List Mgmt. We Got Him! Beams Trade Discussion (Not the Hype Thread)

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

We talking about the same guy?

I'm desperate for us to get Beams. In his last 50 games he has kicked 59 goals, averaged 29 touches, 4.8 marks & 5 tackles!

He's Top 10 for clearances in that same period, 5th for effective disposals and if you believe in supercoach - he is the 6th best average score for the past 3 seasons.

Pretty keen to get him thanks!
Not saying Beam is a dud, just think Pies won't be easy to trade with. Pick 5 and 25 may not get it done...
 
What is it with people's obsession with ordering a midfield list? Why would we be more inclined to move a player on if the incoming player moves above them on this imaginary 'ranking system'. Has it become a rule now that you are only allowed 6 midfielders on your list at any one time?
 
And I hope to goodness we are not going to be going through the whole Redden, Rich, Rockliff, Hanley, Zorko, Mayes, Aish debate with Geelong supporters now.

Gee I reckon it would have been a quieter time on here last year, and we had 5 wanting to leave..

He's never been quick, but neither has Bartel. He's easily the longest, most accurate kick at the club (arguably the league), so sitting him on halfback and letting him nail 3-iron passes from defensive 50 to forward 50 has it's appeal.

It sounds good having Rich in the backline, however Bartel is very good in the air and think Rich could be found lacking in that area.

Would prefer him operating in between the 50's smashing passes down the forwards throat
 
Tom Hawkins had back problems, can be managed as evidenced this year.
yes but correct me if i'm wrong but i read that christensen has had back surgery twice (sorry if im wrong), Hawkins is a unit though 100kg + back problems are always bound to happen, however christensen isn't the biggest player around still should be cautious

What are you saying? Just because if he tried to mark above his head he would falcon every time...
 
Looking at the suns board, i noticed at least half of their posters have nick malceski avatars. I wonder if we land beams, we will be swarmed with dayne beams avatars here? :p
 
haha so just posted on collingwoods beams thread.... blinder than ray charles! pick 5 and 25 or pick 5 and 19 are an insult apparently

Would Beams become a delisted free agent if the Pies did a dodgy like the Bombers are going to do with Ryder? They'd prob get a first rounder and then we would also trade our first rounder for maybe their second rounder.

Ryder has passed the Free Agency time, Beams has not.

Also every trade has to be seen as advantageous to both sides (there is an actual rule about it) so a straight swap of picks isn't allowed

Beams doesn't qualify as a free agent until end of 2016, so he can't become a DFA.

Also, the AFL would have to ratify that the exchange of our pick 5 for their pick 30 is fair, as it needs to be treated as a totally separate trade. They would not approve that ... the Pies would have to throw in a player / picks to make it look like a "legit" trade.

No coincidence with that weird full moon tonight that we've seen an increase in dribble from magpie gobs on BF and other open forums. It's the smugness that's particularly irritating. Take those picks Edwah so I can absolutely go berserk come weekend.

Woops....

This has actually been my avatar for over a month, way before the Beams story first surfaced :P
