Soft spot for Brisbane
Not if, as one poster on our board said, we pay him 2 mil for one year.

This means that, you have to match, and pay 2 mil, which screws up your recruitment and re-signings for next year, and he leaves in a year anyway. (Hope Tex isn't out of contract next year).

We then re-sign him for a much more reasonable figure over a longer number of years. The city of Geelong will still be there in a year or two, and Paddy may be even more determined to move back there. But the compo pick might not be. Dealing fairly now means you get something out of it. Otherwise, in two years time, he goes for free anyway.

I don't want to screw you like that, but if Adelaide are unreasonable and want the world......
Google The Age and Ken Wood for the league's statement as to why that can't happen. They're already on to that and won't allow it.

Crows should seriously entertain sending pd to melbourne. 10 mil for 6 years how could you turn it down even if it is melbourne... This is all connors getting lucrative offers presented and pushing up geelongs $$$ for pd. Id laugh for an entire day if he ended up at the demons. Geelongs tears would be delicious.

And we'd get bugger all because we couldn't match.

Personally, I'd say it's for your compo. Him turning down 10 million is the anomaly noted in that little box on the bottom left of the FA chart.

Well it depends.

If he accepted the cats offer that we match....
Then try to trade. If Melbourne are offering a good trade and great money.
Maybe? Just maybe?
If he went to Melbourne on that he'd be nominating them straight up and we couldn't match. We'd get a compensation pick and that would be a bad outcome.

Two first round picks won't hurt us long-term. We built our three premierships on players from Pick 30 on in the draft, and only Selwood, Bartel and Mackie were top ten.

Top ten picks are overrated anyway (how many teams who tanked for early picks have gone on to win flags- that's right- zero).

So we will back in flag contention within three to five years, with our promising youngsters having 100-150 games in them by then, and we will still have Selwood, Harry Taylor, and Hawkins, and of course, Danger.

You claim to have a far better list then us, yet only finished a game and a half ahead this year. Without Dangerfield, how many more will you win then us next year, do you think?

Where will Adelaide be by then?

What you've done in this post, is shown just how clueless you are in regards to everything to do with this situation.

First, you can't offer Dangerfield a 1 year contract at $2m a year, because the minimum FA offer is two years. So you'd need to offer him $4m over 2 years.

Second, Taylor Walker signed a 4 year contract at the end of 2014.

Third, if you try that kind of thing, Ken Wood and the AFL Integrity Unit will shove a magnifying glass so far up Geelong's clacker, that Brian Cook will set ants on fire when he opens his mouth on a sunny day.

Just stop.

6 years 4.8 mil - geelong(no premierships)
6 years 10 mil - melbourne(maybe by a miracle of god premiership)
Do the math.

pd wont end up at any other club .....he will be at geelong next year..........deals already done.
I hope this is the case, if the deal is one that we get better value than pick 15. Means the deal should be signed off early in the trade period and we can get other deals done.


My concern is that this will drag out and cost us doing other deals.
