Usually when a player asks for a trade on compassionate grounds the two clubs involved make it happen one way or another. Beams, twice now, and I'm ok with that.
Makes me wonder if Kelly was prepared to go to Fremantle would a deal have been done there?
What pisses me off is both Beams and Kelly did not want to return home as such, more so wanted to go to a certain club, I love that the Cats dug their heels in and made him play his contract.
If he really wanted to go home that bad, he would have taken the Freo deal, I wish Brisbane started dealing with other Melbourne clubs on the Beams deal to test him out also.
I can give Beams a bit of understanding as he came from Collingwood originally & probably would have been a lifelong player there if not for tragic circumstances.
