Given there is 0% chance of you playing finals next year, what does retaining an unhappy player with one year on left on his contract achieve. The only difference between Collingwood and Brisbane is that we were going into the next season with a chance of playing finals and retaining Beams was a vital part of that. Unlike the supporter base, Brisbane will be pragmatic about this, if Redden really wants to leave they'll let him go. To do anything else would be negligent (although I wouldn't rule anything out given the way Brisbane has been run in recent years)
You spew a lot of misdirected rubbish in our way and I have to pull you up on this one. For a start our trading/drafting has been exemplary in the last 2-3 years (Beams, Christensen, Robinson in, Patfull out gracefully for the right price, Taylor, Gardiner, McStay plus academy kids etc). Aside from that we've replaced anyone within 1,000 miles of past failings in the club including board members, CEO, football manager, welfare manager etc in the last 2 years.
The way we've been run in the last two years points to the fact we'll do what's best for the club and its members in this trade period, exactly the same of what you'd expect of your club.
On Redden I expect a deal will get done, they normally do. It just won't be done with a club circling like vultures expecting to pick him up for scraps.
