Trade hypotheticals

[goodie23]

Do people think this could work?

Pick 5, pick 23 and Greenwood >> Collingwood
Merrett and Lumumba >> Melbourne
pick 25 and pick 30 >> North
Beams >> Brisbane

With a trade like this it's a good idea to post what each club gives up, gets a bit confusing

Yea, I think there is a bit wrong with my suggestion to be honest

Its not often that the team that the poster supporters loses in their trade suggestion but I feel like that is exactly what has happened here.

5, 25, and Merrett for Beams? He is a good player but that is overs for mine.

Yea I know, but Collingwood are being Collingwood - so I was trying to suggest something that wouldn't be a win for us lol. In all honesty though, I am really happy to end this week coming with a happy squad + Christensen and picks 5 and 25 to use in the Draft.

Christiansen really makes this trade week a win no matter if we get Beams or not.

Should be Collingwood getting reamed with the carry on around them.

As opposed to the wonderful stuff your club has done to its players over the last two and a half years. Jump off your alter no ones buys it

We're not deliberately sabotaging a player from moving back home to be with his father with cancer

No one is stopping him from moving back home genius, it's just not to play with Brisbane as yet, it may be hard for you to understand given the amount of bullshit your club serves up. Don't be so naive. If it were so, then the GCS would have been welcomed to the trade table at the start.

That's why Gold Coast declared that they weren't interested in the deal at the start? You act all sanctimonious about it but the way Collingwood's been behaving is disgraceful and trying to deflect from that is pitiful.

Hack, crippled FA, 2nd pick for top 5 ruck in the league and a young talented midfielder.

Yeah, nah

"Top 5 ruck" hahahahhahahahahahahah

 

[eth-dog]

"Top 5 ruck" hahahahhahahahahahahah

Sandi and Jacobs better. Goldstein and Mumford would be similar. Ryder 3rd/4th/5th with them.

 

[eaglesfan99]

Also naitanui.

 

[eth-dog]

Also naitanui.

Not really. But if you included Nic Nat there he'd still be 6th at worst which means it's far from laughable. Ryder probably pips them all due to averaging 1 goal/game this year with flexibility.

But you said top 5 ruck I'd also argue thT young are dab martin is better.

All incorrect

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wonder what the Suns will offer up if they do get involved. Surely the Suns are Beams only other options if his reasons for moving to QLD are genuine. Can the Suns afford is contract and will they give up a like for like replacement that the Pies are after.

He must be concerned, Isn't he overseas drinking piss wih Heath Shaw. The dad must be in a bad way.

Because I believe he is. Young? Who the **** is Young? And Martin is in no way better than Ryder.

All incorrect

Keep telling yourself that.

He's having a holiday. My family was on holiday during the time my grandfather had cancer. Big deal.

How about instead...

Brisbane:
Get: Beams, 4th Round
Lose: Pick 5, 25, Merritt

North:
Get: Pick 5, Merritt, 30
Lose: Greenwood, Mullett, Anthony, 4th Round

Collingwood:
Get: Greenwood, Mullett, Anthony, 25
Lose: Beams, 30

Could drop the pick 30/25 upgrade...

With that, Brisbane gain beams but don't lose any future prospect players, also attain a late pick. Beams has the place he wants to go. Then will use 21 on Christensen.

North attain an extremely high pick, and a player who will help them in their weakest area. Defense. Although Merritt would last two years or thereabouts, would be worth it.

Collingwood get two ready made midfielders, one who they wanted already, the other, out of favour and sort of forgotten to the industry. Anthony, at worst, is a good depth player (probably the same with Merritt), and would no doubt be serviceable to Collingwood (especially when the injuries hit). They also attain Mullett, a very handy player who can slot in to replace Lumumba when he leaves. They then upgrade their pick 30 to 25.

Thoughts?

 

[Joshen]

You are going to get hounded down. We make out like bandits and Collingwood loses badly: packaging up Anthony and a 4th rounder is not good value.

 

[dosser11]

Yeah I was thinking that myself... but it was a pies supporter who I came up with this with...

 

[dosser11]

Oh crap... pick 30 should be at Brisbane...

 

[Shinboner '07]

Gee pies are a c*nt of a club to deal with
