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

[RodnyDangrfield]

Tex signed for three years, taking his contract up to the end of 2018.

If Sloane signs for four years, his contract will expire at the end of 2019. Which is good because having three major players come out of contract at the same time isn't great.

We know

If Danger wants success, Collingwood and Geelong are both pretty lousy choices. They're in no better position than we are for the next few years. Arguably worse.

He's holding out to see if we come good. Nothing is going to change until the season warms up. Can't believe how many here are changing their opinion like the change of wind!

I honestly think he hasn't made his mind up.

If he leaves he won't go anywhere but Geelong, and that will be to go home. I've been led to believe success isn't his number one priority. I've also been told that if there's a good market for Danger going home, to place a cheeky bet though.

Fingers, toes and balls crossed he stays - terrible terrible loss if he goes.

I hope we smash them on July 5th and make it very clear where he's more likely to win a premiership.

We fly As one

If you have twitter have a look at the crap Danger is getting for posting 60,000 members for the Crows #weflyasone
Just about every comment is well sign then or 1 year then #youflytothecats.

 

[CharlieCrow]

CharlieCrow also suggested that the Crows were moving to Adelaide Uni and that the groundwork had been done. That appears to be incorrect.

So that makes me 50/50. If Im wrong about Sloane I'll be 33%. Hang on, that's the Weed's number! I must be wrong!

It's been that way for aaaaaaggggggeeeesss. He could tweet "Hey, just smoked some crack and banged a hooker" and people would reply "Was it an Adelaide hooker or a Geelong one? Re-sign Paddy!"

Like most celebs on Twitter I'd suggest he has become very adept at ignoring the comments - but year - click on the link and you see them all

 

[Redleg Crow]

It also goes to the discussion earlier on in the thread about Danger using Twitter less than in the past. It'd be pretty tiring getting all the crap comments whenever he posts on anything.

He is certainly using twitter more than Sloane

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Didn't Tex sign for 4 years too? Why we gotta sign all these guys to be out of contract at the same time (provided that Sloane news is true)

I'm comfortable signing up our gun players for 4 years... Particularly if we renegotiate contracts in their final year.

Always has hasn't he?

If your woman looked like Sloaneys, you'd put the mobile phone down too

If Mackay is the benchmark then 5 years is the absolute minimum. Unless we're talking about sub-$200k contracts.

It's quite clear to all and sundry that 4 years is not the benchmark.

Time to move on from your hate for David methinks.

 

[JPetro83]

Him tweeting that means nothing. Imean sure Franklin and Ablett did the same in their final year of their contract.

Tells you what my mate, Mackay got 4 years and he's a candidate to rely on injury to still be selected by about half way through this year. I understand the faith (speed, elite kick) that many continue to show in this bloke. But it's a complete lie, he's not fast and he doesn't posess elite disposal. He's the exact poster child of everything that has been wrong with our list management over the last few years.

VB, Hendo, Sloane and even the hard working Martin will control our wings. Mackay will end up being a less than handy SANFL player.

 

[JPetro83]

Too much McKay bashing.. he's had one bad year IMO. He will be better this year. We all will be.

 

[JPetro83]

When does Talia qualify for FA? 2018? OR 2017?

 

[JPetro83]

Anyone catch afl360 tonight? Robbo seems sold that Danger is gone. Hoping the bye week before round 10 is the week we secure his signature but come on....it doesn't look good. How come come we haven't heard any figures in what we are offering him?

did they?

I think you're being a bit harsh there, he's reasonably quick, not danger or smith but hardly rutten (More like sloane). I think with walsh's quick ball movement plan into open space will suit mackay to a T, he could have a breakout year. If he doesn't then there are no excuses left and he is trade bait or needs another role.

Always thought he looked like a better player in Neil Craig era......

 

[fairfooty]

At the risk of stirring up a hornets nest, Ill be much more concerned if Sloane doesn't sign and we lose him than Danger. Sloane IMO is far more valuable to us long-term.

Ok, so that's the final excuse? The thing about Mackay is that despite poor years, he always benefits from one more. It's due to the lie that he's fast and has elite disposal. He's not fast and he doesn't have elite disposal.
