Traded Patrick Dangerfield [traded w/ pick 50 to Geelong for 9, 28 and Gore]

[Whiskers]

Didn't mean to cast Geelong as the next Carlton, but just comparing them to the Crows, and at present, I'd say Adelaide is ahead of Geelong.

But also remains to be seen what impact Danger leaving Adelaide has on them, and vice versa at Geelong.

If you guys score Selwood, Henderson, you'll be competitive at the very least.

Adelaide aren't ahead of us, we will and should comfortably sit above them next year.
Not only are they losing their best player but we are gaining him. Unfortunately they right now don't have a coach so will again need to adjust. Walsh will be difficult to replace, the crows selected a very good coach so hopefully for them they find the right man, but it won't be easy.
We will also get to trade in more players and not be injury riddled like this past year.
Menzel is back and a star, Vardy is back, Cowan and Stanley who was huge for us will be back. Hopefully Clark gets out there aswell.
Selwood can only improve.
That is lots of improvement and now we won't get the 'tough' fixture but Adelaide will.
I know people like to write us off but the talent gap is clear and has been for over 10 years. 2015 was never going to be our year, too many key injuries and holes, there is no logical reason to think the crows are ahead.

Pick 9, second round draft pick and cockatoo seems fair

Keep trying.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Telling a professional footballer you have no right to play where you want! This is the AFL's biggest dilemma, and why FA was introduced. If this 'deal' collapses (and it won't), FA will be dead and who knows what then unfolds.

He is a RESTRICTED free agent, stop being a flog.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Interesting.....

 

[supahoops]

Clearly he's going for money and not success, otherwise he would have stayed at the crows.

Clearly you're a flog*

just plonked $600 on Geelong at $17 for the flag on sportsbet.

Pic ?

Say goodbye to $600

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Not even close

Keep trying.

If he wins adelaides best and fairest and the brownlow (good chance), you will be lucky to him on that deal.

 

[MotleyLemon]

If only the Crows had an agreement with PD that they'd trade him wherever he wanted to go for a 2nd rounder.

 

[nickrebellious]

So are you saying Buddy isn't very good?

Clearly saying we were more prepared for the loss.

Why do you think that changes anything?

 

[Wargreymon90]

Pick 9 and cockatoo is definitely fair. Perhaps unders for a top 5 player.

Don't think it will happen though. Adelaide must match and get more then the compo. Even if it's just pick 9, that's still worth matching

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Sorry, no expert on trade crap but am I right to say that if they trade Paddy to Geelong they won't get the compo pick?

If its a trade then they are not getting compensated since they did a trade...

 

[DangerSloane]

he was emotional after the bulldogs game because it's the last final he's ever gonna play

Except he played one against Hawthorn the following week.
Derp

 

[MotleyLemon]

Correct.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Surely he comes to us on a 2nd round pick and sits out half of next year?

Crows lose their first rounder, and everyone is happy.

 

[MarcusP2]

Sorry, no expert on trade crap but am I right to say that if they trade Paddy to Geelong they won't get the compo pick?

Yes.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Why do you think that changes anything?

If you can't tell why Adelaide will get more if dangerfield is a brownlow medalist best and fairest then I am not gunna explain it to you because you're a lost cause

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Has there been any confirmation that he wants to go to Geelong?
All I have read is "to Victoria"

The only "logical" thing you can summise is that we finished a number of spots higher than you this year. The rest is just a Geelong supporter's hopeful speculation, friend.

Ok...

Obviously can't say where he wants to go until FA starts, otherwise tampering... Probably couldn't request a trade to a specific club due to being a RFA.

You also got belted by us.

No one is touching our ****

 

[Iron]

You also got belted by us.

And you got belted by Melbourne.

At home.

Almost like one result is not indicative of much. But saying that wouldn't let you post dumb things on the internet!
