They're going to return to their magenta strip so they can take the crown for shittest colours in international sport?
Wow you're right Hinkley is a can do guy.

Or not. Why don't we wait and see? They haven't even made a Grand Final, yet, let alone lost 3 like Ross Lyon managed.
Also, they've weighed themselves down with the genius of Michael Voss, so let's just see how it all pans out for them. |

I see the Dons did not get much for Ryder at all, a late pick, nowhere near as good as our pick 5, and I would rate Ryder nearly in the class of beams. I wonder how our doomsayers would view that, if they were dons fans. ?? Oh, but other clubs don't get not what they really wanted in the draft, that only applies to the Pies, oh, I get it now. !

Probably could have been worse, I guess, least we got a couple of handy players and a draft pick to possibly get a gun early in the draft. I think also getting Moore will help along the way.

If I was a Dons supporter (thank you lord), I'd have burnt down the club house a few years back.

What we got for Beams, in comparison to what the Hawks got for Franklin is pretty good. Franklin is easily a better player, but the Hawks got pick 19. We got lucky with Daisy compensation pick too (pick 11), when compared to Franklin. Geelong got 2 number 1 picks, which is fine, considering Ablett is, I think, the best player in 2 decades.
So when I look at that, I feel quite good about it. Chances are, if we kept Beams, we would of got a significantly less trade/pick(s). Just the fact that we got pick 5, while the Hawks got shafted with pick 19, puts it all in perspective for me. Hopefully, it helps some others see this too. |
The Hawks got shafted with pick 19 but they've won back to back flags & one back in 2008!!!

Varcoe was shown kicking some gem goals, two against us -the nightmare 2011 GF ??- he looked fast, quick and elusive, we can use that. Greenwood looked solid, and pick five, well, who knows, what with Moore, a fresh Scharenberg, Freeman, and pick 5 could be a real star, I think the future looks very rosey indeed. ! |
If anyone is a club plant on this site my vote definitely goes to you.
Everything is always sugar and roses with you. No questioning of the club's approach or criticism can ever be tolerated.
We could trade Pendles for Pick 10 and you'd find a way to denigrate the record of Pendles and/or paint the decision as a win for the Pies.
Also, for those Beams history re-writers (which I'm sure you probably are as well), ordinary players don't win Copelands, 3AW AFL Player of the year (2012) and finish 4th in the MVP (2012 also), probably the most prestigious award in the game. If he wanted big dollars then we should've done everything possible to cater for him.
The poor man management skills of our current coach, where conformity of personality seems to be the mantra is more than likely the reason for our No. 2 player deciding he doesn't want to stay. That is a fail on our club, no matter how anyone wants to spin it. |
Gee, im a club plant, that's original, strange it is that I have spoken to nine Pies fans since the deal done, and all are very happy with it, and most fans here are too, so you are in the minority by far. Beams showed his true colours by no show at the Copeland, hes chasing the big dough, breaks his contract, boozes on in a pub while the Copeland is on, so much for the club that made him, nurtured him, stabbed us in the back, and uses emotional blackmail. You and your sackers can wail and moan all you like, you can insult me by calling me a club plant, I could get personal but I will hold my fire, as the mods have asked us too, so im putting you on ignore now, so don't bother replying, I wont even see it. Now run along and play in your sandbox, theres a good lad.   |
Good grief, hasn't BlackandWhite4life read the holy book???

PnC is the original white-ant - he wanted everybody sacked during the Malthouse Period (Remember? Thats when we won a premiership), him and his best mate Jack Spain. And now he is more Collingwood than Eddie (who he also wanted sacked way back when). I can't wait to see him turn again once his prince Buckley gets sacked.....

ha ha, that's rich, coming from a now well drilled sad sacker, I was a very mild white ant Ronnie ol son, compared to the buggers that now infest Nicks daily. As for the old bloke, well, it did take him eleven yrs to finally get one, and it took the heat of bucks taking over to motivate him to modify his dreadful boundary line game plan, to achieve it. He had enormous resources, best of any then team, but one flag in eleven years, and the following year he plays unfit players in the grannie, and turns then spud Hawkins into a star. So don't rewrite my history, I wanted him gone yes, and by golly hasn't he done a marvellous, cough cough, job with the scum eh. As for Bucks, I will judge him at end of next season, if he has a full list, little injuries, no reasons or excuses, well the club will have to look hard at him, but I wont turn on him yet, hes had only three years, which is miniscule compared to the old blokes time frame. Unlike you Ronnie and your buddies, Im not a constant negative carping type, a bit of positivity can do wonders you know for ones outlook.

Are all the Beams threads from 2014 going to resurface now?

Footscray land a big fish - Boyd: 7 years for $7 million.
Why didn't we offer 8 years for $8 million?
We can't ever land a big fish
Time for Eddie & Hine to go. |
We were in no position to make a play like that for Boyd as we're already paying a KF top dollar, and let's not forget the fact that Boyd is still an unknown quantity at AFL level, Dogs are taking a massive gamble IMO. |
Boyd has played a grand total of 19 games, and they are paying squillions for him, AND the dogs are paying a million bucks to GWS, for Griffen, as part of his package, they are paying a cool million to beef up a guy who wont even play for them anymore  
Just imagine if We did that, this Nicks Board would explode with abuse at eddie and co, so those doomsayers should think us lucky, at least we aren't that stupid, and anyway, I thought the Doggies were broke ??  |
Won them a Grand Final so you gotta be happy with that AND better than Buddy so far...
