Beams to Brisbane

Dangerfield to pies

Pick 4 + Aish to Adelaide.

Happy with that if it is a straight swap for Dangerfield.

No Way!!

If thats on the Table, Take aish and 4 from Brisbane and ontrade Aish to Adelaide for Danger & their 2nd rd pick. Win - Win - Win

I am disappointed, but he will NEVER have greater currency than he has right now!!! So that means we need to maximize it and get the best deal that the AFL has EVER seen

Omeara and Pick 7 and 2nd round pick
Aish and Pick 4 and 2nd round pick

Bare minimum!!

In what universe do you think Adelaide would accept a straight swap of Aish for Danger? To add to that, you realise Aish needs to agree to go to Adelaide of all places first. Simply not going to happen. Only way it could was if pick 4 was thrown in.

Credit where it's due mate. Your mail was obviously on the money. My apologies. Now let's get the best possible trade.

haha no issue mate, i don't think you were as offhand as others. my point was more to those who just said "deleted the thread because it won't happen".

To be honest, i think it is best that found out now that he does want to go home on compasonate grounds..... and i think he deserves respect for that.

Trade wise, well, we need to be weary of Brisbane..... as we have seen with the Ryder case where they are offering Pick.24 (well under value, because they feel they can get away with it). So we need to make sure we hold them to account.

gobsmacked.

Well FMD

This is about money over 800k per year long term. Greg Swann acting personally not professionally. This sort of deal is not in the Lion's long term list management best interest.

You don't say.

They can throw all the unfair trades out in the wind that they want, they know it's not going to fly. Beams is one of the best footballers in the league, Ryder is just one of the best ruckman. Of course it's in their best interest to say they'll offer pick. 4 for Dayne, but there's absolutely zero chance we're accepting anything less than what WE want for him. If they do, they can kiss my membership and a lot more goodbye.

Wow. Just wow.

We're officially a club in crisis now.

I agree, look so many people have said..... and i think the mantra has always been "No player is bigger then a club".

And Beams as great a players as he is....is only a player......we can sill get a good outcome....and if he wants to go home...he wants to go home and we have to respect that.

Plenty of people around the country live in different states to there family and have "family reasons" they have to cope with day to day yet can't afford or don't want to give up there full time job to move.

This is simply about a player being offered big money, one who is eligible for free agency at the end of next season holding a gun to the head of his employer now with the threat of losing him for less next year.

Welcome to free agency people.

Free agent at end of 2016

Oh ffs INK I know you've never liked him but this is getting beyond a joke now.

Finishing with 16 Brownlow votes the same as Pendlebury this season was no fluke.

Beams is our second best player IMO, will most likely finish top 2 to 3 in the Copeland and at 186cm is one of biggest midfielders.

He's also our best clearance player and highest goal kicker amongst the midfielders.

They guy is A grade all the way and an absolute elite talent of the competition.

Only Dangerfield would be a suitable replacement.

Pretty sure he's a restricted free agent next season isn't he?

Isn't it after 7 years?

Beams was drafted in 2008.
