No Oppo Supporters Re-signing Tex, Danger and Sloane *** Crows Only ***

[fabs33]

I like Danger, he's one of my favourite players at the moment, but this is a sport where 22 take the field each game and losing one player won't destroy us, Hawthorn proved that last year when they lost the best power forward of the last decade, got practically nothing in return and still won the premiership. It's simply the nature of professional sports that players come and players go, so it's best not to get overly emotional about it.

What concerns me the most is not the prospect of losing him but the possibility that some club might offer him a contract like Franklin got from Sydney where the offering club isn't afraid to cripple themselves for the foreseeable future salary cap wise just to get one of the best and most marketable players at present, resulting in us not being able to match it and leaving us with nothing but the compensation the AFL gives us, which is nowhere near his value.

Interesting.

But the calendar clearly knows more.

If you were listening, Lingy basically said he had NFI.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

How good would it be to see the AFC Twitter account post the itshappening.gif?

Not gonna happen, but I'll keep wishing for it like I wish to win the lottery.

Friday on the eve of our clash with Geelong

That would be priceless

Make it happen AFC, I know you're reading this.

Lingy owns half of Geelong and if hw has NFI neither does any other member of the Melbourne media

 

[fabs33]

The last time I trusted a calendar I thought the world was going to end in 2012.


Damn you Mayans!!!

Like everybody else.

Including the calendar.

 

[Aaron929]

Not sure what Rowie is on - he says Danger is on the front of the Geelong calendar, which he isn't.

Lingy: "I haven't heard much. My sense, my feel from afar is that I'm erring to him staying... Whether he stays or goes I don;t know, but having gone through all that [Walsh] if you put me on the spot I'd say, "Stays", But I really got no idea"

The thing about Danger on the Geelong front of Calendar, was a joke!

 

[Runnin Blue]

Maybe he's bullshitting to protect Geelong's interests?

This I honestly believe

I assumed so, but given Rowe has that expression where every statement he makes is OTT it's hard to work it out sometimes!

 

[Redleg Crow]

What's there to protect? If he's going he's going. It's not like it's a secret that Geelong are after him, and Lingy saying, "I reckon he's gone" is going to upset the negotiations

 

[Runnin Blue]

This I honestly believe

It's "learned".


EDIT: the quote feature is playing up. This was in response to your "learnings" comment.

Failed that joke, did I.

 

[Bovo]

Maybe he's bullshitting to protect Geelong's interests?

Nah he was not coy. He was extremely genuine.....especially if you heard everything else related to it!!!

 

[Runnin Blue]

Ok, so he's not out to protect Geelong's interests, but some people on here think it's plausible that Danger, Roo, Fages and everyone else involved is keeping the news that Danger's staying quiet, so the AFC can go on a recruiting spree?

I'd be far more inclined to believe this if they took the same approach to out of contract players at other clubs - Henderson is in Carlton's, Adcock is in Brisbane's, and as some bellend pointed out earlier, there's half a dozen guys in Geelong's who won't be playing in 2016. Danger seems to be the only guy who's been left out.

I'm not sure what people aren't understanding about it not being created by, or having anything to do with the AFC. It is a calendar created by a third party company under license from the AFL, that features photos of Adelaide Crows players. Doesn't Adcock being in Brisbane's tell you that the club doesn't have any input into it? It was a club decision not to offer him another contract, so I doubt their marketing department would use him as a player on the cover if they had anything to do with making it.

Hypothetically, lets say the club does have something to do with it's production (even though it's been established that they don't). After remaining tight lipped about Dangerfield's future all season, why on earth would they give confirmation one way or another to a third party company?

Dangers one of the biggest guys in the AFL though, so it's a lot more noticeable than Henderson or Adcock.

Pesky Mayans.

I'd be happy with both.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Just listened to it Rowe is like to bicks your guaranteeing me he's staying on a 2 year deal, bicks is like i haven't gone that hard then asked lingy and lingy said he's leaning towards staying.

Had Ling seen the calendar before he said this?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Maybe he's bullshitting to protect Geelong's interests?

Of course he is

 

[Hank93]

Crows have just cancelled open training for Friday morning in Geelong.

They brang up the calendar, before they started talking about it
