Can't see him going back to the pies after this. Will be very interesting to see where he ends up.

    I thought he said his dad wanted the brothers playing at the same club.

    I've just read the post about Beams fathers illness severity.

    its gotta be a 3 way deal; or its another player we want the pick for?

    after reading further about his dad illness, he has to get to QLD.

    Someone on the Trenners thread is stating Beams is close to trade to us.

    Even if it happens how the hell would it work with his old man so ill. He should be traded or sit out until he is able to give 100%.

    It brings back bad vibes of almost the same thing that happened with Mitch..

    Makes me really, really nervous that we'd consider this so soon after the Clark disaster.

    I think we all wish we'd never intercepted that trade with Freo. Nice to see Neeld's legacy come full circle as a complete and utter disaster in every single way.

    Do elaborate? Is it him scoring 120+ supercoach every week....getting 32 touches and kicking 3 goals.....in black and white.....that bugs me also. Would feel much better if he did it in red and blue though!

    I'd like to see Melbourne trade for Beams if for no other reason than to see the massive tanty Greg Swann would throw when pick 3 is included in the deal.

    I don't think we're making a move for Beams. It's Danger or someone else that hasn't figured in discussions as yet. I reckon we won't put all our eggs in one basket and keep one of 2 or 3. That's all I can think of - we need to give a few more away.

    Or is it the extra 5 - 10 possessions Jones and Tyson will each get because the opposition sends their best tagger to Beams?

    If we make that play for Beams, we will have another Clark on our hands. We do not need to be a stepping stone for players, we need to be the destination. Beams will wait out the year at the pies then go to the Lions.

    Stevo mentioned tonight on 7 dont discount melbourne going after beams and may involve there pick 3. No way should we do that. I just know he will want to go back home.

    There's a rather delicious irony if the priori...Frawley compo pick secures us Beams and [censored] over Swann, especially after his little tanty the other week.

    What exactly would be the Lions plan next year to trade him in? They'll have picks with worse currency and will still refuse to trade any players to Collingwood for him.

    He won't make it through the PSD to them, and if he does, Collingwood are giving him up for nothing?

    AFLPA are pushing to get the time limit lowered for free agency. He will be the poster boy for this cause, sick dad a club that doesn't play nice and Geelongs example of helping a player on compassionate grounds. That and Brisbane will make it happen and get the picks need to make the trade. His management will work the same angles as Ryder's and apply public pressure. Could you imagine the public views of the filth if Beam's father dies. The pies would become bigger social pariah's than the already are, and that would be quite a feat even for them.

    Those who had Beams in their supercoach sides and watched him closely - will be happy to see this trade happen.

    Footballers footballer. Goal kicking midfielder, gets his ball on the inside and out. I thought he was Collingwoods best this year.

    Exceptional player and extremely unlikely pick 3 would become half the player Beams is.

    Can't see why Beams is Clark 2.0. Different person, different brain, different personal circumstances.

    I'm all for learning from the past, but the only thing to learn from that particular past is that Clark is a [censored]. The rest is irrelevant.

    There's a lot to be said about the character of a guy who chooses money over family.

    And that became abundantly clear over the last month.

    None of us know the exact situation, I wouldn't be too quick to judge.

    These are professional footballers, with a short career that could be ended every time they step onto the field. I don't begrudge them their right to maximise their income.

    In any case, not sure what more Beams could have done to get to Brisbane?

    But now the cat's out of the bag, hard to see him going back either - though Dustin Martin tried his hardest to leave Richmond and had to eventually back down. On that note, will be interesting to see who calls whose bluff re Griffin/dogs.

    I posted this on the Trengove thread and personal circumstances are slightly different but

    • Clark wanted to return to Perth due to homesickness and a sick relative
    • Beams wants to return to Qld due to a sick father
    • Clark made an 11th hour change of heart due to more money being thrown at him
    • Beams father is still sick nothing has changed
    • AAMI Park and the Westpac Centre are the same distance form Qld
    • The Suns play in Qld but Paul Connors has told them Beams wants to play in Brisbane
    • Brisbane have more money in their salary cap and have offered a large pay increase to Beams
    • Gold Coast do not have as much salary cap room and the offer to Beams would not be as large
    • Beams father lives closer to the Gold Coast then he does to Brisbane
    • and Beams father is still sick, if my father was sick the Pies would trade me because they would already have been told I would sit the year out and spend it with my father as I would forever regret not spending that valuable time with him

    and I don't care what money they pay me it can't by that valuable time

    • 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.
