Did he heave to wear the away gear because he was giving an interview in Melbourne? Is that how it works?

D.Beams in his first press conference displays the new club motto of a 'bit of swagger' and has a willingness to talk up the team's prospects which is great. Its been many moons since we've had that at Brisbane. I thought his words related to Buckley sounded pretty genuine and indicate that the media/punter type speculation about widespread discontent at the Pies is probably wrong. My suspicion all along is that the situation there is a bit like Voss at the Lions (sorry to offend anyone - he was a great player!) in that he's a basically decent coach and footy brain but just not the great manager/people person that is required today. Anyway, that's Collingwood's problem...

Sorry to intrude boys and girls. Just wondering if Dayne has a jumper number as yet?
Would he get 16 next to his brother or should that stay with a 'home grown' Lion?

Getting Ash McGrath's #9.

Is he? I must have missed that.

I actually would have preferred Bundy take #9 and Dayne take #3.
Oh well, will take some time getting used to seeing Beams in #9 though.

Beams, who will inherit the No. 9 jumper from retired club great Ash McGrath, was officially unveiled as a Lions player in Melbourne after arriving back from a US holiday overnight.

I have watched that press conference twice now. Wow, I'm seriously impressed with Dayne, he quietly oozes confidence in himself and what he is doing..
...and he has a very sexy smirk too! Oh my wordy, indeed he does
(I still have eyes)

Good luck to dayne at Brisbane. One thing you have to remember before you get too excited is that Dayne really got a ride from people around him like Luke ball, pendlebury, and Dane Swan, dale Thomas back in the day. With your junior midfield he is likely to drop from a 30 touch player to about 17-22 per game. There were stars everywhere taking the better quality match ups which allowed him to play on the lesser quality mids, and has never got a tag. Likewise in the fwd line with Cloke being triple teamed and the likes of Davis, krakouer, sidebottom etc drawing away all the good defenders, dayne had space to get some shots on goal, I don't think he'll have the same luxury at Brisbane. Probably will get the same shock that a Dale Thomas got going to Carlton and finding out he wasn't half as good as he thought he was. Regardless Dayne is a good guy, I've had a beer or two with him at the local and wish him all the best.

Junior midfield.
*rolleyes*
More junk mail.
Rockliff, Hanley, Rich, Redden, Zorko, Leuenberger and Martin all 24 or older.

Sour grapes are real. Just 2 weeks ago, he was an elite midfielder who kicked 1-2 goals a game and got 25+ possessions now he's going to suddenly digress.
We think he'll be fine. Not even going to cop the tag from most taggers next year anyway.
He's going to have Rich, Hanley, Zorko, Redden, Rockliff to support him.

Yea they are ok, but at collingwood he was our 4th best midfielder, at Brisbance he will be the No1 so will get a lot more attention than he's used to.

Ok? Yeah alright you have no clue.
Nah he won't. Get this out of your thick head. He'll be our 3rd or 4th best midfielder. Rich, Hanley and Zorko would all get the tag before him.

Yep, not even worth replying to anymore. Just plain boring and no excitement.
Much like Collingwood's aspirations for next year under Buckley.

On an unrelated note, was interesting to hear Beams say in his presser that he is coming into a stronger, deeper midfield which might free him up to get forward more often.

That's a lot to pay for a 3rd/4th mid. We were paying him 330k. What's he on now 850k or something? We couldn't have afforded to pay him any more so were bound to let him go anyway so not sour grapes from me. Sidebottom surpassed him this years anyway, we've got Freeman coming through, and now Greenwood in on an affordable contract sets us up nicely. broomhead is looking like he will be a direct replacement for abeams only with better vision and football smarts.
