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

[rezagun]

Epic is being incredibly generous. He tried hard.

I thought Jacobs was good too.

Thommo was epic in the showdown not last night. Jacobs clearly our best. Our midfield was slaughtered again.

 

[dogs105]

Think I might go to a Geelong hawthorn game next year and hold up a sign
"Mitchell, give Patrick a corgi!"

Why not do it at an Adelaide Hawthorn game?

 

[FR0GGY]

Why not do it at an Adelaide Hawthorn game?

I'd look like an idiot apparently

 

[dogs105]

I'd look like an idiot apparently

But at least Danger would get to see it

 

[FR0GGY]

But at least Danger would get to see it

On TV

 

[MRB37]

Scott gave it away in his interview. Doesn't want to talk about a player who isn't on the list "yet".

 

[footy4ever]

all this talk about aish/menzel, none of them look at all likely to actually come here not to mention neither is even close to making up for dangerfield. these are borderline best 22 players atm.

So true.

I couldn't give a Blighty's rats if neither come to the crows. Mmyeah, Menzel maybe.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

What has changed your mind? Surely not the media crap in the last 24 hours?

Not the last 24 hours in isolation, just joining the dots

Any player who has not committed to their club at this point of the season must be viewed as high flight risk

If Danger wanted to stay there would be every reason to announce his decision by now

EDIT: It was Chunky C's post that finally convinced me that he is gone

 

[Redleg Crow]

We are not going to be able to replace Danger with one player. About the only bloke in the league for whom I'd be happy in a straight swap would be Bontempelli, and that ain't happening.

So if he's going it's all about cobbling together a number of players that brings us out ahead. ie not just someone to replace Danger but also VB and Mackay etc. So that
Replacement Danger+Replacement VB+Replacement Mackay+KPD > Danger+VB+Mackay

I do think there is some sense in waiting to commit/announce until after the season.

 

[footy4ever]

Most are based on the fact that Chris Scott was on Fox Footy tonight and pretty much all but implied that Danger was going there next year.

Can you paraphrase what Scott actually said, or how he acted?

 

[GROTTO]

I do think there is some sense in waiting to commit/announce until after the season.

Wouldnt surprise me if there is some sought of pay day for Danger when he makes the announcement and the story is broken from one of the media outlets.

Cloke got $50k when he signed on with the Pies from the Footy Show. Talk about nepotism.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I do think there is some sense in waiting to commit/announce until after the season.

I can see that however its usually the exception and not the rule

I've been confident all year that Danger would stay, now I'm not so sure

I'm happy for Danger to prove so many wrong

 

[GROTTO]

B&F next Saturday night, that will be interesting.

 

[Mike Smyth]

To be honest when Phil was murdered I thought to myself no way could paddy leave now. Looks like I totally misjudged his character.

 

[King Elvis]

I thought he was staying until about a fortnight ago.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

The chances of us getting two first round picks for danger are slim at best.

He's staying so doesn't really matter.

I know you've been saying this for awhile, but how confident are you on this now? Even TSR seems to have given up hope.

I reckon you might give Nat Fyfe just a little consideration perhaps??

 

[LeverFever]

Well if any of you want to try and get any inside info/goss from the players half the team is at the watermark right now getting into the beers. I'm sure a few "well done boys" shots will coax some interesting tidbits out. I'd have done it but had to leave early.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So when he leaves will we finally address the reasons why quality players leave this club? Its cost us a possible premiership in the last 5 years.

No we won't

Just another anomaly

 

[footy4ever]

Spoke to someone in the know. Asked about danger. Told me he didn't know and that the players he had discussed it with had said they hadn't been told by danger yet.

I'm not saying danger is undecided but I would have thought the playing group would know his intentions

…or at least get a feel for his intentions.

 

[GROTTO]

"I'm sure it's a family decision for him and he’ll make the right call – I don't think he needs me to try and persuade him to stay or to go,"


"It's up to Danger, he'll make a decision when the dust settles."

Walker said.

Get the feeling Tex that the decision was made many months ago.

Grand Final Footy Show? I can see it happening. Snake.

 

[ams4crows]

You did the right thing - violence wasn't the answer; alcohol was.

5'3 is borderline midget anyway; the guy sounds like a real dickhead to carry on like that.

Hahaha yeah I'm not tall......I got mega drunk and danced the night away..... who ever was the band at the Elephant last night were cool they played songs you wanted to scream the lyrics too...... also understood their audience we were all in our mid to late 20's unlike the DJ who thought playing Justin Bieber was a good idea..... should of been fired on the spot.

Reading between the lines Dangerfield's not one of them?
