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

[mistylake]

Carlton wanted Betts to leave to create salary cap space for Thomas.

Far out. That was a master stroke.

 

[SmegHead]

Especially when he's only given 7 years not 8 as is the agreement. We bend over backwards to accommodate and apparently shat on for the effort. Or he stays and Alls good. Will be interesting.
So how long before he must give an answer? Or will he hold out for the last minute to make it difficult to organize a trade. Another campaigner act.

October 9th, first day of the FA offer period. Danger is making a "statement" that players shouldn't be forced into making their minds up before they absolutely have to.

 

[GROTTO]

I held out for as long as I could, but finally entered my Gone vote this morning

Welcome to the Dark Side Luke, the force is strong in you.

Hes gone, too many things adding up now and pretty angry he kept going with the "i haven't thought about it" line all season which is complete rubbish, however....he has served the AFC well, could of been a AFC legend if he remained a one club player but goodbye adios, out the door you go.

Technically he was telling the truth. He hasn't thought about it all year because he made up his mind 12 months ago that he was leaving.

 

[GROTTO]

The dam is truly and fully broken. The flood shall begin.

 

[robboaustralia]

If the club knows they should make a statement/press conference ASAP stating "We will match". No point waiting for Mr.Dangerfield to dictate terms. Same with Worsfold. The sooner we deal with all this crap the better.

 

[ams4crows]

So just curious, is there anyone at all left in the staying camp?

Im hanging by a thread.....

What good will showing our hand do?

For some yes, PD will be a huge loss, but over time we will eventually be able to cover him. Anyone expecting a guaranteed top 8 finish next year is kidding themselves, The AFC need a huge off season.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

The decision of matching the offer from geelong will come down to andrew fagan, am i correct?

All player transactions need to be Board approved

What is danger worth 1m - 1.2? And he's going to Geelong for about 800k? He must seriously want to go home.
What's changed so much, surely we are far better placed than the last year or 2.

Paddy is not the issue in terms of wanting to stay.

I will be if he turns up to mad Monday in a full Geelong kit.

Not going to happen. If the Hawks can only get pick 19 for Buddy, we're not going to be gifted pick 3 for Danger. Imagine the outcry. People are confusing the compensation that applied to the new franchises where Geelong got a mid first round and an end of first round for Ablett.

He'll go as a free agent if we accept a pick after our first rounder, or we'll match and it'll have to be a trade - that's it.

I think both clubs and the AFL already know how it's going to play out.

Oh, it's incredibly unlikely, which is exactly what I said. But the AFL does have the discretion under the FA compensation rules as per the last line here: http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/free-agency to award compensation differently should it see fit.

I would say you can spend that extra if we stay.

The Club is going to make itself look ignorant by not saying anything given the avalanche of rumours and innuendo over the last 12-24 hours.

 

[Combathorse]

In the gone camp. Just ****ing get it over with and **** off.



Not bitter at all*

He'll get more than $800k - it just won't be in the books.

 

[Tantidar]

Surely he can't wait until after the Brownlow to announce it. Supporters (including me) are already turning on him, and you know there will be idiots who will abuse him and Mardie in person. Best to get it over and done with.

Big test for the new admin over next couple of days.

 

[King Elvis]

My head hurts, im hungover, upset and begging god to stop the madness.

I wanna know either way by Wednesday stay or go.... and I want him to do a press conference and explain why he made this decision that members are invited to. I want him to look me in the eye when he Shatters my heart for the 2nd time this year, I want him to see the pain etched all over my face, I want to see him tell a group of kids that all have his number on their back why they won't see their favourite player from their favourite team playing for them any more.

Hungover? Were you in Melbourne too?

 

[FR0GGY]

Well I hope they get nailed then.

 

[King Elvis]

They aren't as stupid as our previous (and some still current) executive; they won't.
