Re: Steven swap for Beams
Lycett? Hmm him and Vardy were changing a fair bit. He’s s big brute. Contests well though I noticed he would go up one handed if he couldn’t mark it rather than spoil. That was up foward. A few did that in packs it may be a set rule

Re: Steven swap for Beams
*here
this is really silly season.
How about this rumour- Tom Hawkins, Jack Reiwoldt and Dane Rampe to Saints for a very very late pick.
About as likely

Re: Steven swap for Beams
No way , Beams is a good player Jack is as good if not better IMO .If this trade actually happens I would be extremely disappointed . He is the only bloke on our list that has a red hot crack every week .I know his disposal can sometimes let him down but should not even be considered for a trade IMO

Re: Steven swap for Beams
Don't know the exact figure on how much game time or how he rotates/works with Vardy but made a point of watching him for obvious reasons and on pure optics I didn't find anything to be impressed with, however having said that it was a nothing game and looked like the whole team was moving in slow gears. Although Ryan and Rioli have got some tricks.saintsRrising wrote: ↑Mon 27 Aug 2018 7:56pmBeejesus. Did Lycett play a whole game? If so Martin him one hell of a hiding if stats are anything to go by.
Put it this way, I went from watching Lycett and then Marshall and I am still scratching my head as to why we would sacrifice nothing short of throwing everyting at recruiting as many midefielders as possible. We are arguably fully stocked for backman, forwards and rucks. Depth and quality in the middle is surely the most pressing need this trade period.

Re: Steven swap for Beams
It s***s me that we have another thread for the same rumour. Makes this place messy. Surely we could tidy up a bit a la bigfooty
Whilst we don’t need a single thread for all trades surely we only need a max of 1 thread per trade rumour?

Re: Steven swap for Beams
This guy has had a long string of injuries...just like our boy. But we know ours why trade? Better the mid you know than the mid you dont...only upside Parkey is that Beams can lead a team our boy won't or cant step up.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Mon 27 Aug 2018 5:23pm Pointless if true. Why give up our no 1 midfielder that can run all day, is quick, gets heaps of footy and can kick goals for a guy no better or worse and is the same age.

I'm just happy if Jack just keeps playing like he did yesterday.

Ah rookie mistake. You are using logic and footie judgement rather than a Master Plan.Cairnsman wrote: ↑Mon 27 Aug 2018 8:34pm

Re: Steven swap for Beams
I think Beams is marginally a better player. But overall a safer move would be to stay with Jack. Unless he actually wants to move.

You lost me at Steven being a better player than Beams.
Agree the swap doesn't make sense but saying the above just insane.

Re: Steven swap for Beams
I will never understand your strong dislike of Jack Steven and how it has persevered this long...
At least be like the rational supporters and hate the players that clearly can’t play like Weller, Longer, Newnes, Hickey... the list is endless really.
But Steven? Pbly our best player... and that’s not his fault.
Elaborate please?

Re: Steven swap for Beams
Very good at getting possessions, very bad at disposal by hand and foot. And, he is simply not tall and strong enough. Jack was lionised as the player who would lead us to glory. That, as I said about 7 years ago, was rubbish. If he was going to be the best player in our team, it would lead us to the bottom. Skills are everything. The reason Richmond is on top is because Hardwick churned poor disposers, even though some were high possession winners, in order to get a team that rarely turns it over. Beams can kick on both feet - if you can stand it, watch GF2 to see what I mean. He makes the most of his disposals.skeptic wrote: ↑Tue 28 Aug 2018 3:32pmI will never understand your strong dislike of Jack Steven and how it has persevered this long...

Re: Steven swap for Beams
Stevens is our Joffa Cunningham from the mid 80’s.
Good player but not quite elite.
Ideally should be our second or third best mid.

Re: Steven swap for Beams
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
Steven is a headless chook with ball in hand but not in the league of our esteemed captain or Newnes!Like Gilbert he at least tries to get the ball going in the right direction.
