If Beams put himself in the draft when would get honestly be taken?

I think 15 or so..

I think 18 and a second rounder (probably making it worth close to 15) is a fair deal.

2 first rounders is overs for a 29 year old.


That’s a fair point I reckon about 12
 
So will we go 4, 5 or 6 Cat A rookies into 2019?

Currently we have four (Mihocek, Appleby, Lynch, Oxley).

Appleby, Lynch are locks to remain there next season. We've committed to rookie-listing Broomhead. That makes three.

Do you think we'll give Mihocek a senior spot? Will we rookie Atu B or Bailey Wraith?
 
Tails1 said he would work the bors if this deal got up. I think that's what he said, I was at work and couldn't believe that was part of the deal.
That was actually Unknown Identity in response to my offer of free gobbys if that deal goes through. He works the balls, I get the shaft apparently... :moustache:
 
The only “mail” Caro gets is Crochet Weekly and Germaine Greer’s latest book of the month.

She has as much credence as a member of a Clearwater Revival cover band that exclusively plays Tabarets.
that's quite an overdose of analogies

or was it metaphors?

THE question mark over Dayne Beams returning to Collingwood is whether it goes against Nathan Buckley’s determination to build for the future instead of the now.

The prevailing view among Brisbane’s football department is the Beams deal will get done by Wednesday night’s 8.30pm deadline.

But it will take plenty to wrest him out of Brisbane given the Lions gave up picks 5, 25 and Jack Crisp four years ago.

On face value handing over pick 18 this year and most likely the Pies first or second-rounder next year would seem to go against those aims of shoring up their future.

But Beams is a star.

He turns 29 in February and might only have two or three more years left at his peak.

So if the Pies were to hand over two first-rounders, would they be selling the farm?

Not when the addition of him to their midfield means they might have the best onball brigade in the AFL.

Few clubs have such a priceless opportunity to do both — get the quick-fix star and build for the future.

And securing talented half-back/midfielder Isaac Quaynor and versatile youngster Will Kelly in the same draft takes care of the future.

It shoild be the best of both worlds for the Pies, a happy coincidence of securing a next generation academy star, a gun father-son and adding Beams.

Beams is a game-changing midfielder mainly because he kicks so many goals.

Collingwood’s half-forwards just couldn’t stop kicking goals this year, but the Pies pure midfielders aren’t renowned goalkickers.

Scott Pendlebury kicked nine in 25 games, Taylor Adams nine in 23, Steele Sidebottom 12 in 26, Jack Crisp four in 26, Brayden Sier two in 12 and Brodie Grundy nine in 26.

Beams averages a goal a game.

Of all full-time midfielders this year, he kicked the sixth most goals.

This year he ranked elite as a goalkicker, elite for contested possessions, averaged 29 possessions, was a great clearance player (5.6 a game), recorded great score involvements (6.5).

His arrival would allow Jordan De Goey to play as that deep forward and he adds to the kind of midfield depth that was lacking when West Coast over-ran them with 18 of the last 26 inside 50s in the Grand Final.

Even if the Pies have to give up a 2019 first-rounder, the net gain of Quaynor and Kelly fixes holes for the medium-term.

Most clubs don’t go wild about medium-sized defenders let alone consider matching bids for them somewhere in the first 15 picks. But Quaynor is a very special package.

Of Ghanian heritage, he has a bit of everything and he shut down SA prodigy Izak Rankine in last year’s Grand Final week rep game and has barely put a foot wrong.

Kelly came of age in the Under 18 national championship for Vic Metro as a big attacking defender who can intercept as well as stop.
 
This can’t be understated... two CatB kids other clubs were all over and performed extremely well in the combine and we got BOTH ... and outside the cap at that.

Having both will surely do wonders for homesickness too. Got a good feeling about this one.

One of the Irish lads will be Cat A. You're only allowed one Irish player on your Cat B list.
 
Yeah I’m sure it has nothing to do with Brisbane chasing Neale.
