List Mgmt. We Got Him! Beams Trade Discussion (Not the Hype Thread)

Geez, put a soft cap on him, grow the hair out a bit... #grumpyoldman

I'm having flashbacks.

Consult a doctor.

Beams is a gun but his vision is one of his weakness.

Broomhead does have better vision.

He'll need it to see Beams disappearing into the distance in round 1.

Yeah, It'll be right after Broomhead kicks a goal, Beams won't be anywhere near because he can't defend.

Maybe. But I'm a great believer in the philosophy that if you kick more goals than your opponents you usually win.

Should have made it a proper Pie graph TBD, for irony humour.

Well I was one who criticised his defensive game before October.

I bet you were rapt that he asked for a trade then.

Just went to check and the search function wouldnt even let me go far back enough because you already had 200 posts containing the word "Beams" since October 8 alone.

To quote The Dude... "Far out man... far ****ing out!".

It made for an interesting trade period at least.

Methinks you doth protest too much. You realise the graph said "frequency" right?

The search function reveals that you really probably need to move on from this trade... for your health at the very least.

Yes but Beams in general was mentioned more, you'd also think talking about his defensive side would go up too.

Shall I do a chart that shows your perceptions of Crisp over the course of October 2014?

I wonder if they still consider him a food and not a football player?

Mine or the Collingwood boards? Because mine has probably gotten worse.

I highly doubt Leppo and Schwabbo really believe Hine will accept Crispo.

Pick 4 and Redden or GTFO! You have until Friday 5pm etc or negotiations cease!

Pick 4 and Redden or GTFO! You have until Friday 5pm and then sensible negotiations begin!

There strict guidelines really hurt our chances.

I prefer bagles.

Still getting alerts for this old thread. It's not surprising though, I get it.

There's always going to be spin for negotiations. You didn't really believe that statement, did you? You'd be naive if you did.
Yeah there are a lot of Collingwood fans who believed this as well, but when you've got such a large supporter base as we do, you're gonna get a large amount of nuffies too.

Brisbane first offered pick 5 only.
Collingwood wanted pick 5 and an "untouchable".

The deal in the end was a fair compromise.

Both clubs wanted Beams to move, but without appearing to be lose out on the trade table. In the end, the Lions came out in front. However we're not disappointed with De Goey, Greenwood & Crisp.

See you in Round 1!

No, I never did, and was saying so at the time.

Thus why I am entitled to still take the piss out of it now.

You might think we are footy noobs on the frontier but we actually don't need the history lesson from Collingwood supporters. Some of us Brisbane supporters had wind of Beams's intention to come home months before the trade period, and wore the abuse and vitriolic insults from Pies fans for stating it.

Then before the actual trade, many of us were predicting the exact trade weeks before it happened, so again, you don't need to explain it all to us. There were nutbags on either side, but I reckon it is fair to state that Brisbane supporters read the play much better than the Pies fans throughout the whole scenario - although considering we werent the ones losing an A grader, we weren't as confused by emotion I guess.

I believe you, but I also believe that many of your fans (and ours), did.
I can see the funny side, and this is your board so fire away.

I don't think you're noobs at all, and I wasn't giving "lessons". Sorry that you felt it came across that way.
There are plenty of terrible Pies fans, and I can understand the hatred. It's the main reason I don't post much on the Collingwood board.
Bay 13 is my home here.

Some of us read it pretty well.

Anyway this is your board and I won't intrude further. Good luck for 2015 (except for round 1).

See Victoria's number 1 AFL paper, the Herald Sun, are all over the Collingwood list... Crisp number's up before he starts?

COLLINGWOOD


Darcy Moore will wear his father’s famous No.30 and Jamie Elliott has inherited Nick Maxwell’s No.5. Former Cat Travis Varcoe will wear No.18 and Levi Greenwood will take Elliott’s old No.19 after joining the Pies from North Melbourne. Defender Tom Langdon has been promoted from No.41 to No.8 which became available when Heritier Lumumba was traded to Melbourne, while Beams’ former No.17 has been handed to Jonathon Marsh. Moore will follow in the footsteps of his father, who wore No.30 for 172 games for the Magpies from 1974-82. “It’s a really humbling feeling to be able to wear the same number as my old man,” Moore told the Magpies website. “I’m really proud of what he’s done and I’m ready to make a contribution in the jumper as well.” Top draft pick Jordan De Goey has the No.35 famously worn by Peter Daicos and Simon Prestigiacomo while Brayden Maynard will wear No.37 and Matthew Goodyear has No.38.
