Just watched a 2012 highlights package of Redden and he looked solid. Good on both sides, wins the ball inside, runs to the right spots outside. In fact he really does look like a slight down grade of Beamer (just a taller version)

Nah, he's a star...they're all stars
You would think the way they are valuing their players that they were a kick away a flag last year or something.....
LMAO, they expect us to be happy to lose our 2nd best mid and add a draft pick, all the while they know they will be introducing Beams and Rich into a midfield that contains rockcliff and Redden....
Nah fook em, we will take one of them thank you....
Everyone needs to relax. All that's being thrown around at the moment is hot air. It's not going to comfort anyone but we all know absolutely nothing about what's really happening here until there's an official announcement that a trade has been agreed.
Ultimately, if Brisbane want Beams they need to give us something of value or they can try again next year. We may be willing to take their first round pick next year...
Work on the Aish boy, sell the home of football and 70k fans every week. Tell him to go to them and say I'll be part of the deal. They'll then want another pick of ours. Give em our last one

We need to add 2 age appropriate mids, with the downturn of Swanny it was one of our problems this year...

Ideally you're right, but I guess all I'm saying is that getting a ready-made in and under mid like Greenwood would reduce the urgency for us to get another ready-made mid. After all, next year Adams and Broomhead will have had another year under their belts and we should have Freeman available. Hopefully, Swanny will return in better shape than he was this year too.

Yeah problem was we said the same of Thomas and co last year and none have come on as hoped.
We need so make sure we are not Band-Aid orientated with Beams leaving and approach trade time as we should...to improve our list...not patch it.
