EDDIE really is everywhere.

The champion small forward will join Patrick Cripps on Friday night as an All-Star.

AFL practice match | Eddie snags two

Eddie Betts slotted two goals during the practice match against Collingwood at Ikon Park.

It won’t be the veteran’s first experience of representative football, having featured for the Indigenous All-Stars in 2007 and 2013.

Betts will team with his new skipper in Cripps for the first time in a competitive match, with Cripps arriving in November 2013: a month after Betts departed for Adelaide.

With hopefully a licence to thrill on Friday night, there’s every chance there’s be a classic Eddie moment or two when the best of the best collide.

The champion No.19 - whose number in the State of Origin clash is still to be determined - is one of the greatest small forwards of his generation, contributing 600 goals from his 316 games.

Friday’s State of Origin for Bushfire Relief match begins at 7:50pm from Marvel Stadium.
