He and Browne both at 7. Haven't seen anyone else reporting it. Once again, I'll wait and see.

Edit except for Emma Quayle and she went with it last night.

**** I hope the Pies are pulling a shifty of epic proportions. :drunk:
Browne and Emma went with it last night, both guessing. Typical journo behaviour.

2/wasting 1st round picks on olerenshaw
3/ wasting a first rounder on re drafting orchard

4/ beams deal only saving grace no5 pick could be a gum...emphasis's on could

i hope all these reports a`wrong
Nobody requested a trade from Collingwood in any of those trades. So there's not much we can do about it, in contrast to those other 3 trades.

Hmmm let's do a profile.
Joins on the date of a probable shit trade for Collingwood
Comes in and shit cans the club admin

Support AEK a Greek club. Most likely Greek.
Greeks used the Trojan horse to infiltrate Troy. Brisbane BF Mods using him to incite the Pies posters and cause some issues without the threat of a ban.

Yep. BRISBANE TROLL! Now **** off! :D
Wow talk about 6 degrees of separation. I like the cut of your jib son

Collingwood: 25+5 =Sorry no deal Brisbane. We want an established player, like for like to fill the void.
Brisbane: "oh ok. Here you go. Have this rookie who has played a handful of games in 3 years."
Collingwood: "yesss" pumps the air and mumbles "we showed them" under breath.

The big problem here is that you shouldn't talk tough if your not going to stand by what you say. We have been made to look foolish. Maybe our hand was forced. But Collingwood should have been able to anticipate that their hand could be forced and not made the statements they did. You look very silly when the ice breaker for a deal is list clogger. Especially when early on your pick 4 had been downgraded to pick 5. Crisp does not even compensate for that.

Eh, Hawthorn fans were furious when they traded Croad for two first rounders. The two picks went on to being integral parts of their three flags (Mitchell, Hodge)

Let's wait and see how this trade pans out. Id preferably like to see us backflip on the Varcoe trade and keep whatever pick we get for Harry. Trade 25 for Greenwood.

This in the long run could be one of the best or worst trades in the history of the club. Let's give it time though.

That's actually quite good. I been on Twitter for years same nickname. I just stumbled on this site yesterday as I did a search on Google for Dayne Beams trade and thread showed up. As for being Greek. How perceptive of you to read my Avatar AEK ATHENS! LOl @ the Trojan Horse. I say it as I see it. If I think Pies are doing wrong i will say it. Like it or not. Sorry if i don't follow the company line and say its all sugar and sweet down at Pie land. :)
You have a somewhat redeeming feature in that you are a Liverpool fan however don't read too far into posts that slam overly negative members on this forum. It may not be company line, it's a different perspective. Some like to see everything through shit stained glasses or rose coloured glasses. Most of us are in between.
Come in a sprout sack Buckley, Hine or anyone else without considering the many variables, Expect to cop it.

I don't see how they can force our hand
His contracted
He can choose to sit out the year if he really doesn't want to be here. More importantly, if he stayed and played but truly didn't want to be there, it could become cancerous for us next year. Like I said we don't know what transpired between Beams & the club over the weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised if whatever it was played a part in why we are now back at the table with Brisbane for the addition of Crisp to the offer (assuming the reports are true).

I still don't believe this one. Surely we wouldn't trade our second best player for 2 kids and a spud.
Why two kids and a spud? Greenwood is decent and hopefully can maintain his form from this year, Pick 5 May net a promising midfielder, and we get a promising young defender to add some depth going forward. Not all doom and gloom. Plus we get our future captain for pick 9. Chin up;)

The bigger issue going forward will be the reaction to what, lets face it, seems to be a perfectly orchestrated poaching expedition, initiated by Brisbane. Lets not con ourselves, this has been brewing for a while, and done in a fashion calculated to **** us over. Congratulations, well played.

Swings and roundabouts; I would be desperately disappointed if we dont look at some point down the track in inducing one of yours to require an immediate return to melbourne, on purely compassionate grounds of course, and miraculously nominate only Collingwood as a destination.

Swings and roundabouts. This has the prospect of unleashing a whirwind on you, and the more you force a win-lose, the more antagonism you store for the future. I hope this may be a tactical victory and stragtegic defeat. But definitely enjoy it while it lasts.
From what I have seen I doubt our administration or footy department have got the nous, foresight, or intellect to put a deal together to tempt an A grader from another club.

We seem a club content to pick very modestly performed players and hype them up to be stars.

Haha.
Looks like I've got some mailing to do tomorrow.
The whole message was either poorly worded or an attempt to scare Brisbane to offer a much better offer. Pretty low if it was the second alternative because it confused the supporters that it was sent to. They should have said the negotiations with Brisbane have broken down and we are now fielding offers from other clubs, although this doesn't exclude still getting a deal done with Brisbane if the offer is much improved.

Looks like 5 25 and crisp is a done deal.Collingwood would find it hard to fit varcoe in the salary cap if beams stay, and with north circling for varcoe they have to act now.pick 25 will go for greenwood, crisp and varcoe too pies.Lets hope hine uses pick 5 well.
