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

[Ramify]

Something seems seriously twisted about Caros scoop. just can't put my finger on it.

 

[Smithtastic33]

Saying that, how would she know?

Unless Danger was her source

 

[Runnin Blue]

Are you an elephant?

Nah. With the amount of alcohol I've consumed over the years, I'm surprised I remembered that!

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Would Danger really do that to us? Probably not

Yes of course.

If he thinks we've pushed him into a corner by not meekly accepting compo so he and mardi can live happily ever after at Moggs to our detriment then things will turn nasty soon enough.

Likely these scenarios have already played out behind closed doors.

 

[ams4crows]

Connors definitely implied that we should know Dangers intentions in the coming days.... this week even. THANK GOD! I'm completely over this nonsense and whilst ive been in the staying camp this whole time and kinda still hoping he does stay I'd be lying if i said I wasn't excited about the potential players picks we could get in return.

 

[NCHammertime]

Caro saying if crows match, he'll threaten to go to the draft

Good luck to him. Melbourne have the money even if others don't. Would also mean he would have to set his salary way higher than the Cats want to pay. Pretty sure we can risk a pick 15 on it...

 

[Samcro24]

Wait..... aren't WE threatening to send him to the draft by matching??? That's does not make sense.

No its match.
Then stay or be traded.
Then draft if a trade cant be reached.

Seriously, if thats their attitude, they can **** right off. We have a right to match.

 

[Ramify]

Maybe Dave passed that onto her source too. You think Nobes has been given the green light to leak, or should he be hit with the naughty stick?

 

[crowded house]

Mate understand the frustration however lets Wai to see how the cards fall before making a final judgement

More I think about Woosha the lead worry I am.about him leaving

I remember waiting to see how the cards fell for the Tippet fiasco after the administration seemed oddly confident and playing their cards close to their chest. Cards fell right into a shit sandwich.

If that were to happen again.......

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Would Danger really do that to us? Probably not

I won't begrudge him for leaving, but I would if he tried to pull that shit on us.

Yeah, but we would threaten to send him to the draft if Geelong doesn't come to the table with a good offer.
Danger sending himself to the draft is like him saying 'I don't care if I play in Melbourne, Carlton or Brisbane'. If he didn't care then he wouldn't have a problem with us trading him there. It doesn't make sense.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Something seems seriously twisted about Caros scoop. just can't put my finger on it.

Sound like a planted story, right down to the draft pick thing?

Caro in on the big con job we're pulling?

 

[Cap]

Despite it coming from Caro, there still remains nothing concrete.

Interestingly at the start of the year Caro was convinced he was gone, then she changed her position, albiet marginally, now she's back in the 100% gone camp.

 

[Runnin Blue]

People probably don't want to hear it, but I can't help but feel that if Ratfield was forced into the PSD, that all other clubs would pass on him to allow him to go to Geelong. History (excepting Nick "fatty" Stevens) tells us this.

 

[Wood_Duck]

So hes already favoring Geelong over Adelaide in the process.

Top bloke.

 

[GROTTO]

Good for him. Enjoy Carlton.

I would be damn proud of our Club for matching and forcing Geelong's hand. Damn proud.

 

[whitey_1975]

I honestly believe Bennell is potentially a better player than Dangerfield overall. High risk, high reward.

I agree if only because our team is full of inside mids, we are dying for some outside class, especially that type of class.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Saying that, how would she know?

Unless Danger was her source

Assuming he's flagged he wants to go then there would be people at AFL house that know, people at AFC that know, and his manager would know. Probably people at Geelong as well.

There is absolutely no doubt that Caroline Wilson has excellent sources within a few Victorian clubs and within AFL House. Like her or hate her, she is in another league to most of the lazy journos that have "scooped" this before.

This is Caro Wilson's forte, ie inside knowledge of Clubs and trades etc. I would trust her information.

He aint stayin'. Get excited about who we're gonna pick up.

Mate different administration, lets give Fages and Roo the opportunity to navigate through this

I think Bennell and Redden would equal out to something like Danger.

I cant see some of the bottom Clubs passing over him. If it means losing a compo pick I would roll the dice. A compo pick around 12 or 13 is not going to assist us much. Then again, we may need bargaining chips to go after certain players.

Oh for sure. She certainly has her contacts.
