Sure, but he can get many an offer. He just gets to pick one. So....he is human...

Put yourself in his place
800k for 5 years = 4 mil
For an extra year he gets 6 mil more. Sorry don't care what you say....I would not even think about it.....this is real money btw.
I imagine he'll get taken care of in other ways at Geelong.

he has already said he wants to go to Geelong unless he decides to do a Mitch CLark, but Danger doesnt seem like that type of bloke.
One of the reasons he wants to go to Geelong and play is because Costa is gonna help him business wise, which probably wouldnt happen if he doesnt play for geelong.
Mitch Clark ended up in Melbourne because it was the lesser of all evils. He desperately wanted to go home to Perth to be with his two young daughters (who lived there with his ex). GWS had two contracts in front of him - one for 3 years, one for 5. More money than you could ever hope for. He hated Voss and he had to get out. Freo had shown interest then went cold. He had no choice but to go to Melbourne - the only other club that made an offer. I wish people would stop passing judgement on others until they know the whole story - and this isn't the first time it's been told.

Your understanding is wrong. GWS were offering much more. Mitch is a mate of a mate of mine.
why did freo go cold when they were desperate to get him, and basically shocked when they heard he was rejecting them for mfc?

Even more so to the point that he rejected being in the same state as his kids and took the cash instead.

I travel for work regularly and just a few days away is bad enough for me...

6 years 4.8 mil - geelong(no premierships)
6 years 10 mil - melbourne(maybe by a miracle of god premiership)
Do the math.
In 25 years 14 finals 7 GF and 3 flags. we get it done. The premiership window/clock is rubbish just because we've been up doesn't mean we can't get there again quickly. When you're drafting blokes like Enright and Gregson at pick 47 you can see we do things a bit differently.

That is a lot of mating. (Sorry, I just simply could not resist) :p

As an aside, I completely respect the fact he wanted to try to be closer to his children---I most certainly get that desire in every way, shape and form!

Now all you need, is another Gary Ablett Jnr at 40, another Tom Hawkins at 41, and another Matthew Scarlett at 45.

How the **** do u know?
I dont but its not hard to work out.....geelong dont want to bust their cap so they are only offering 750 to 800 per year to danger which is way unders on the market for a player of dangers quality.
They know we can and will match that so a deal would of already been made to ensure this all goes smooth.
the scenarios ppl are throwing around i just cant see them happening.

No...

This draft is crap
The draft is as good as how a club can develop. He have proven over many years now our ability to pick and develop talent. See the positive in this.
What he's saying is THIS draft is crap. And it kind of looks like it too. Also not many players that suit our needs.

But...there's plenty of high level players looking to move. A few are at Brisbane who need early picks for their Academy players. Looks like we may be getting some early picks. Could be the perfect storm. If ever there was a year to eschew the draft and trade picks for top line players...this is it.

Hawthorn have shown you don't need the draft to win flags. The last player they drafted that turned out to be a star or looks like being a star is Cyril back in 07. That's a long time ago.

Pretty sure the extra $6 mil would buy a bigger house than the one in Moggs Creek and pay for multiple nannies.

Costa might be able to help him here and there with a bunch of shit, but Costa ain't gonna fork out a lazy $6 mil surely.

Hawks into their 4th straight grand final. We are a chance to draft two guns to build our team around. Let's take a leaf out of the hawks book and draft smart.
They've traded for Frawley, Lake, Hale, Gibson, Burgoyne, McEvoy, you're very own Gunston, etc, etc, etc, etc...

So no, their team is not solely built through the draft, not even close to that being true.

Dangerfield won't be thinking Geelong can't win one. He'd be right into their list management already plus he thinks he's Jesus.
