Surely its a win/win. De Goey and Crisp have probably exceeded expectations this year and Greenwood will make us a better team, but would Brisbane give back Beams to get them? Doubt it

I've thought all along that the Beams deal was great for a team that was moving into their premiership window.
Here's a 25 year old at the prime of his career, he's 2-3 years away before there's any down turn at all which is perfect for a team about to have a crack at a flag.
The problem is the Lions aren't anywhere near it, in fact they are further away now then when they recruited him.
It wasn't entirely their fault either, Beams was forced upon them a bit, and in the end they over paid just a little.
Long term we will win the trade, mainly because of De Goey and Crisp, but Beams will win multiple best and fairests up there.

We won't see him again this season, going in for surgery apparently to fix that shoulder.

They certainly did. Funny how things turn out sometimes isn't it, who would have thought that Crisp would have a better year than most/all of those guys they didn't want to give us. Almost makes you think there may be a silver lining to our current losing streak at some point in the future
3 good players do not equate to one AA quality player if you want win flags. if you want to get out of the bottom 4 then that's a different story. We didn't win the trade we got what we could for a player we really needed. De Goey is swing in the deal. It all depend on whether he end up serviceable v excellent/AA quality.

Never thought I'd have said this when the trade went down but yeah, I agree. The only issue for Brisbane is that Beams might be developing some injury problems between this and 2013 I think it was? Who knows, time will tell.
People on this board clearly overreact given the emergence of De Goey and Crisp and that's fair enough!

One of the few trades that is categorically a win/win from Day 1.
Give it 3-4 years with the development of Crisp and DeGoey and maybe we will be clear winners.

Funny how being the number 1 man, day in, day out, attracts more attention, especially off the ball and getting slammed into the ground.
He's body will be shot by the time he's 30.
Still, the trade was a clear win/win. It's a shame Brisbane fans don't see it that way or they wouldn't be so bitter towards us.
considering we are still talking about MM I imagine that unfortunately it will be quite a few years yet before this topic dies.
He's got 8 years left

Dayne Beams has only had one more AA quality season than any of the others... And it was three years ago now

Not at elite level, he's a star but he's one paced and won't age well, not been all that durable over the journey either
