2014 Trade/FA Discussions

Luey is going to monster the competition next year

That's definitive

 

[Loyal Lion]

Umm so how about we pick up Dayne Beames for Pick 4 & Claye Beames?

I would think the opposite would apply. If all are studying Arthur Miller, then they are collectively a single class. (I have made the assumption they are all studying it as a whole). This as opposed to a statement such as "My class are debating" where individually they are acting independently (2 or more distinct groups within the class). I'm not a teacher, mind you, so I won't press the point and concede mine was an understanding and not a taught or learnt knowledge.

Which phrase is correct - the class is or the class are? Is the word class a singular noun or a plural noun? This question cannot be answered with Yes or No. Use the singular if you see the class as a group of students. Use the plural if you see the class as single students.

In British English the plural is used more often than in American English.

Sentence: The class is studying Arthur Miller. = I see the class as a group

Sentence: The class are studying Arthur Miller = I see single members of the class studying Arthur Miller

That should clear things up.

Some of you blokes are like school on a Saturday ...... No class

Which is quoting directly from this week's Fancast. He certainly didn't completely quash the Beams rumour FWIW.

He quite cleverly said something along the lines of "If Beams wants to come here however...".

Why people just post tiny snippets of quotes when there is more there is beyond me.

From memory, he also said: "don't worry, we'll definitely ask Collingwood the question". I took his answer just to imply we're playing above board with contracted players and will ask the club first.

Several of my teachers made the same mistake.

With Rich and Redden back next year who goes out of the side?

Brisbane ready to act on Essendon star Patrick Ryder’s decision

BRISBANE remain ready, willing and able to pounce on disgruntled Essendon star Patrick Ryder. The Lions have been in constant talks with the manager of the ruckman/key forward who is unhappy at the Bombers over the ongoing supplements saga. It is understood that Ryder has met with Essendon powerbrokers in the past few days but is yet to decide if he will stay at the club. Brisbane has been mindful to give Ryder time and space to make a decision about his future.

The Lions have always been the destination of choice if he opted to depart Essendon given his wife has a Queensland connection and Brisbane has significant space in its salary cap to headhunt genuine A-list talent like Ryder and Collingwood midfielder Dayne Beams. Brisbane CEO Greg Swann said last night that the Lions were keeping a close eye on any developments out of the Bombers. “We are monitoring the situation and we will be ready to move once we know of his position,’’ Swann said. The 26-year-old enjoyed an eye-catching 2014 campaign with 20 goals in 21 games along with 26 hit-outs and 13 touches per match.

Year extension for Goose too. Nice. He earned it.

Lester and O'Brien

You would think a fit Staker would be in our best 22?

 

[jackess]

Umm so how about we pick up Dayne Beames for Pick 4 & Claye Beames?

I still think we should trade Beams and Martin for Beams and Martin.

 

[Bert Man]

Lester and O'Brien

Lester has to stay in the squad. He could play as a leading forward/backman and rotate in the midfield. He tends to spread really well from the contest early in games and if he can get his fitness up and do that the whole game he is a starting 15 player. Too good to have in the reserves.

 

[blueiris]

Same but he asked who would Rich and Redden replace both Lester and O'Brien are midfielders

 

[Loyal Lion]

Oh you're being silly now....

And heres Robbo's take.

The Lions are confident Ryder, who has two years to run on a contract, will accept a five-year offer worth an estimated $650,000 a season.

 

[Toffee Lion]

So effectively, how much would be left to offer Beams?

Around 850-900.

Around 850-900.

Big coin, question is - can Collingwood match it?

Doubt it. AFL Great, Travis Cloke, took a lot of salary cap space.
