Nah I get it. You just come off as a little salty.
I am jealous of a good academy pick. The Beams trade not such a big deal. We did well out of it.

We wont know for a few years yet how good or bad this trade was. At the moment Collingwood has given up pick 21(this year) and next years first probably pick 14-20 for Beams and a pick in the 40s which helped us pay for pick 13 (IQ).
On paper Colling has traded out our first and second picks this year and our first round pick next year. So thats :
Picks 21, 42 (both Brisbane picks in the end) from this year, pick 14-20 (2019) and Fasolo out.
For picks 13, 29, Beams and Murray.
If Murray wasnt going to be suspended the Pies would have looked pretty good right now.
Yes, the Lions did do well. You're right saying the move wasn't genius.
We were fortunate to have a quality academy player available. The system definitely favoured us. I'm sure there's some decent academy players for Brisbane coming through. Swings and roundabouts.
But we should rightly be very pleased with the way it all worked out!
Why are lions supporters so desperate to convince everyone that they screwed us in this trade?
Like many have said, this is clearly a win-win.
Stop obsessing over winning trades and focus more on winning games for starters...

I think we got screwed over personally, if we managed to get Crisp back it would have been a win-winWhy are lions supporters so desperate to convince everyone that they screwed us in this trade?
Quaynor was always going to be the first player we took, either by matching or with the original pick. We rated him very highly internally. So it's a moot point.They could've used pick 18 on someone else or another pick. Might've been able to trade pick 18 and 2019 first for a pick before the Quaynor bid.
I don’t think 2 late first rounders equaled a top 10 pick in this draft. No club would’ve gone for that.Trading 18 and 2019 first could have been traded for a top 10 pick which would precede a bid on Quaynor. But Beams is preferable for a team whose window is now and the draftees preferable for a team on the rise and still needing more young talent
But 2019 may not be a late first round- and some teams may have taken a gamble that the Pies won't be top 4. So could be 18 and 12 for pick 8 or so.I don’t think 2 late first rounders equaled a top 10 pick in this draft. No club would’ve gone for that.

lolBig win for Lions I would’ve thought. Basically Beams for two first round picks. Crazy. He’s 29 in a couple of months and is injury prone. Collingwood aren’t exactly renowned for having a healthy list either. Could end up being a disaster for the Pies.
We used that pick to match Richmond's bid on McFayden. We traded a future fourth rounder to get AnswerthThat's in the past now though. We didn't go into deficit, the Eagles rookied Smith and the Lions used the pick on Noah Answerth.

Injury prone?
Beames played 19 games in 2017 and 21 in 2018.
He’s missed only 4 games out of the past 44.
So glad everyone is happy with the trade

No, it would have been a win for the Lions. That’s just you being bitter.I think we got screwed over personally, if we managed to get Crisp back it would have been a win-win
I guess if you regard a pick in the early 20’s as a genuine first rounder it’s a huge winBig win for Lions I would’ve thought. Basically Beams for two first round picks. Crazy.
