Levi Greenwood - selects the Pies

[AN_Inkling]

Agree, on 2014 form we'd have him for sure. He'd make a good Beams replacement. There's just a question on whether he'll maintain that.

[Deja Vu]

I think with his ability to play run with roles he would definitely add something

[swoop42]

If he decides he wants out to join the pies then it may make a deal of Beams for pick 4 and 24 more likely.

If Brisbane aren't willing to part with pick 24 for Beams then they're just being stupid and stubborn.

[woftam]

North have upped their offer according to their coach. I think he will probably stay put.

[swoop42]

His kicking is seen as only average though he obviously has other admirable traits.

Not to fussed if we miss out.

If we end up getting pick 24 as part of the Beams deal, pick 22 for Lumumba all coupled with our own pick 28 that'll be 5 top 30 picks that Hine has to work with.

A lot of if's I know at this stage and it wont help us much next year but if you can choose wisely no reason to think that come 2016 some of those players can start to have a positive impact on the team.

Beams and Sidebottom were both premiership players in there second year and I kind of like the idea of loading up with another group of talented kids again as we look to make our way back up the ladder.

Of course if Dangerfield is on offer all bets are off.

[RudeBoy]

I'd rather use pick 22, 24, 4 and if necessary a player to get Dangerfield.

[AN_Inkling]

Rudeboy stop putting forward players that nobody wants .

I asked a mate of mine who is a mad Roos supporter about Greenwood this morning. He reckons he's a gun player, who had injuries on and off for a few years but finally had an injury free season this year and blitzed it as a hard in and under midfielder. He said that in round 3 or 4 he played his first senior game for the year, got about 40 possessions and kicked 4 goals, and was never dropped again. He actually thought he should have won their best and fairest. I honestly don't know him, but after hearing this I'm now pretty keen to get him.

[John Wren]

was drafted back in 2007, second round. seven years in the system now. 74 games.

[BBHS]

I didn't realise how close this was, apparently it's a choice between us and staying at Norf now. Only saw this bloke play against Essendon and he played a blinder.

^^^^ This seems to be the extent of it, at the moment - a brief mention in a Jay Clark article that is mostly about Black:

"The future of Levi Greenwood remains less certain, with North still unable to lock the midfielder into a contract extension. Collingwood is in the box seat to poach the out-of-contract on-baller, who finished third in the club’s best and fairest on Friday night."
