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

[Pdub]

All this talk about matching offers isn't going to matter anyway.

I'm calling it, Danger will stay with the AFC.

There has been a bit of talk the last few weeks about him signing a one or two year contract.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

it wouldnt be ridiculous for them if they offered 1.2 mill one year contract and then paid him 500k a year for the rest of his career

Won't help him get to Geelong though

Certainly seems to be a lot less panic internally than externally

I would be betting on a 2 year deal.

 

[baldandbroke]

I'd like it to work like this in terms of movement of players.

ANY un-contracted (not delisted) player that wants to move - seek a trade, if no trade can be done the player goes into the PSD draft and his old club get the pick immediately after he is picked up.

Simple.

Using Dangerfield as an example - either Geelong trade for something better than an early pick (coz that is where he would be picked up) or they risk the PSD and use their lowest pick on him and we get the next pick anyway. Risk - reward. If they don't want to take the risk then trade something that locks him in ... if they want to risk him getting picked up by another club that is their choice.

3 year deal and trade him after 2.

Well my sources, 2 of them, are both internal and have all but confirmed it.

This was last week.

There is a quiet confidence emanating from the club.

We've said so little about it. Haven't reacted, aren't releasing statements about the situation, not trying to hose down speculation, not giving ultimatums or deadlines. Just a straight no comment every time. Rinse, repeat.

Not necessarily confidence that he'll re-sign, but at least that we have the situation under control.

Tomato?

 

[Shoota Welsh]

The deal has to be at least 2 years and the AFC should be able to match anything Geelong does, we should have more money than them. The only offer from Geelong we might not match would be length, if they offered a 10+ year deal we may not be willing to match because we don't want him to accept the offer and stay with a contract where he will be getting paid for years after he retires.

i hate it how melbourne media is making it out like 'can we still sign dangerfield after weve signed tex, douglas, sloane'. like as if we wouldnt be able to sign him..... hawthorn have hodge, lewis, roughead etc etc we will have massive amoutns of money. just 12 months ago we offered cameron 1 mill a year

 

[Bacon8]

well what are we going to get in return on the trade table anyway if they trade their first to henderson? i cannot see motlop leaving if he knows dangerfield is coming.. im getting ready to get royally f*cked over once again. feel sick just thinking about this happening to us AGAIN

If Geelong don't offer Motlop a contract, he can't stay there.

Henderson isn't a FA. If Geelong trade their 1st before finalizing the deal for Danger, then Danger would feel aggrieved at not being their main priority. Because the matched deal would happen before trade week starts.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

can not remember where I read it but David Noble said more signings are due.

If so, announce it ffs

Communications strategy is definitely intentional.

The focus on Danger from the media makes other things easier to do.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

No, what I have been saying is that if Dangerfield agrees to go to Geelong, Connors will ensure that the cats offer up decent value, which will still be unders but more than fa compensation. He will not allow the cats to trade out their 1st rounder for another deal as it will jeopardise his client.

So in other words ...Geelong would have to choose between Henderson and Dangerfield

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I agree.

1st rounder & decent player like a motlop is the value.

Correct .....that first rounder would have to be a top 10 pick though

The Dangerfield trade would not be an easy one for Geelong

 

[WaynesWorld19]

3.2 mill over 5 years we would easily match.

Because Geelong have the same TPP policy as us .....any offer will be matchable

 

[FR0GGY]

I can't see him doing 2 years, if he's ever going to go, now is the time or 3 years ago.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So in other words ...Geelong would have to choose between Henderson and Dangerfield

Or trade out decent players.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Or trade out decent players.

They'd have to trade a player anyway to get a lower first round pick

In a rebuild that Geelong is in ...they're hardly going to want to sell the farm (trade out good players) to get Dangerfield

 

[BunjiMac]

Tomato?

keyser soze

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Always said Dangerfield would stay .....IMO another 2 year contract up to his unrestricted Free Agency period

 

[Wood_Duck]

We really want to sign a guy for 2 years against his will so that he can walk out on us in 2 years time?

 

[adelaidecrows]

They will try and get Danger and Henderson to try and snare one last premiership for the golden era. I think they will not hesitate to offer their first rounder and a player to get Danger.

 

[FR0GGY]

Why would he want to walk out on us in 2 years time? Surely if we are going to challenge its from then on. So go now or stay till the end.
