Aish is not a big body yet (like for like), therefore we should ask for pick 5, Aish & a swap of 2nd round picks.

They're not making him stay, Brisbane are by not doing the trade deal for him.

We're not. He chose to stay by signing a contract. If he wants to leave it does not have to be on his terms, there are more clubs than Brisbane.

More than happy with the deal.

Greenwood is the big body, so overall we have done as well as could be expected (if Fine is not doing a Caro),

Probably just another BS SEN rumour but pick 5 and Aish is "apparently" set to be signed off tomorrow as trade for Beams.

Meeting with Aish and his family tonight apparently. Hopefully all the SA boys can sway him.

I'd be pretty happy with that outcome.

sounds good if its a long term deal for us

Picks 5 and 25 for Beams is completely laughable. I would absolutely expect the Pies to reject this derisory offer. Rest assured, if Beams remains with us he will play his very best in 2015. He will do so because he has too much to lose otherwise. He is a professional sportsman paid very significant amounts of money to play at an elite standard, and to fail to fulfil his professional commitments would erode his market value. Even more importantly, I believe that, whatever we might think of Beams' recent conduct, his commitment to excellence on the field cannot be disputed. He will play at his highest standard, wherever it is that he wishes to play. There is no chance that he will sit out the year. That would be a breach of his contract with Collingwood, and would penalize him financially on a massive scale.
Moreover, we would still have a year in order to convince Beams to stay with us, by packaging an attractive financial deal and perhaps improving relations overall with him. I still have definitely not lost hope that Beams might remain a Pie. There is no doubt in my mind that we need to be absolutely relentless in regard to Brisbane and demand like for like, as well as a top pick, or no deal.

Aish, 5 swap of second rnds and Redden

I hate these cnuts.

I will suck the marrow from Derek if that comes true.

Aish was a massive Buckley fan as a kid.

He's friends with Scharenberg and I'm sure he played some junior state level football with Grundy, Broomhead and Kennedy.

He's always been the one we could most likely convince to tell Brisbane he wants out and be traded as part of the Beams deal.

He'll probably settle for a thank you!!!

Sorry Swoop but I don't think you'd fit into Derek's age profile, he might want some high end draft picks to sweeten the deal.

I am a midget.

He can sweeten the deal by drinking some pineapple juice.

Is that what they call it these days?
