The Age reporting a blockbuster 5 club trade:

Collingwood: lose Beams, Lamumba Gain Pick 5, Varcoe, Greenwood, Jack Crisp (or pick from trading him)

Brisbane lose: pick 5, 21, 25 and Jack Crisp (or pick from trading him). Gain Beams, Christiansen

North Melbourne: lose Greenwood Gain pick 25

Geelong lose: Varcoe and Christiansen Gain pick 21 and Mitch Clark

Melbourne lose: Mitch Clark Gain Lamumba

Looks fairly balanced.

Fairly good for Collingwood in my eyes with Brisbane paying overs for Beams. Think Geelong win a little trading Varcoe for Mitch Clarke (hope MFC get a bit more from them)

Still reporting that Melbourne pick 23 + trengove for pick 12 or 10. Hope this is for a really good player trade like 2 very good GWS players:

picks 2, Evans and 12 for Shiel, Green/Tomlinson and Frost.

Tomlinson went to the same high school as Dom Tyson so could be a link there.

I'd like a late 3rd or 4th round pick thrown in somewhere for Frost (leaving our PSD position still open just in case someone else pops up and it is still a good threat to other teams in negotiations for this week too). But it seems pretty settled we're happy with just Lumumba for Clark.

Also, reckon North will push to receive pick 21 rather than 25 for Levi as Geelong appear to be winning that trade big time (I rate Christensen but they've been shopping Varcoe for years for some reason & Christensen has gambling/off-field issues, although Clark is a risk too I suppose).

Apparently no-one really inquired about him!

Not suprised. I think last off season there would be a few clubs would have backed themselves to get more out of him. But after watching another insipid year, this time under Roos, I think everyone has given up hope.

Beams may be a demon next year.

Sounds unlikely, reports that Brisbane are giving up Crisp.

We are offering more than Crisp

Interesting

Beams is a very good footy player - I can't see him at the Dees as the only reason he's leaving the Pies is to be closer to his dad.... I don't know why the MFC would be invoied

Am not saying you're lying PB but it don't make sense to me

If the Pies refuse to deal with Brisbane - then maybe GWS is an option for Beams? Which is why I can see us being involved to get a GWS mid, picks (2 or 3) to pies and beams to GWS (as they'll be trading for Griffen as well I can see them giving up something)

And geting picks for Trengove to facilitate this trade makes sense - otherwise I have no idea what we're doing - I don't see us chasing picks

Interesting times

Let me just say, Beams wants out of pies full stop. His preference is Brisbane but collingwood couldn't care less.

I'm not saying he will definitely be a demon (like Goodwin) but I can tell you we are into him in a big way.

Mitch Clark left Brisbane once because he wanted to go home......

And look how that ended up..

A risky move by Roos and co - Beams is an absolute star though

Cheers for the info PB

And then left Melbourne.

Do you actually think for a second we would get all 3? We'll be extremely lucky to get one of those players.

I think we'll get one of those GWS blokes, I dunno who, but I expect us to land one. Particularly, if we don't land Dangerfield. At this point, I'm quite happy to be positive in my ignorance.

Danger would be 2 high picks alone at least!

No, he wouldn't. One high pick, plus a late first rounder or second rounder will do it. Remember the Judd trade? Particularly, as pick 2 or 3 will be better than pick 10 for next year.

AF (good initials there by the way) if we manage to get them 3 I'll be over the moon but in reality if we land them 3 I think our Round 1 game will be being played in Disneyland. Roll on Thursday when the crazy season ends

Best time of year. Just let our imaginations take us away...to Disneyland apparently.

I refuse to believe that Melbourne will do a multi club deal that only sees us with HL in return for Mitch Clark. Surely Mitch as a power forward is worth more ( such as a second round pick 21 from Geelong that they may get from Brisbane for Chistianson)! Otherwise why not do a direct swap with him to Collingwood?

Santa Clause may also be a demon next year too PB!!

He could take Frawleys spot down back.

Would be a better player too!

With all the trade action, it is hard to believe Watts is not being shopped. Surely he will feature in dispatches.

He is.

This is the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. I have been muted so no names will be mentioned, but if all goes to plan we will end up with 2 A Graders plus pick 2. The 2 players would enter our list as the 2 best players on our list. Roos may need to settle for a less experienced likely A Grader (a Tyson like) but this is not plan A. Don't be surprised if at least 1 of the players gained has been unmentioned on DL or the media. We are the main player in a massive game of chess. Roos is already a legend, on Thursday evening he may have become a God. A Demon God no less.

In that case its too much (2&3)

I don't want Danger for 2 & 3+ ...... no thanks. would shop hard for him next season F/A

And I'd still prefer Shiel & Greene & Frost for a P-2 & 12.

Or a Shiel & Green for P-2, 23, 40something

You do know how to make a grand entrance GNF

I'll be deeply saddened to see Trenners go, but you are making it sound alot more bearable.
