Hopefully they rate him as highly as AT does and we'll get Rayner, Hipwood & pick 4 in return.... :shh

Why would we want Beams at 30 years of age?
Because we never land a big fish?

That’s exactly what I was thinking
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

 Just had an intresring chat with a Saints mate.
He said the Saint are flat out into Miles but he’s desperate to get to North.
Saints have put a good deal to him but apparently will take considerably less to play with Norh :lol
Mav Weller has also asked to be traced back to the Gold Coast :lol :lol

Hard to see North as a more attractive option for Snipper as they need outside run, not an inside extractor. Although they do play Hobart 3 times a year.

Milsey would be a decent fit for the Aints given Armytage is shot and they do have outside skiers that need regular distribution. Can see Miles lack of pace and spread being exposed a bit at Etihad though. Would not like getting stuck in the VFL at Beach Oval on a winters howlin wind.

A loyal Tiger servant that deserves to find a suitable home to extend his AFL career.

If Brayshaw still talks to those inside North then they'll be targeting outside players from what he has been saying in the afternoons. I don't mind losing Miles but surely he's not the best fit for an already slow and one dimensional midfield.

Less money at norf
North probably offered Snipper a 7 year deal.

I heard a rumour that we are into a big bodied midfielder and guys, they don't get much better. He's had his injury concerns but he is ready to explode. My mate who coaches the Sydney Swans Academy has been coaching against him for years and reckons he's better than Heaney and Mills. Get excited if it's true!

Don’t know how much cap space we’ll have left after lynch joins but coniglio is a free agent next year and would be an ideal addition to our midfield. If the giants manage to keep hold of Shiel this trade period than surely one of coniglio, Shiel or kelly gets squeezed out next year with the latter two definitely out of our price range you would think.
