Mega Thread Dayne Beams trade (Its over, thread closed)

[MyManLynch]

This is actually the worst time of my life right now. I'd rather 5 and 25 for beams and that's it if it meant we don't get potato chips

Would you like ketchup with your chips sir?

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Pressure will be on Buckley and Hine if this goes through after the shit that the club came out with last Friday, plus the complete slap-in-the-face when it comes to bringing in an utter potato in Travis Varcoe.

The joint is a shambles at the moment, unfortunately.

In 2 weeks time no-one will even be talking about it including you

Crisp stormed home at the end of this season and will be a good pick up. Only knock on him for mine is that when running at high speed or under pressure he can miss targets by foot but overall his skills are quite good. A good runner and a very nice height for a midfielder too. Would be sad to see him go but if the trade goes through and Beams does come to Brisbane along with the inclusion of Christenson and the return of Rich and Redden from injury it's a bit hard to find a spot for him. I personally hope he does well (except against us!).

Can you liken him to a more well know player?

 

[BEEG]

I am not so much annoyed at the trade more annoyed at how the wheels seem to be falling off at the club its becoming a problem and anybody who doesn't think we have issues well i feel sorry for you

Either fix the issues or get rid of the people at top who are causing these issues

 

[James North]

Not going to overstate Crisp's worth unnecessarily guys, but he is a pretty useful player. He'll definitely get games and I think if he was given a role that suits his style in a well drilled, well-funded outfit he might surprise a few supporters.

(If he ends up at Collingwood).

 

[THATSGOLD]

What a load of bollocks. There is nothing to be gained by forcing a player to stay against his will when he is free to walk for nothing 12 months down the track. Top five picks dont grow on trees. The last one we has was Pendlebury. Why the hell would we give up 5, 25 and a tall young skilled player to try and prove a point to an opposition club that we didnt like their deal? ? What point woudl we be proving anyway? To think it will scare other clubs into dealing with us more fairly in the future is a complete nonsense.

The best point to prove is the old adage....If youre not with us youre aggin us. Tell the players that if they dont want to play for Collingwood then they are free to go. Its not as if we have got much out of Beams in the past two seasons anyway. Steady and reliable at best.

What was the point of the deadline?

I highly doubt that

I think that this issue has been caused by Beams...hence we should get rid of him...you are right.

 

[RuFiO]

What was the point of the deadline?

To bring hope.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Who would have thought Varcoe,greenwood and crisp would be at our club?
Let's be honest Varcoe and greenwood are B graders at best.
Crisp has only 1 thing... He"s tall.

 

[danielnajdek]

What was the point of the deadline?

To make Brisbane up their offer to include Crisp

 

[mike123]

EFA

Armstrong was crap because our inside mids that game were crap at feeding it out to the outside players.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

What was the point of the deadline?

To tell Brisbane "we will shop Beams around to other clubs unless you sweeten the offer". Which they have.

I really dont understand why people are taking this deadline so personally.

 

[BEEG]

I think that this issued has been caused by Beams...hence we should get rid of him...you are right.

Not the first player who has been unhappy at the club or wanted out in the last 2 years not even Essendon who did all the peptide injections to the players have had as many player issues as us.

 

[RuFiO]

To make Brisbane up their offer to include Crisp

Obviously it worked since they are willing to relinquish one of their untouchables.

 

[Mazza44]

Can you liken him to a more well know player?

A bit hard to compare him to anyone as because of his size and run he's a little unique. If you go here http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/jack-crisp.897177/page-6 the last 4 pages discuss him in a fair bit of depth and some highlights are included

What's his nickname?

Crispy.

>_>

Most people on this board wouldnt have the first clue about him. I certainly dont but I'm prepared to have an open mind. His stats are quite good and his height is what we need.

 

[Finnishpie]

Until they changed from a transfer system to a draft trade scenario there was a lot of club movement. I only have to look at the recruiting in the early 80s and i cringe.. We had a feud with Richmond and they went poaching our players and we tried to pinch theirs. up to 10 - 15 changed sides.
Once they changed to drafting it was a lot harder to trade players and clubs were more settled. In 1990 we basically built a great team from a really good under 19 team, Now free agency has set in players have a lot more freedom to move but its nowhere near as bad as it was in the olden days. But remember we had to trade to get Nathan Buckley and Anthony Rocca to the club too.

This is pretty much what I was thinking about when I mentioned that I think things have changed.

Armstrong was crap because he's not a very good player.

He's depth only, and was recruited as such. It's a mystery why you and BBB have such a hard on for him.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Not going to overstate your recent performances but they've been shit. Is that the fault of the coach that can't coach you to the top 8 or the playing list you over rate?

But you dont want Greenwood either, from memory.

 

[ThisIsJake]

Can Brisbane fans please stop coming here telling how much 'potential' Crisp has, everybody on a list has potential and he has shown nothing to say he is anything special.

I understand you are all happy about pulling off the steal of the century, but you know as well as I do that while Crisp has some good attributes he is not currently an AFL standard player and there is a good chance he will never be, seeing as he will already be 22 for next season and has yet to prove anything.

 

[toxic]

the brisbane recruiters on their way to the westpac centre as we speak!

 

[ksardog]

Where would Crisp go in this draft? Around 30-40 region?

So we r getting 5,25,35 for beams

Great trading collingwood, all talk as usual

 

[cotter101]

So basically in his best string of games he's shown that:

- He can get an average amount of the ball, nothing special
- He can't tackle
- He can't kick
- He can occasionally slot a goal but is about as accurate as Cloke
- He doesn't get the hard ball

No wonder he was one of Brisbane's untouchables.

He was playing on a half forward flank in a side that had a couple of huge losses in a couple of games. He can certainly tackle and win the hard ball. But yes, kicking needs work.

I can smell another case of Hird & Tania in the making, this time in Brisvegas
