While we have to pay for Beams which some seem to forget, I would have preferred to offload pick 30 & keep 25. I know it's only 5 picks but there's something psychologically pleasing in a pick in the 20's compared to a pick 30. Otherwise I agree with your response but would keep it till friday COB just to f*ck with Brisvegas who have played an undermining role with Beams no doubt in relation to Collingwood.RudeBoy wrote:Why? We said we wanted pick 5 and a top ready made strong bodied midfielder. We've got that with this deal. Greenwood is possibly better than any player on the lions list, considering he came equal 2nd as the Roos best player, in a team which made it to the Prelim.Raw Hammer wrote:Apparently they have tweeted an announcement of a new young Lion to commit ... rumours are that it's Pick 5 and 25, essentially Pick 5 plus Greenwood for beams.
Gross. Collingwood ... you no longer have my membership next year if this is the case. Sorry, but this ain't hardball if true.
Wow. just ... WOW!
Spineless.

Pendles, Sidey, Broomhead, Freeman are our polish, while Adams and Greenwood are our grunt. It's a good balance I reckon.Raw Hammer wrote:Greenwood had a breakout year. He's hard at it, but is not elite like Beams. He doesan't finish like Beams. He got 1 Brownlow vote. Beams finished Top 10-15. At Collingwood we find it hard enough to develop SUPERSTARS, and we lose one for a kid and 25 year old hard nut. I hope to be proved wrong, but I wanted a polished player in this deal.

WHERE is Rocketronnie when we need him??
THIS is what he consistently posts about, Collingwood getting nothing for Beams if they don't trade. Why doesn't HE have a go at such posters??
RR, where are you dude???

Brisbane's offer as reported in the Age online 1145 today:
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/b ... z3FVi3yb6k
That is, picks 5 & 25 for Beams.
Can people pls settle & discuss ideas/options/choices. Whether it's too low or too high who TF Knows. It's merely speculation on all parts.
Now I don't want to be cliche about this but it is what it is (an offer) & we'll all know in the fullness of time, when the moment is ripe & at the appropriate juncture. What's that Bernard?

To leave I call that disgruntled, why he is disgruntled
Is a different story, he is & doesn't wanna play for us
As I said we can get 5&25 now or 9,10,11 next yr
What would you prefer?

Getting absolutely bloody nothing for Beams is seen by some tools here as a WIN......
