List Mgmt. OFFICIAL: Dangerfield + Pick 50 for Picks 9, 28 and Dean Gore

[Seeds]

Well based on that then there is only 1 example, hardly enough evidence as Rabbi was suggesting.

I would think Carlton's salary cap breach put them way back before Judd did and Judd was a trade, not FA.

Fair point.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

I hope so. Injuries permitting, may be the last piece of the puzzle for our next flag push.

Although I think we'll still need a tagger...Maybe another ruck again...

I think we've got some options in this regard. Someone like Jansen or even Dean Gore strike me as guys that would enjoy the challenge of trying to negate the oppositions best midfielder every week, whilst also having the physical capabilities to do it.

Umm Guthrie?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We didn't offer that for Ablett who is a superior player

We offered Ablett between 4.5 mil and 5 mil over 5 years and the club was quite clear at the time that this would have required us to move on extra players to accomodate it had he stayed, as our cap was very tight in 2010.

Therefore given our cap is likely to be a lot less tight this year and Adelaide can match an offer, it is fairly likely we would be offering Dangerfield a million a season

Geelong.

I respect you as a poster Son of God and have done for a while but it's frustrating reading some of this stuff because it gets peoples hopes up and keeps us positive for a while but like we saw with Frawley, that can quickly turn sour.

After reading a few of your posts on that particular subject, I was fairly hopeful Frawley was going to be our Lonergan replacement for the next 5 years but it wasn't to be and in doing so, expectations had to be adjusted.

I think until Dangerfield officially signs with the club then he's not going to be a Geelong player and we should expect this to be the case and look forward to Caddy, Guthrie, Horlin-Smith & co elevating their games just as the new kids on the block of 2001 did.

I understand your concerns and rightlfully so. I only give information from what I'm told. My source is Neil Balme who's no longer with us, and I was told in no uncertain terms that Frawley has an agreement to join us on a deal. He reneged and was offered a bigger deal by Hawthorn and left me with egg on my face...I accept that and I wear the consequences.

Danger has told the club he will play for Geelong and Geelong only. With this one I'm willing to take the good with the bad, (again) but don't shoot the messenger. That's all I'll say for now.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Umm Guthrie?

Yeah they might leave him there long term but I suspect that after Enright and Kelly retire he will be moved to half back to provide some stability and guidance for Bews and Thurlow. I don't think we'll want another player in our defense with less than 50 games playing alongside those other two so Guthrie seems the most logical choice, particularly if we do happen to land Danger through FA.

I think if you add Danger to Selwood, Caddy and H-S on the inside with Duncan, Motlop, Cockatoo and Lang on the outside along with Jansen or Gore playing a run-with role we could afford the luxury of playing Guthrie back in defense.

 

[Jon Douglas]

I really just cannot see Dangerfield leaving the Crows - even more so if they have a decent season.

Only if the Crows were imploding would he leave IMO.

I couldn't see Ablett ever leaving Geelong either.

I've posted a few times that I've been told from a high ranking Hawk official that we lost Frawley because of our finals performance, his perception of the club changed when he saw how pathetic we were.

Hawks thought he was coming to Geelong too. In fact, when they first inquired he told them he had agreed to come to Geelong and they had not contacted him after that. But after the GF, he change his mind, told his manger he wanted Hawthorn, we have ourselves to blame.

If we're to be successful with luring Danger, we need to first look a hell of a lot better during the season (no 2 half fade outs) and then an improved finals performance, I mean we barely gave a whimper in 4 qtrs of footy (first half against Norf, and 2nd half against Hawks) for a team in flag contention.

We also have to beat Crows on the ladder that's for sure.

Danger's coming regardless of ladder position. I've left myself open again but so be it. If he remains at Adelaide and doesn't sign with Geelong, I'll shout The rabbi and Willo_ a free night on the piss.

Or we could just get Enright and Kelly to give Thurlow and Bews some guidance. Guthrie may go back long term and he may not. Staggers me how all you guys think its almost a certainty that he will go back that you won't even consider him as a tagger, the very position he played this year and the position where he has so far played his best footy for the club.

And seriously we are now talking about Danger like he is a certainty to be on our list?

And why I'm on a rant what is with all the Taylor Swift avatars. They are everywhere on this board at the moment. Do you people have zero taste?

It will be hard for Enright or Kelly to give them guidance if they're retired mate. C'mon use your head a little bit please.

Guthrie has never been a tagger and never will. He plays a run with role in which there is a difference to what you're suggesting.

Regarding Danger i think I said IF, so in the future please read my posts more carefully so I don't have to reply to things that I shouldn't have to.

I love Taylor Swift, what can I say haha! Happy B'day darling!!!

 

[Stan The Caddy]

the only flaw is that surely Frawley would have realized we were fairly thin in replacements. Even though we had a ruckman in McIntosh, we had no Simpson and McIntosh had to be subbed out of the game in the final quarter against Hawthorn.
I know I sometimes use injuries as an excuse but we have to be realistic and put things into perspective because had Frawley looked back to round 5 when we did have two fit rucks, we saw what a difference they made.

The following week was just a formality given we had neither genuine rucks nor Johnson as we were thin on midfielders given Christensen's absence.

Very bewildering decision by Frawley because with Vardy, Cowan & Johnson to return, and now the inclusions of Stanley & Clark, we will see how he goes against those guys in R1, when the team is at full strength.

Footballers aren't always the most intelligent people mate.

Bobby , although Alkanphel info sort makes Frawley sound petty and very short sighted , it confirms how scarred he was from a Melb losing POV. He has one shot at FA and he want the best winning side he could go to . We can look past the loss to a degree , see the kids we have but the age paradigm of the list which means we need this kids develop. Frawley is probably heard that song too many times.

The irony is I feel they are us 2011 . They may get it right better than us or have a bit more luck but I do feel their recognised best players will only ease of from here. I feel they have a better feel for the FA and trade than we did post 2011 but Hodge , Bourgyne , Mitchell etc ..re not getting any younger.

Retired? Do you have news that I don't? Pretty sure they are playing next year. Enright will retire at the end of next year but Kelly has another year after that. He was great this year and has plenty in him (assuming you don't solely focus on his injury plagued final series when he was played out of position).

Guthrie has never been a tagger? Where were you when all the posters were complaining about how Guthrie should been taken from his tagging role and used more offensively, or when Cornesy was throwing a hissy fit over Guthries close tagging role on Danger or when commentators were putting him in mock state teams as the designated tagger?

What if Danger breaks his leg this season?

That will leave 4 people (1 player, 3 posters) legless.
