The "What do we get for Beams?" thread

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

I think we have already told them we don't want Merrett or another tall defender. We need mids & I'm pretty sure we have told them so.

Of course we don't want Merrett but Melbourne have expressed some interest so I'm throwing up his name as a possible way we can go from pick 5 to 2.

It would have to be a 3 way deal between us, Brisbane and Melbourne.

It's like you were reading my mind!!! We can do a few things in regards to this if they want Merrett and Lumumba.

If we can't upgrade pick 5 then picks 8 and 15 from GCS are suddenly more appealing or pick 8 and a suitable player.

I would how Hine rates Lonergan?

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

If we can't get the man we want via low picks, we might be better off taking a chance on a few maybes in the mid-high teens via a swap??

Word on the street is the Lions "might" get the Giants end of first round compo in exchange for Patfull, obviously that pick would become ours along with pick 4 and their original second rounder.

So picks 4-20-23 for Beams.

Another second rounder Harry.

In turn giving us picks 4-20-21-23-27

We trade pick 20 for Greenwood.

We trade picks 21 and 23 for a midish first rounder.

The club would be well aware that the 4 players they asked for would not be handed over.

I suspect a realistic option may become evident in the next day or two.

I'd be happy with pick 4 & Rich and then push for the steak knives, swap 2nd round picks with Brisbane.

I like. 4, Moore, Greenwood, 12 (or so) 27 in for Pies = Beams, Lumumba out. Make it happen Defender

Do you guys read... pick 4 is not on the table anymore, the 'bears' only have pick 5 due to Melbourne's compo pick

It makes us feel better.

it was always going to be that way. nominally pick 4 until the compo pick was confirmed.

[John Wren]

I'm 99% sure you can't on-trade players

shame, could've taken patful and ontraded him to gws or something.

Yep, players can't be traded within 12 months of signing a contract, also pretty sure ND picks aren't allowed to be traded until the completion of their second year, I'm not 100% sure but I thought that rule was brought in to help the expansion teams hold onto draftees, if that rule is still in place Aish cannot be traded.

Quoted the wrong post BTW.

[swoop42]

I'd be surprised if they get pick 20 for a bloke turning 30 in December unless an exchange of other picks is involved.

He's two years older than H.

[jackcass]

OK, whatever. You're entitled to your opinion and I'll just hang on to the correct one.

i'd rather have danger and sloane over beams any day.

Yep.

[jackcass]

You can't but nothing against 3 or more clubs being involved in trades.

On 3AW a few minutes ago, Caroline Wilson said Collingwood had every right to be holding out and would not accept just a draft pick. She went on to say that Collingwood will do a deal and that she believed a deal would be announced tomorrow. She refused to say more because it was another journalist's story.

Let the speculation begin.
