To help people make a balanced view of all this, I can reveal that the Demons are looking to trade into the Top 15 in order to offer two first round picks, in this case 3, 12, for Dayne Beams.

Paul Connors has conceded that Brisbane is not an unlikely option for Dayne now, and you will notice that Collingwood are now publicly reporting they are open to other offers for Dayne.

Melbourne is asking for pick 48 in return from Coll, and this is believed to be enough to get Sam Frost into the club. It's believed Collingwood will only have 4 picks at the draft this year, and with 3, Moore, 12 and 30, then 48 may not be required anyhow. However there is work to be done to convince Dayne to accept terms with another Vic club, but I'm confident in what I'm hearing that remaining @ Collingwood is now his last resort.

Pick 3, 12 for Beams and 48

Or in effect

Frawley, Trengove and pick 23 for Beams and Frost

How does that look everyone? Win wins around I think...

My credibility in all this? I can't give away my place of employment but im in regular contact with Connors Sports Management, Dayne's management group, and have been particular busy today as his future today included Melbourne entering the picture...

Plenty to play out but the above will become public knowledge soon enough I'm sure, happy to give my fellow Demonlanders the marginal heads up first

Thanks JJH, just to let you know this will be front page HS tomorrow.

If this happens I will put my member in the microwave.

Ouch.

After reading the article on the club website, I've a feeling this will eventuate.

Another great point, club getting us ready for it. Normally anything speculative is on the AFL page or social media.

heart would like it not to happen, nobody can deny his commitment. Head says it may be a good deal, always injured, never really set the place alight, my only thinking is that the club have some idea of using these pics for something big!

In Roos we trust, still, wold be sad to see him go, seems to be a decent fella, but no sentiment in the footy business.

The club's response would suggest this is happening. Didn't need to say anything at all, or could have flat out said no (see Leppa's tweet re Pendles yesterday). Will be sad to see him go, but it's a ruthless industry.

Spot On..

Not sure if it's the club getting us ready for it, or just trying to control the speculation. Either way I like the way the club has operated throughout this whole thing - we've heard nothing at all that we didn't need to hear, and when we did need to hear things it's been delivered in a sensible fashion. I'm impressed.

Edit: JJH has probably blown it by giving Purple and co some very juicy fodder though.

I don't particularly mind if the deal turns out to be for Dangerfield, Beams or Sheil, l would just rather be trading Grimes before l traded Trenners, especially when the Club we are talking about is Richmond and Jack (Grimes) can join his brother Dylan! Now that would cause happiness all round!

I'm not worried. Surely the club know what we are doing. Roos ain't stupid. Time to calm down.

Fair call, not quite the Justin Leppitsch tweet. Done professionally.

Exactly, clubs refrain from posting articles about rumours and innuendo, and I couldn't see them writing a piece on discussions and an offer nobody knew about until tonight, just because it has popped up in the media.

The line about 'The Demons are aware he is a popular and loyal figure' really adds to the feeling that it is likely to happen, for me.

He doesn't want to go apparently

WHAT THE [censored]!?

Not only will I be [censored] off if this happens but what happened to the club saying they weren't bringing in much youth?

I can only hope that a bigger trade is looming if this does happen. I really don't want trenners to go.

Now Adelaide to consider trumping Richmond for Trengove:

"Is reluctant, but would not block the trade".

Jack's a good kid and will understand the nature of the game and how the system works. He'll hate the idea to start with due to his loyal nature, but eventually he'll get over it.

Even if it is part of a bigger deal that has us celebrating, I'd still be sorry to see him go. Bittersweet.

Crows said to be offering a swap for Trenners and pick 23 for their pick 10. Trenners has come currency on the table.

In the article linked by Roger Mellie a few posts above.

I am sure there are reasons but I hate this sort of thing.

He is a quality individual and wants to stay.

Really hope it doesn't happen.

People that think Trenners has no value better think again

I WOULD DEFFS PREFER IT EVEN HE WENT TO ADELAIDE RATHER THAN FUKIN RICHMOND

How about 2, 23 & Trengove for Dangerfield & 10

Then give 3 & 10 to the Pies for Beams & 48

48 to GWS for Frost

or he's selling his catch of red herring.

Surely there is far far more to this than any of us here know anything about: MUST be part of something huge.

Or some sort of Roos ruse.

Watch this space.

MUST be part of something or might not be anything?

How about 2, 23 & Trengove for Dangerfield & 10

Then give 3 & 10 to the Pies for Beams.

We need atleast 3 live picks in the draft.

Looking at that we have absolutely no picks whatsoever.

If he has currency, I'd be removing 23 from the deal...
