

Yeah I think the move was just before or at half time after Beams had that massive 2nd quarter that split the game open. Zorko from memory had a big 2nd half after that.
Long term I see that as a good thing when teams have to choose who to tag and it lets others get off the chain
 
Name a better duo. I'll wait.

And after all he's been through this year Beams still makes it into the top ten leader board, complete legend.

60 Patrick Cripps (CARL)
59 Nat Fyfe (FRE)
58 Tom Mitchell (HAW)

53 Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
52 Andrew Gaff (WCE)
46 Brodie Grundy (COLL)
45 Trent Cotchin (RICH)
44 Dayne Beams (BL)
 
Cutler had 5 marks inside 50

He really showed up the Carlton wingers with his workrate during the game, becoming a real weapon going forward, and not as much of a liability running the other way anymore. Hopefully its just clicked for him how much damage he can do with his run if he uses it both ways.
