Apparently Ed on MMM this morning said it was happening. Soft. Caving into the Brions.

Would be weak as p!$$.....

Couldn't take these w@nkers seriously again after the statement on Friday.

Unbelievable. Last Friday we were all applauding the clubs stance to end negotiations and having the guts to not be held to ransom by contracted players.

Now we just give up that stance for Crisp? Another list clogger. I've been very happy with the clubs last two trade periods since Buckley took over as we seem to have negotiated well and maximised our returns. If this deal goes through though, we'd have been royally reamed and undoes a lot of the good work of improving our list in the last two seasons.

Ffs. They aren't even lubing us up on this deal, just going in dry.

And now Boyd wants a trade to Bulldogs! Griffin looks like he'll get a trade for Tom Boyd. WTF. Whilst we get a packet of Crisps for Beams.

And they're trying to dress it up, wtf does a three way trade between geelong Melbourne and Collingwood have to do with the beams trade(what throw around some bottom end picks a pretend like we had some sort of win?)

Feck off...you're fooling no one.

Not even a reach around.

When did we become so nice? Disgraceful Collingwood!

We give up a superstar in Beams and a top 5 player in Lumumba for Varcoe, Greenwood, Crisp and pick 5.

Tell me this aint so.

OK. Beams isn't a superstar.

I would've prefered Pick 5 and Aish or Redden but I won't be upset with this deal. Pick 5, Greenwood, Varcoe & Crisp? For Beams and lumumba. It works out Pick 5 & Greenwood for Beams as we wanted originally. Varcoe and Crisp for Lumumba. I prefer a pick instead of Crisp maybe, I don't know much about him but he looks ok.

Time to get the deal done. I can't see any value in retaining players who don't want to be there. We would be a million to one for the flag in 2015 anyway so keeping Beamer won't effect our flag chances one way or the other but gives us a chance at another potential star with pick 5.

Crisp adds all sorts of possibilities as a big midfielder or running half back (Both positions of need for us) and wouldn't be the first player to turn his career around in a new environment.

This proposed deal is so crap that I just can't see how we would accept it.

To be honest, I don't know this kid at all. My worry is that if he struggles to get into the seniors at a shit team like the Lions, he can't be that good surely?

Maybe Hine and co see something there that the Lions didn't. We can only hope I guess.

IF Collingwood accept this deal they have officially lost the plot and NOT got the best deal for us. They have totally bloody caved it since Friday for an unknown player in Crisp.... Frustrating and annoying.
We have got reamed in this deal, thanks to Beams......
