Look we are dammed if we do dammed if we don't , do we really want him anymore his silence has been appalling . My view definitely in the minority and sure to be blown apart lets just move on get what we can even if if is 5 25 and Crisp plus Varcoe Greenwood and never forgive never forget , remember karma rules and payback is a bitch ...hear me Brisbane!

Anyway, I think everyone needs to calm the f*** down. Beams is and always was going to be gone since he decided he was going to Brisbane. He was never going to get to another club. Its f***ing bullshit but thats the way it is.

We'll get a decent youngster in (pick 5), Greenwood should help us and the question mark is Crisp.

We've got what we could out of a shit situation, with a campaigner of a club and player.

Slowly, very very slowly getting my head around this deal.

Pick 5 is pick 5, will be a gun selection, Greenwood is a quality player and Crisp has the attributes to be a more than handy acquisition.

Our hands were tied, whereby we could only deal with one club who didn't have much to offer us. Yeah we didn't as much as we wanted, but we've stocked up with young talent. This time next year when we poach a FA the pain will be relieved ;)

I agree... Him not turning up to the B&F shows how low he is. If the reason was to be closer to his old man, people at the club would understand. Rumors abound that he is unhappy with Buckley(don't blame him there), plus he wants more $$ and to play with his brother. If we don't trade him now for Smiths Crisps deal we won't get ZIP next year..

Usual Pie trolls rolling out the shambles line. Plenty conspiring against us.
Here's a few
1) 4 downgraded to 5 coz Melbourne can't get their shit together
2) Beams wants out to only one club. Poor form from someone we helped after the GF night debacle
3) Bundy leaving and choosing Brisbane and them using 21 on him.
4) Griffin nominating GWS. Puts them out of the market but let's not forget that Heater and Beams double at GWS may not be great for the young kids.
5) Malceski to GC. No room for a boom recruit.
6) good kids from BL happy where they are and quite anonymous.
7) we still don't know WTF is going on so easy on the 'club is **** ed talk.'
Well said.

This was proposed by someone other than me but to me this is the only deal for Beams and Lumumba I could accept.

If we lose Beams and Lumumba and don't come out of this "mega deal" with us retaining pick 23/25 then we are accepting unders for a deal already borderline acceptable.

No 23 or 25 then it's a deal breaker for mine and someone at the club has seriously screwed the pooch.

The deal as it should be:

Beams to Brisbane for 5, 25 and Crisp

25 to North for Greenwood

23 and Varcoe to Collingwood, Lumumba and 30 to Melbourne, Clarke and 48 to Geelong.

We lose: Beams, H, picks 30, 48
We get: Greenwood, Crisp, Varcoe, picks 5 and 23.

I'd just about take that. If Melbourne don't like it, North can have H and we'll keep 25.
