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

[The Sloane Ranger]

This years and next years I guess. Doubt it'll happen though. Have heard the conspiracy theory that Geelong will purposely downgrade their current pick and get two later picks in return. Use one on Henderson and then shrug their shoulders and say to us "Welp, we've only got picks in the 20's sitting here, guess you better take the compo pick" so we let Danger go without them having to give up something.

AFC response

Better you go and trade for a couple of high first rounders and give us a call when you have them

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Let's stop being in denial.

Wish him well and let's extract as much as we possibly can.

Nope. If we match they have to satisfy us. Under those circumstances I would support the club throwing him to the PSD. His price would be well within the reach of the preceding clubs and Patty gets no say in the matter.

Just got back

Nigel Smart was on the plane so I asked him as follows:

Is he staying?
Who?
Danger
I don't know (and I actually believed him)
When do you think we'll know, after the Brownlow?
Well there's a date..(consults watch)..I think the 8th October when all the free agency stuff gets done..so I guess we'll find out
Ok thanks

And that's all I could get. Sorry guys. Seemed to genuinely not know, but then maybe he doesn't get told

Also saw Brad Crouch in a moon boot and on two crutches. I hope it's less serious than it looks

That's confirmation enough for me.

Crouch had more surgery recently to get him ready for next year I believe, so not surprised he's still in a moon boot.

One door shuts another one opens

Hopefully the club has done alot of planning to get the best leverage from Danger leaving that will enable us to be a major off season player in strengthening our list

 

[Interloperer]

Adelaide can't be trusted with early draft picks. May as well be trading for magic beans.

And right there is the guy everyone is counting on to "replace" Danger. FMD.

25 gamer. 11 games in 2 years. Get your hopes up, Crows fans.

So finally you have accepted that he is leaving?

I wish him no ill, but no well either.

 

[Mike Smyth]

So will the drama qyeen grace us wth a decision today or squeeze another weeks worth of attention out of the long running saga.

Apparently considered by some as the start of being able to replace Dangers loss in the midfield.

It will be after the B&F.

Our drafting has been much better recently, when we've actually had the picks.

I'll wish him safe travels and a happy life with his missus and her family, but I'll hope he never wins another AFL final until the day he retires.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Why would we wish him well. After the Walsh tragedy he is abandoning the club and his teammates when they need him most.

Zero character and integrity imo.

Wrong.

Brad Crouch
Smith

Sellar (2006)

So - 9 years since our last first round flop. So, you are wrong.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Wish him well

No.

 

[Redleg Crow]

As I've said elsewhere, we are not losing Danger to be replaced by Crouch, we're losing Danger+Crouch to be replaced by ????+Crouch.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

One thing is for sure, this will be the most interesting off season for our club I can remember.
Unlike the people on here who love bagging our club, I have full faith that we will get the right coach and get the very best compensation possible for Danger.

I was gonna say, if there's one thing we do seem to do well over the last few years it's drafting. We struggle to hold on to some of 'em, but we're pretty damn good at picking 'em and developing them from there.

 

[GROTTO]

Plenty of times players tell the Club they are not attending when they intend to leave. I wonder if the AFC would ban him from attending?

 

[Redleg Crow]

The lack of seeing Danger and Crouch together for 100+ games is one of the saddest things about his leaving. Could have been an all-time great partnership.

 

[Iron]

Seeing as everyone knows now, why would he wait? It's already going to be awkward. Just be up front.
