    You have to throw in Brent Moloney to Melbourne as well. No wait ... he retired, didn't he?

    Ok, throw in Zorko.

    Presume the Lions were planning for Beams to extend his Pies contract by a year so it expired at end of 2016 which would coincide with him becoming a restricted free agency.

    Interesting to see what Lions offer. Pick 4 is the obvious starter but if I were them I'd hold the line and offer only a player outside of their core players. How much will they want to pay for a player who could come to them for nix in 2 seasons as a restricted free agent or for below market value in 1 season as an out of contract player.

    I'd have thought that GC would be into him, good quality experienced finals player...

    They're ready to start topping up for a tilt over the next 2-4 yrs.

    Ah...such a happy place for someone prone to depression to want to move to.

    I hope he goes there and I hope they plummet. That would make me very, very, very happy.

    Are we comng into an era where we will see more players requesting moves before their contracts expire for special circumstances?

    Seems all you have to do these days is just have a little whinge and request a trade and away you go..

    Not sure Beams is having a whinge. His dad has just beaten cancer and he wants to be closer to him. Players go home often, pretty reasonable circumstance to want to go back to Queensland for mine.

    Ed just said his dad is suffering from cancer so probably shouldnt be laughing that a player is leaving there club. But brisnane or gc would have to give up a fair bit.

    Geez Collingwood are turds.

    They're perfectly willing to pillage our player who wants out for personal reasons when it suits, but when their own player wants out, they tell him basically to get stuffed and tell Brisbane he is worth more than a pick 4.

    I hope the karma bus drives straight over the top of the lot of them.

    In fact, what would be much better is to do what most other world sports do and give the players the freedom to move when they want to, within very broad parameters. The idea of 'owning' the rights to players and therefore holding them hostage is ludicrous. The idea of my employer being able to direct which competitor I can and can't work for is just laughable and I'm yet to hear a good reason why footballers should be any different.

    So many Pies fans crying foul over Beams and demanding their pick four yet think it is OK to [censored] Clark and give MFC nothing or a late pick. Karma.............. They have a reputation as the most difficult club to deal with in trading and expect the world in return for peanuts.

    Think Essendon still own the number 1 tag. At least Pies attempt to get deals done. No team happier about free agency than Essendon. None of this pesky negotiating with other clubs and their unrealistic player evaluations.

    Absolute myth that Collingwood didn't know.

    Has been rumoured all year.

    He becomes a restricted free agent at the end of 2015, from what I understand, and will walk if they don't trade him.

    I have a six pack riding on him being at Brisbane by 2016 season.

    I'd imagine once Beams dad was diagnosed, this was on the cards. Rumours started floating around July. Apparently his dad would love the Beams boys to play in the same side.

    No its not. You want to play in our comp that's the deal. Just like the drugs code you sign up to.

    If you don't want to play, fine. Go somewhere else.

    God help us if we end up like the EPL.

    Could we potentially get involved in this one though? If the Pies want two Top 10 picks could we get one of their mids for one of our picks? Possibly someone like Jack Redden?

    Probably won't happen if our interest in Danger comes to fruition, but I hope the club is keep an eye on things.

    I didn't know that was the case, so I apologise for my insensitivity.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
