Just as a contrast to those saying we need to play hard:

Adelaide could have traded Tippet for pick 12 and an end of first rounder

Instead, despite his obvious value, he managed to get to Sydney with the 11th pick in the PSD - no-one else was willing to pull the trigger

We did the same thing with Ball - he slid to 30 because everyone knew he only wanted to go to one place

While the idea of walking away and refusing 'unders' seems appealing, a top 5 pick and a sweetener is a lot to throw away to prove a point, when the alternative is literally nothing for him

Are Pies fans willing to sculle the Levi deal to make sure you dont get screwed on the beams deal??

I.e. if north say doggies have offered 2 2nd round picks, we will go with that unless you match, does that change anything (noting that dees would be crazy to trade more than 3rd round for lubumba

Coll lose: Beams
Coll get: 5, Greenwood, 25
Bris lose: 5, Patful, 25
Bris get: Beams
GWS lose: 21
GWS get: Patful
North lose: Greenwood
North get: 21

A lot of moving parts, but I wouldn't be wholly unsatisfied.

4 picks in the top 30-40 is something to build around (once Lumumba gets traded with Melbourne). That said, I'd be happy to use #5 to fish out another player. (5 for 15 + Lonergan?)

I think 25 for Greenwood would get the job done, possibly with our Harry L pick for their third if we had to

If Beams had acted like a man and attended the Copeland then the deal would probably already be done, but ignoring the Copeland and his team mates to be a pr!ck has soured (to say the least ) many supporters opinion of him (going from a perennial favorite to one of the most hated - second only to Thomas who went to the enemy).

My business sense tells me we should take what we can get and shun the little pr!ck but my anger goads me towards playing hardball.

Yeh, I wouldnt be happy with your situation either, I wouldnt even want a pick i would just say redden/hanley straight swap, contracted player for contracted player or go away. He is worth more than 5 +25.

But I dont think greenwood will get done with your second round, he came 2nd in B&F last week.... doggies have apparently offered 2 2nd rounders.... he is a decent player especially if want he is been offerred $$ wise is true, I just thought with all the experience you are loosing he would be no.1 prioirty in middle..

I think straight swap, Beams for Redden or Hanely favours Lions. If Hanley than obvious sweetener would be to include his brother but given he's a rookie I'd still want more and I don't know if you can trade rookies before they've even spent a year on the list? Question would be what sweetener with Redden. 5 may be too much, 25 too little in my opinion.

I was warming to the idea of Beams for 5, 21, 25 that some have mentioned providing we get Greenwood for 21 or 25. Seeing your post that Dogs offered two 2nd rounders (presumably 26, 27) suggests 25 won't get it done. 21 maybe? I am interested in your thoughts on Lumumba vs Greenwood. HL more consistent and slightly older to me seems in same ballpark yet Dees supposedly baulking at 23 for HL.

Dees would be crazy to offer pick 2, I mean is Harry really going to play out his contract?? After the whole poster debarcle, i thought he was going to be straight up delisted, until eddie told people to shut it as he has value, which was the right call. 3rd pick is what i expect for Harry, maybe with a swap of forth rounders if the pies really want.

Re: greenwood, due to a few clubs being interested and the Beams trade being so publicised has massively hurt you guys. If that trade was under wraps i think maybe they would have gone for your 2nd rounder plus melbs 3rd rounder.... but now, i doubt it... which puts you in the shit position of having to choose between unders for beams (5, 21 and 25) or not get greenwood done....

I don't see the point of the poll when Brisbane supporters can vote.
I need your help ...

... am I imagining things when I see the poll question explicitly state "(opposition respondents will get carded)" ?

Is this hidden from others? Is this ambiguous? Does it use words that people don't know the meaning of?

This is not a dig at you, its a dig directed at the 6 Brisbane posters who will get carded when us mods can find a spare few minutes to get around to it.

thanks, I was focused on HL on field performance and had forgotten about off field in assessing his value. Will be interesting to see what he and Mitch get - both off field issues, Clark higher ceiling but less consistency.

If you see 5+21+25 as unders for Beams then please talk some sense into Lions management! I know you already mentioned the straight swap idea but if it comes to picks what do you think it would take? (I know Pies don't want picks but can at least use them to on trade so if valuable enough then I can see it happening. Please don't limit yourself to what picks Lions have or stress about how they might get them.)

Edit - Dees don't have their 3rd rounder available - commited to Stretch (F/S)

What if we bypassed the pics altogether and went rich and redden for beans! They keep pick 5 and we get 2 best 22 players to replace Beamer! I think that's fair for both right?

Why do I have the feeling that this has the makings of a front page news (not sport) story.........................
Just a wanker now that bloke. The excuses are B.S. I can't,stand him for breaking the,contract and acting like a idiot now. No Copeland appearance because we thought he needed to be with his Dad now he's on a piss up holiday with his mates. Priorities.

I think 2 top 10 picks plus a second round upgrade is the closest you will get to fair, with this draft being ok for top 30 or so...

Ideal for you is a 5 + Aish as i think he really suits pies style of play. But with Brisbane not giving you guys anything near reasonable I would shop beams around tbh, as I personally think its probs for $$ as much as it is for family issues.

Redden/Hanley/rockliff plus their 2nd for beams and 3rd would be fair, will they do it....hells no
