Traded Dayne Beams and pick 67 traded for picks 5 and 25, and Jack Crisp

[The Flying Belgian]

Brisbane are a shambles really. They spend 6 months luring Beams over then when the time comes to actually secure him they decide to play silly buggers at the trade table.

Yep, it was all us.

 

[BEEG]

If we don't get it done this year, which looks possible - then we get him next year.

Probably not as cheap as what many of our posters think, more likely for whatever our first round pick will be next year, but with no sweeteners.

Which hopefully is closer to 10 than 1, but in all likelihood - it will be a single figure pick.

12 Months is a long time

Beams might stay with Collingwood
GWS might offer a Godfather deal
Beams might get his nose out of joint with Brisbane
Beams might just decide to go to GC

Amazing through this whole situation how confident you Brissy supporters have been and none of it has gone to plan yet has it?

 

[SnowRoo]

Don't think its really related mate.
The noise from all parties involved indicate it will be a separate deal.

Pies cupboard is bare for trades.

 

[Zahki]

LOL! Have you considered that Collingwood is being unreasonable in their demands?

Nope. For a player of Beams quality we're actually being very reasonable. If you're trying to lure contracted players everyone knows that you need to make a decent offer because the only way to secure your guy is by going through the club he's contracted to. If Brisbane didn't want to lose any of their good players (of which they have precious little of to offer anyway) then they should have ensured they did have something of worth to us. Thinking pick 5 and 25 would cut it was just idiocy and I refuse to believe a professional AFL recruting team would've thought that adequate at any point.

 

[SnowRoo]

Levi will be dependent on what we get for Harry

Beams has nothing to do with levi

Harry will be Varcoe now.

Cart before horse with Levi it seems.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Yep, it was all us.

Mr Leppitsch,you're trying to seduce me,aren't you?

I thought North wanted more than your 2nd rounder- and you're not going to get that from Melbourne either.

Will Collingwood be willing to offer Levi the same amount of money if Beams stays?

In who's eyes is pick 5 and 25 not enough? Collingwood and it's supporters is the answer to that question.

5 and 25 for one player is fair.

 

[Roosurgence]

I hope so, because he has made his bed, time to lay in it!

 

[SugarCoat]

Will Collingwood be willing to offer Levi the same amount of money if Beams stays?

Yes.
We have quite a lot of cap space.
Currently we have the third youngest list in the AFL.
We are about to unload Lumumba who is on $400 k per year.

 

[captain peanut]

just over an hour to go

i reckon the gold coast suns are watching this space with a very keen right eye....

5 and 25 for one player is fair.

That is just anti-Collingwood bias. Beams will probably be the greatest player to come out of the 2008 draft. Definitely worth pick 5 and a established player for mine.

 

[SugarCoat]

Deal won't get done.

 

[camo85ss]

Sounds like he want be going to the Lions, listening to Schwab.

Beams would be your best mid.
He is a better performed mid than anyone on your list.

 

[TW Sherrin]

with ball, maxwell, lynch, lumumba leaving/retired the answer is easily.

 

[Roosurgence]

Beams would be your best mid.
He is a better performed mid than anyone on your list.

And we wouldn't be asking for 5 and 25 for any of our mids LOL!

So what's your point?

We are just lucky as a footy club that we don't rely on a few to do the job

 

[swiftdog]

Sounds as if Collingwood may have asked for 5, 21 and 25 and a no deal from Brisbane.

 

[GroggSquad]

Only knock I'd have on him is that he has never copped a tag ever. Totally unknown whether he can handle one as of yet.

 

[Roosurgence]

Not biased at all. Just typical overrating of players, pick 5 and 25 is more than fair.

 

[Jonno94]

Looks like he'll go to a different club, probably the Suns or GWS.

 

[Roosurgence]

Sounds as if Collingwood may have asked for 5, 21 and 25 and a no deal from Brisbane.

Sounds like Brisbane have said here's what's on offer, don't like it then piss off!

Beams at Collingwood next year could be a disaster LOL!

 

[SugarCoat]

This is bit of a furphy.
In 2012 Pendlebury broke his leg.
At the same time Dane Swan missed numerous games due to a hamstring injury.
I remember Scott Selwood, who won WC's B&F in 2012 go to Beams twice in the second half of the year.
He completely decimated him and won both games off his own play being tagged.

 

[Sasuke]

Id have taken 25 and 5 without a worry. Planning for ahead is important and a player who wants out will go. The other thing is you could always pick up an experienced played with 25 anyway.
