Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Disagree to an extent. A lot of deals are done before trade week. Players often nominate the club they want to go to before trade week as well. I wouldn't be leaving everything to trade week, or you end up with other clubs' scraps. Some of the best deals are hatched and executed much earlier in the season and at good clubs are kept quiet until they are announced during trade week. Buddy Franklin is one example. 1 Quote

So many variables !! imho Quote

Bring Back Barassi 552 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 OK, so now Beams might be going to Sydney, and the word in the media is that the "sick dad" story is secondary to the money. Beams is EXACTLY what we need. Get to work boys. Quote
SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Gee whiz, Buckley must be pretty bad. Quote

SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) A bit like Mitch and his sick grandma. Or choosing Geelong because his Mrs got into a course down there. After we paid for her course in Melbourne. Edited October 7, 2014 by Lamashtu 2 Quote
Adam The God 30,721 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Interesting development, if true. I'd prefer we took a younger bloke like Shiel before a bloke like Beams. Quote
Adam The God 30,721 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Also, LOL if he landed at Sydney. Eddie would have a meltdown. 6 Quote
SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Collingwood would demand picks 2 and 3. They're hopeless. I still can't believe how they're already discussing what they'll trade pick 23 for on BF forums. Um, news flash, the reason the deal hasn't happened yet is because we ain't giving you our second rounder. Otherwise the deal would be done by now. Quote
Chook 15,068 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 OK, so now Beams might be going to Sydney, and the word in the media is that the "sick dad" story is secondary to the money. Beams is EXACTLY what we need. Get to work boys. Why should we pick him up? So he can get depression, retire, and then go to whoever he wants for basically nothing? 1 Quote
Guest Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Now that Collingwood is officially not dealing with Brisbane, do we try and recreate the Clark play from a few years back? (Hopefully with better results). Logic being that I just can't see him going back to Collingwood after all this has transpired. GC and GWS probably favourites, but we have the picks that could satisfy Collingwood... Just a thought. Quote

daisycutter 30,013 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I thought he said his dad wanted the brothers playing at the same club. i thought clark said his grandma was sick.......................oh that's right, now i remember 3 Quote
Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I would trade pick 2 and 23 for him. That's a bit better than the Lions' offer. Quote
Red Demon 67 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) The whole reason they declined (stupidly) is they want a high pick AND a ready-made player in the Aish/Hanley/Redden/Mayes mould. Good on Brisbane sticking to their guns. Edited October 10, 2014 by Red Demon 1 Quote
KingDingAling 3,758 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I would trade pick 2 and 23 for him. That's a bit better than the Lions' offer. 3 and 12 would get it done for Beams. 1 Quote
SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 3 and 12 would get it done for Beams. Except he'd practically be training next door to the Magpies and wants to go to play with his brother. Quote
KingDingAling 3,758 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Except he'd practically be training next door to the Magpies and wants to go to play with his brother. Yeah, I get that, doesn't hurt to offer. Beams is exactly the type of player we need running through the midfield. Quote
SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Yeah, I get that, doesn't hurt to offer. Beams is exactly the type of player we need running through the midfield. Agreed 100%. I'd love to have him here, and he'd know Dawes & Lamumba. Collingwood would agree to picks 3 and 12 as well, I'd reckon. But he seems pretty keen on going to Queensland... just have a bad feeling about intercepting that desire after the entire Clark debacle... it'll take a while to get over that one. 2 Quote
dees189227 12,509 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 i agree. Beams doesnt want to stay in melbourne. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Does he play with the pies for 1 more year then walk or does he have a year out. Quote
Tyson4Brownlow 154 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Please see my post in the Trengove thread as an update on this. It's too long for me to repeat. Beams is now a live target as I've explained 1 Quote
Jesse Christ 2,884 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I would be cautious targeting him if he really wants to go somewhere else, look how that ended last time! 1 Quote
