That leaves them with very little to match bids for Quaynor and Kelly - their next pick is pick 51. The points value of the remaining picks they currently hold is 635, which grosses up to 794 with the discount. That will match a bid at around pick 23/4 (it falls between the two values and I don't know if the AFL rounds up or down). That's just for one player, and some draft pundits have Quaynor going higher.
Can they afford to bring Beams in without trading another player out?
Chances are that the Lions will say no, anyway, but if they do budge I wonder what Collingwood will do.
