Beams requests a trade

[T Dog]

Loosing
Dale Thomas
Heath Shaw
Chris Dawes
Sharrod Wellingham
Heritier Lumumba
Dayne Beams

In the space of 3 years all to free agency/trades its not looking good for Collingwood

beams the only real loss.

Are you kidding? Heath Shaw is one of the best backmen in the AFL. Losing (with one o) him, Maxwell and O'Brien (that other guy is half the player that he was) in the space of 2 seasons leaves them very green down back.

Shaw I will give you is a loss, but you got a pretty handy midfielder in Adams for him.
Thomas has been a shadow since his injury and no guarantees to ever be as good as 2011/12 again and you ended up with Scharanberg who looks more than promising
Wellingham is a spud (just ask West Coast - but East Perth thank you) and getting Grundy for him was a MASSIVE improvement
Dawes was also beyond his use by date and in return you picked up Tim Broomhead
Lumumba is a loss, but the disharmony he causes (supposedly) leaving will help and you should get a decent player or pick for him.

Pretty much. Beams easily the biggest loss

just to add to the misery..Nick Maxwell and Luke Ball  out too.. :-\
