Mega Thread 2014 Free Agency and Trade discussion

[Bowled Shane]

Because that's bending ourselves over and getting violated.

The umps were probably thinking Ablett would take it out in a canter then weren't sure who to vote for after he got hurt, so they gave out votes to whoever.

Better than Heppell, just on the other side of the country.

 

[LeverPuller]

Actually kind of glad Danger didn't win it, means his value didn't go bang.

 

[Punchy Demons]

Bit harsh on Priddis lads.

Gets his hands in the ball more often than not & tackles like a man possessed.

He's not the most polished player but I'd take one of him every day of the week in our team!

Agreed. Still think it went up a little though!

 

[CM Sean]

I enjoyed the new article that said Danger was open to being traded if Adelaide wanted to trade him. Interesting. Throw the entire house at him I say. lol

"Patrick Dangerfield says it is completely in the hands of the club as to whether his name is raised as a trade option.

The 24-year-old Victorian will qualify for free agency at the end of 2015, and a trade this off-season would ensure the Crows get appropriate value for their superstar.

In the past 24 hours, he has been strongly linked with a move to the Melbourne Football Club, for what could include Melbourne's Frawley compensation pick, and one of Jimmy Toumpas or Jack Trengove."

Take it with a grain of salt, came from a somewhat reliable source. Thoughts? Would Pick 3 + Trenners/Toump for Dangerfield be fair? I sure do think so.

 

[Djcjdees]

Sam blease is lucky he ever made it onto an afl List

He has speed






Then nothing


Literally has one move which is to run fast in a straight line
He was a track an field athlete

A bloke with his speed should have been untouchable in the VFL and should have got 40 per game

He was a joke footballer and deserves to be running laps at a country town fair

Which is one more weapon than some of the players on our list

i.e. the AFL website? I don't want to give up Trengove but we could probably cop losing Toumpas, reluctantly.

Nah not AFL website. If Roos is really hellbent on success sooner rather than possible, and wants to inject the team with ready made talent, I could see him shipping Toumpas and the pick off for someone like Dangerfield, or of similar ilk. Toump has a heap of potential, and no matter if he's at the MFC next year or not I hope he goes well, but in all honesty he hasn't shown a great deal of why he was pick #4, injuries and interrupted pre-season's didn't help his cause, but as I said, Roos wants ready made talent and he doesn't want us to sit in another rebuilding faze. That's why I can see this happening. Essentially giving away defender who we no longer want/need and also giving away hope and potential, for one of the game's elite players. Do it MFC.

now we are talking

 

[LeverPuller]

That's it. Danger is proven. Long as we are still drafting in the top 10 I'm okay with putting a package together. What's more is he is only 24. Still a 5-10 year player. Instant upgrade.

 

[hulkhogan1]

Dangerfield this year, Tex next year, may as well call us the Melbourne Crows

 

[DeeWong6996]

I would start going to church everyday for the next year if we managed to pull this heist off.

No way Adelaide should look at this, but better for us if they're hearing footsteps.

 

[Captain Jack]

Melbourne landing Dangerfield would be one of the all-time great coups. Bring it on.

 

[Demon 16]

Pick 3 and Toumpas for Danger would be quite a shafting for Adelaide.

I guess there aren't many clubs in a position to out-negotiate us, so if Adelaide are genuinely concerned about losing him for nothing - it leaves us in a strong bargaining position.

 

[Punchy Demons]

Still no word on the PP/Special Assistance Pick.

Interesting that nothing has been announced yet considering the AFL Commission met yesterday to determine our submission. Gut feel says that they have granted a pick, (end 1st/start 2nd rnd) as last year they had no issue coming out on Brownlow day to announce that the PP submission had been declined.

Only a gut feel though so anything is possible still.

MFC should be going all out to get Dangerfield too. If the above scenario played out I'd be starting with #3 & #20/21 for him. Probably not enough but that would be where I started before shipping off Toumpas.

 

[00Stinger]

Why would Adelaide trade their star player when they have no coach?

 

[Demon 16]

Because they are worried he will leave as a free agent next year.

 

[TDC3]

We gotta throw all we can at landing Danger! A genuine superstar that could be pull us out of this 8 years of hell.

Just think.........

If they think he's leaving it's a great deal for them. I guess GWS could come over the top with a bigger offer but do they have as much cash to offer Danger?

^who did we lose to get Danger. Toumpas, Trenners, both?

Toump. Probably swap Trenners for Salem and then make Salem the sub.

I keep forgetting about JT.

Better than the Melbourne Giants

If they do then we should just offer the million to Shiel
