The Great Big Dayne Beams thread

I have read a few reports that Collingwood might be considering trading Beams in October. Now this could just be some 'trash talking journalism' to sell papers. And I seriously don't discount this fact. It could also be Brisbane spreading this rumour to spook Collingwood.

However, if there is some substances to this, it poses an interesting conundrum from the club.....that i really don't envy...

IF Beams dose want to go home to Queensland to play with his brother at Brissy, Collingwood in my mind has only two options:

1. Ignore the speculation and work on getting him to sign a contract to stay. Running the risk that he indeed dose want to go, and that his contract runs out and he walks for nothing. This would be nothing short of a Luke Ball St.Kilda style disaster.

2. We trade him this year, Brisbane has pick.4 and would probably have to also hand over some serious talent as replacement. This also has inherent risk, notably that it undermines player confidence at the club. And opens the club to criticism of player management.

Again i say at the moment we have nothing more than 'media speculation' however we probably need the club to pour some very cold water on this soon. For as we all know, the longer the smoke doth hang around the greater the risk of fire!.

He is an A grade talent.
They don't grow on trees.
Very difficult to get a proper trade.

if he does actually want to leave the club, rush him out the door.

couldn't give a shit if it was pendlebury or gault - if they don't want to play for the collingwood football club, move them on, try to win out of the situation and keep moving forward.

I think everyone needs to take a pill and chill.

Exactly^.The only players who leave the club are the ones we are quite happy to let go.I don't think that would apply to Beams.

Ridiculous rumour, however would I take Zorko & pick 4 for Beams?

Yes please.

Do you have any idea what I am talking about? That's what I asked you.

Where has Beams stated or has even remotely implied a move or unhappiness with the club, players or coach? Source? Its pure crap. He is a happy Pie and will be a future leader of the Pies, mark my words. Mods please file this thread to file 13.

Looks it could also just be clever brinksmanship.... want to force a club to pay a star more? leak a rumour that you want "said player" means that it keeps "said club" away from your stars.

Once his contract is up we will get him on the right money don't worry. Out of all our signings over the past few years, Beams is the one I am the least bit worried about. His best mates are at the club, lives with his gf who works in Melb (is also very close with her family). Very soon he will surpass Pendlebury as the best player at the Pies. We aren't letting him get away, just like we didn't with Trav.

Then to make up for all this nonsense the Brions are causing, we'll take his brother off them one day.
