Becuae he can kick the ball. Not too many on our team can do that.
Being a good kicker is useless when you're a poor decision maker and take no risks.

I'd take Young over him any day. At least he drives the ball forward and allows a quick transition forward.
 
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.

If the deals goes through...

What should we get for pick 5. A young kid that could be anything or a Decent ready made player from another club?
 
I agree, but doesn't sound like we had a choice, and we've made the best we can out of it.

Dayne fits right into that club. A knob joining a club full of knobs. Hope he has fun getting smashed every second week. Pisses me off how he hasn't come out and said anything. Club done so much for him but he just pisses all over them.

You have no clue:rolleyes:
 
Seriously. There's some genuine future stars in the top 5 of this years draft. If we do acquire Greenwood, Crisp and Varcoe then I'd be targeting a Key Forward to partner Darcy Moore over the next 12 years with pick 5. I'll back our club in to get that selection spot on and come out winners.

Haha.
Looks like I've got some mailing to do tomorrow.
 
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.

One thing you can guarantee from the Lions, is players wanting to return to Victoria.

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..

Evidence or give it a rest. You don't have a clue.

Maybe according to you, but you're one of only two people on this board who have a hard on for Armstrong and think he can be best 22.
Any realist knows that he is depth only. The club came out at the end of the year and said he was recruited as depth.
Adams was thrown in the back pocket ahead of him ffs.

If I have no clue, then you must be a complete imbecile, because any moron can tell you that Armstrong will never make the grade as a best 22 player.

Mate.. It's what has been said on the radio for weeks. I don't need to provide Jack shit to you. If you don't like my posts go elsewhere and read something else. I have as much right to post what i like as any1 else.

Hate Armstrong if you must but saying he's a poor decision maker is just plain crap.
