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

[Pugsley]

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.

That we will.

Recruiting interstate players always have an element of risk

However

Recruiting interstate players with partners who have family with such strong community ties back home would add a extra level of retention risk

 

[Tantidar]

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?

I hope so

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.

It's no wonder some people get accused of being a troll with ignorant comments like the one posted.

Not yours.

 

[pjcrows]

Let's stop being in denial.

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

There we have it.

 

[relapse]

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.

Geelong will know before the trade period starts whether we're matching or not. They are not going to get Henderson and put their ability to get Danger into jeopardy.

People need to stop worrying about the ramblings of numpty Geelong supporters who have no idea what they're talking about.

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

Probably wants to have his cake and eat it too or something. Soak up some last congrats, potentially celebrate a B&F and Brownlow win with his teammates and then announce he's off to Geelong.

 

[GROTTO]

I hope so

Why create a potential embarrassment at our Club during the best and fairest night?

He doesnt want to be here. So tell him dont let the door hit him om the way out.

It's pretty hard to stomach that. He's had a great year. Has served us well. But he's decided to leave after 7 years, not 8, in a year we need him the most. He needs to cut the ties and let us move on ASAP.

Cowardice.

Team first culture

Use this situation to add quality to our needs

We are set for inside miss, we need to strengthen our list deficiencies

Here it is.

Have a feeling he has known for months.

 

[Iron]

Cowardice.

I don't think so. I think he genuinely believes he's doing the club and its supporters a favour. Like he owes us or something.

We're going to see this board slip very quickly into the disgusted 'get him out of my sight' phase very soon.

 

[Elite Crow]

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

Yeah Smith, Danger, Davis and Talia are shit, idiot

I've been there for a while mate. I don't want players that don't want to be here. Would have preferred he ****ed off when we could have traded him last contract.

 

[40porpoise]

I still don't understand the point of restricted free agency? The rules are there for a reason, why on earth wouldn't we match and force him to stay here? Players and clubs can't just make up the rules to suit themselves every time they want to abandon a club

 

[Redleg Crow]

When is the B&F? (And surely Laird wins it?)

 

[FR0GGY]

Buddy and Tippett

Buddy done deal at GWS

Tippett done deal to GC

Boak done deal to Geelong

J Cameron Is homesick and want out of living in Sydney

Fair point but they weren't as definate and for as long as this shit has gone on.

I can't remember the Boak one being a done deal as they wouldn't have need to fly over here if it was a forgone conclusion?

 

[Cleric]

Rucci just proving he has no idea "Well if he's accepting unders to go to geelong, that's the reason you don't match. You don't want to keep someone who doesn't want to be there". We match to force a trade you balding idiot! Blind freddy and his blind corgi knows that.

He wants us not to match so he can write an article saying how we should of matched.

 

[Tantidar]

Next Saturday

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

To match or not to match, the club should be discussing this with the AFL

Either the AFL gives us two juicy first round picks as compensation which they can do because it is up to the AFL Commission's discretion or we match and force a trade

I wouldn't be surprised if this has already been agreed to

On the contrary. Danger has disdain for football supporters and the press. His regular radio spots have been little more than trolling for the last 12 months. People that know him will tell you that he is a bit odd and even on the narcissistic side. He is not the most popular player in the team.

 

[FR0GGY]

Here's hoping we can make a Judd for gaff and Kennedy situation

I don't get this whole family thing. Once you have done your annual 5 minute catch up what is there to talk about?

I'm basking in the buffer zone!

 

[Squiba]

Well, one things for sure, if he really hadn't made up his mind yet (which I think is unlikely) he definitely won't be staying.
