Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

A bunch of ordinary young mids are lightly tapping on the door.

Prindable the Lions academy mid that they took looks promising though..
So the guy with no AFL experience from the Lions academy looks promising while all the others that you have no idea about, both with and without AFL experience must be duds.

And they handed back Beams for plenty
What did they get? Was it the gun that was Ely Smith at pick 21? Maybe another late 1st round pick they traded to Port.
We got DeGoey and Crisp 2x 200 game players and the pick that got us Quaynor probably another 200 gamer.

In the end Beams cost us:
Pick 29 in 2008
pick 21 in 2018
pick 18 in 2019

but in return we got
Beams 100 plus games
Crisp will get close to 300 games
DeGoey will get over 200 games
Quaynor will play over 200 games
Greenwood played 86 games

That's a big net positive although Pick 21 and 18 for Quaynor wasn't the best deal. But still solid overall.

Don't forget a visit from the bikies at training a few times, a monstrous payout of his contract and Eddie paying a huge sum of cash to help with his gambling debts.
Agree the contract payout ended blowing up our salary cap which in turn lead to us winning the 2023 grand final. So I guess we could credit Beams with both the 2010 grand final and the 2023 grand final.
Eddie deserved to loose a bit of money and the bikies got Beams out of the club so a few more wins with those as well.
