Pies PR machine up and about again. Preparing them hopefully..

How do you "Only manage" 17 games?

How stupid can one person get, whole article is just chest puffing anyway - of course their players are going to be optimistic.

Nothing to do with Beams.

What should Collingwood receive for Dayne Beams?

I love the solitary option of Daniel Merrett.

It got my vote.

 

[Toffee Lion]

At this point I would just tell the ferals to stick it and say we're going to deal with Geelong and get Christensen unless they accept 5 + 25.

Beams will leave them for nothing next year anyway, don't even care where he goes just to see their faces!

 

[Bucking Beads]

I am tired of this whole thing. Collingwood want players. Well none of the players at our club want to play for Collingwood so **** OFF!

 

[jackess]

Would Collingwood need to lose Beams in order to get Dangerfield as a free agent next year? To offer him $1 mil/yr?

Their fans might rate Beams ahead of Dangerfield but if they can get a really good pick for Beams and then replace with Dangerfield for free that would be a good effort.

Should ask Leppa what he thinks.

Yeah, the 'biggest club in Australia' doesn't seem to realise that not many people actually want to play in a fish bowl club any more..

I'm sure he'd be rapt if it just ended up at pick 5.

Interesting that Swann made mention of Collingwood being too busy with other deals to deal on Beams. Where's that leave their "if you don't agree by 5.00pm Friday we'll deal elsewhere" ultimatum?

I think most rate Dangerfield better as do I.

The curios snail writes more about some mob from Melbourne in one item than about the local team in an entire decade?

Probably wanting people to read their back pages hoping that they will avoid their front page headlines?

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

When you hear Pendlebury talking up a 'fresh' 30 year old Swan for next year, you know there's concern.

It is understood the Pies board have discussed the situation and agreed to keep Beams even with the risk of leaving for less compensation next year.....

 

[Tassie4ever]

Might have to walk away from this one, if the latest "Age" article has any substance.

Much less confident than I have ever been, TBH. Was always going to be a big ask.

Good grief yes!

 

[Big Sauce 21]

They've made Avatars.... haha

Bb-but he only played 17 games this year! This recruit is so fresh I've forgotten what he looks like.

Clean cut professional looking fella yeah?

 

[Rowallan Lion]

Time to head off to the salt mines....looking forward to getting home tonight and wafting through 10 pages of this!

Only 7 pages....

 

[John]

No problem with us walking away IMO.

 

[a mayes ing]

Schwab did say that pick 25 might have to go somewhere else. Hopefully North trade with us as we have a higher pick than Collingwood's 30 or something.

 

[mattesideburns]

Well, I'm convinced. Straight from the Pies' mouthpiece, pick 5 plus Dane Swan's fitness is enough to get the deal done.
We should have guessed sooner that the only way to satisfy Collingwood would be to give them another Collingwood player.

 

[James North]

What a ridiculous statement:

Collingwood has suggested James Aish and pick 5 and has acknowledged it would then have to consider adding something else for Brisbane. Brisbane has consistently said it will not trade players.

Do Collingwood realise that he is 18 and was very recently featured in the National Draft?

My favourite line, however, is this one:

North considers Greenwood worth a pick in the 20s and would be prepared to trade him for the pick 25 from Brisbane should that pick be tied into the Beams trade.

Collingwood wants to separate the Beams and Greenwood discussions.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

So we draft a gun at pick 5 and move on (to getting D Beams next year for less). All good.
