List Mgmt. We Got Him! Beams Trade Discussion (Not the Hype Thread)

This isn't far wrong except that we get to keep Beams whom we rate higher than the picks. If you had a contracted player that was wantaway you wouldn't go under your own valuation. You didn't want to trade a player so an agreement couldn't be achieved, not that unfair really.

Yeah if you read you will notice I included Beams in my assessment see "disgruntled employee"
 
Even if you don't get Beams, your club should be applauded by sticking to its guns, and not compromise its integrity in rebuilding going forwards.

What Collingwood fans seem to fail to realize that Brisbane was totally pillaged in last year's trade period (which luckily may turn out to be a blessing in disguise with the fabulous kids you drafted from the go home 5) but The Lions (led by Swanny) have had to make a tough stand and say, 'WE WILL NO LONGER BE BUNNIES FOR OTHER CLUBS TO RAID'

I think Al Christensen and Mitch Robinson will be fabulous additions to your club.

Think you Lions are starting to get their mojo back, as a Carlton fan, i am very jealous of your youth, the good times are coming back to the Gabba, if not next year, then in 2016 and beyond :)
I completely get that but it's kind of different when we have the asset you want. I'm sorry that Brisbane got bent over last year but it's not Collingwoods fault.

Restricted free but also out of contract. So you can offer more money than us and get him or he can walk for nothing and go in the draft or you can trade to get him. We'll probably take less next year.
Thanks for clarifying, mate. ;)
 
Collingwood has played a pretty straight bat through this whole affair, not sure why you would think that the deadline is for show. Brisbane will probably keep putting in offers but active negotiations have ceased and I don't see Collingwood being interested in reopening them, there's no point.

You've got a real shit sandwich on your hands. You've got too emotionally invested in "winning" the trade and getting a player that the club was never going to give up (and in all likelihood had no inclination to go to the Pies) that you can't see the real conundrum you have on your hands.

Man, even with their meaningless deadline, Collingwood still had 6 days to tap up a Lions player and convince them to come to the self-proclaimed greatest club in the land. Not one coconut fell from the tree. What does that tell you.

Can't say it enough... the ONLY deadline is Thursday 2pm.

If Rocky had a sick dad and was under contract, would most of us accept Pick 5 and 25. I rekon we would take that in a heartbeat, especially if we were to get nothing next year. Which is what is going to happen next year.
You have until 2:00pm Thursday. Tick tock Collingwood Tick tock

Saw a pie flog just say that GWS would surely offer pick 4 +7 for Beams:D
Interesting thought considering GWS currently don't have pick 7 ... and they don't want draft picks.

Pies fans do remember you only get Beams for 12 months right? You dont secure him past that. Id rather 5 & 25 for multiple years than Beams for 1.
No one wants to get bent over though. What you say is right but this year we don't have to take unders. Next year maybe.
 
FFS, now that this bullshit deadline has passed, can we stop the "lol, look at what those jerks on the Pies board are saying now!"

I don't care what they are saying.
Agreed. Getting very tedious.
 
Should post this on the collingwood board
Please don't. A heartfelt comment from a bloke who has just lost his dad shouldn't be used in some bullshit Internet pissing contest.

It wasn't for an internet pissing comment. It was for some of them who didn't think we valued beams. even though we did, and we wanted him to come here
 

I just wanted this crap to be over, I'm sick of hearing about it to be honest.

Time to END THREAD and move on!

Personally,

I am pretty excited about pick 5, lots of potential there for a great player or maybe another surprise trade?

How about we start again in a new "What do we do with Pick 5" thread....
