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

[pjcrows]

FWIW - Brenton Sanderson was just on ABC with Whateley and he believes that it is still not known what Danger will do. He said Chris Scott obviously knows that he is a strong chance to be at Geelong but said Patrick is a unique individual and wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he comes out tomorrow and announces a 5 year deal with Adelaide.

Hope he signs with us this week

Please stop believing he is staying he is long gone.

I would go harder at Geelong. 2 first rounders and Gregson.

They are desperate for him. Plus their first rounders are not exactly top 5 picks either.

You miss the point. Taking Geelongs first rounder(s) hurts them. Taking a compo pick doesn't.

Therefore match

Oh FFS. Stop throwing straws at me to clutch!!!

According to some caller on 3aw she heard the Adelaide runner at Geelong V Adelaide say to a mate in the crowd that Dangerfield wants to go back. Doesn't sound like she was making it up either. The club definitely knows.

Go back to the half back flank?

I think he's agreeing with you? I can't see where he's missed the point.

 

[pjcrows]

Whateley also believes it won't be as simple as "Danger wants to go to Geelong, therefore he will get there easily"

 

[Crowbling]

Changing the subject a tad - Sando has been very professional since we let him go.

He is a good man.

In sando we trust

Leigh Matthews asked Caro on 3AW how does everyone know Danger is going, Lloyd was also on. Her response:

Danger has always let it be known his heart is in Moggs Creek
Dwayne Russell has ties in Geelong, Adelaide and is close to Danger and he is adamant he's going. Inferring Danger has told him and some others he's going.

Nothing concrete I would have thought.

Also Matthews said Crows should definitely match because Danger would play his heart out no matter what and doesn't hate the Crows.

Having said that matching will force a trade.

Considering the stories that Danger played a big role in Sando being given the arse, he's being very mature about all this.

 

[I_Was_There]

Either that, and hopefully is true, or the AFC holds one or more very embarrassing pieces of information that they have agreed not to make public.

 

[Elite Crow]

If some recall very early in the year I mentioned an ex senior board member told someone I know that he was going. Would not surprise this came out last years trade period when we wanted him to commit and he wouldn't.

If this happens I will delete my big footy account!!

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Any link for this?

Nah sorry was just out in the shed hiding from life and heard it. He was talking very confidently and said he has stayed out of all of the dealings...

You may be able to find it on the ABC somewhere...on the line

 

[mickfaxis]

Our most exciting off season has already begun.

With little players of note out there for the taking, it will possibly end up a fizzer for us. Heck...even Aish looks like he might even stay at Brisbane!!!

 

[Mike Smyth]

Adelaide must match the offer. There are alot of members waiting to see how they handle this before they hand over their hard earned $$$.

 

[Iron]

The only reason we wouldn't match is if:

a) we're happy with compo (we shouldn't be unless the AFL does something unprecedented)
b) we want a club that finished around the same place on the ladder as us - ie a direct rival next year - to have a top 3 player for free

Sorry but what other reason is there for not matching?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

They are complete morons on the Geelong board.

We can not match, because Carlton didn't match for Betts. We received Betts for nothing, therefore it's only fair they receive Dangerfield for nothing.

Except, the part they are forgetting - Carlton had the choice to match but didn't.

Only way we don't match...

1) the AFL say we will receive 2 top 10 picks.

 

[mickfaxis]

In 2011, our club made good use of its draft picks and fringe players(Maric/Armstrong) to help mitigate the loss of Davis and Gunston, whilst putting the wheels in place to cover the loss of Kurt(unfortunately we weren't counting on Tippett taking 2x firsts and 2x seconds with him and offering nothing in return).

We netted Crouch, Brown, Lynch, Jenkins, Kerridge, Grigg, CEY that trade/draft period, for Davis, Gunston, Maric, Armstrong and our draft picks that year. That's 4 best 22 players, plus 3 fringe players, who've all proven capable at the highest level.

If Danger leaves, we need a similar style trade period and there certainly appears to be some quite catchable fish in the ocean.

As a side note, if we do lose Danger, I think we should definitely chase Bennell. It's a risk, no doubt, but we need to be bold if we're to recover from Paddy's loss. Even if we were to grab Menzel, Aish and Hampton, there's still a massive talent hole in our side, Bennell goes a long way to fixing that and likely would only cost one first rounder plus some steak knives.

The only adequate player compensation for Danger would be Bennell IMO.

Still need a coach.

Never going to happen.
