But you see, this chest-beating is what bothers me.
As I said in another post, I actually accept the fact that the Crows want to deal (how you know you can afford to, considering that the length and money is just paper talk at this stage, and you may not be able to match after all). I know that reality is, to get quality (which Danger is) then we have to give something.
But I don't like the tone of some of this, which reeks less of "Adelaide need to protect their interests and get value for a valuable player" and more of "Geelong and Danger can go to hell. Let's screw them, and make up for all the times we got screwed. Let's send Danger to Carlton or Melbourne, and hang him out to dry. That will send the message to anyone else who ever thinks of leaving AFC. HAAAAAAA! HAAAAA! " (evil laugh, twirling a moustache and hand-wringing).
I just hope you are doing this for the right reasons, as getting better compo than the one AFL offered, rather than as an FU to Geelong or a champion who served you so well.

Remember he is our best player and one of the top 3/4 in the world of AFL.
He's also averaged 22 games a year over his 7 years playing for us. Which means he's durable adding to his value.
