Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

And thus, the five-way deal for Beams going to Brisbane is dead.

...Prepare yourselves

The same afl offseason twitter account quoted channel 7 this evening as saying collingwood had accepted 5, 25 and some crisps for beams.

Any truth to the rumour getting around that Pendles wants out?

Well he was a Melbourne supporter *insert cliched groans*

Trading partner comes in black and white and is not a little bird. Didn't need to distinguish it as not being little. Could've just said bird. Almost definitely the swans.

Tom Mitchell seems to have dropped off the radar but yet to be locked in as far as I'm aware?

I've thought ever since Roosy joined us that he will eventually snare a big name from the Bloods. He'd still be close to a lot of players there! Buddy n Tippetts wages simply must squeeze someone outta there, someone whose wage we could pretty much double. Please let it be Luke Parker!

hope the Pies take pick 5 to the draft and pick an absolute dud

Well bloody hell, will people stop using 'AFL Offseason' this and that as sources! Surely you have all learnt by now?

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

They also reported on the news that the Beams to Brisbane deal is all but done. Something about finding a player to add to the trade that both are happy with.

I was only half listening because nobody cares about Collingwood.

FYI Jack Crisp is that player

very dry pants aloons

Surely Jack [censored] Crisp isn't the sticking point throughout this whole Beams saga. Surely

Hmm perhaps our likely trade partner likes to eat little birds though.

Cats come in black and white.

Swans also come in Black and White.

Craig Bird is big

What a legend.

Pendlebury is not a small bird, and he comes from black and white oh my god it's Pendlebury!!

A penguin called Pendlebury?

[DeeSpencer 26,382]

Had already thought about Jack Steven. Wow that would be a gutsy trade from the Saints.

But black and white but not a little bird - Swans or Cats!

Could the cats pull the trigger on Steven Johnson? Would we give up a 2nd round pick for him at 31?

Then the swans have a veritable hit list of players who would be the best on our list. I wouldn't be fussy!

[thevil1 421]

I'm calling it now, GNF is full of it!!!! Built up a few cheap credits & is now cashing in on laughing at us all!!

However, since I'm here...... He said it's 2 players who will clearly be our best talents on our list as soon as they arrive, so better than what Jones was in 2014, it could only mean (and not all of these are CLEARLY better than Jones IMO - I love our captain):

Crows

- Sloane & Danger (Tex not better than Jones based on 2014 IMO but can be).

Magpies

- Pendles & Beams (some would argue Steele is getting up there as well, I don't).

Giants

- Nobody (none better than Jones although Trelore, Sheil, Cameron & other could be next year or after).

Swans

- Kennedy, Franklin, Parker, maybe Hannerberry (I really rate our Jonesy).

Power

- Boak & Grey (plenty of others potentially as good/better than Jones but not clearly better yet).

I'm just going by what clubs others have guessed, I got no idea what the cryptic msg really means.

So realistically which 2 can we land?

Beams is on the market for sure, none of the others are publicly but it's assumed the crows have their work cut out resigning all 3 on big contracts. There's rumors aplenty re Danger and Sydney have been eerily quite, even regarding getting screwed with the COLA changes. Maybe something surprising coming from there? However, I don't see how we get 2 players better than Jones' 2014 out of picks 2,3 & potentially Trenners/Pick23 or 12, unless there's also interest from one of these teams in a Watts or Grimes type (maybe relates to Anderson's tweet about more former high picks to go for trade?).

So, after that waste of 2 minutes as an excercise, at this stage I'm convinced GNF's claim is BS. Of course, if we end up with 2 superstars better than Jones was in 2014 next week I won't be complaining at all!!

[thevil1 421]

Btw, Mitchell at swans would not walk into our team & clearly be our best player, not now (Jones) & probably never with Tyson & Hogan already here.

[hells bells 2,023]

I have no inside info but I'm going to guess

Danger and Hannebury

worst midfield in the comp to one of the best midfield. Love it! Who do you tag? Tyson? Hannebury? Danger? Jones?

theres a lot of scenarios on the table.

one of which is 1 and Jack Steven for 2 and 3.
