Oppo Camp Dangerfield's Gone (Zero tolerance to trolling) - READ THREAD LINKED IN OP BEFORE POSTING

How can anyone begrudge a person for making a decision in the interest of their own happiness? The club would have no problem cutting him if he wasn't performing.

we've got a whole bag of happiness for Blicavs, you want him to be happy don't you?

 

[Sanders]

if he wants to move for family, he wants geelong. There is no certainty he gets Geelong.

would he have been better taking the 2 years and being able to make decisions with absolute certainty?

Geelong could have offered him more than we could match. Instead they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Judging by Chris Scott's comments, Fagans comments and dangerfields concern I don't think it's going to end very well for either party. I have a feeling things are going to get very messy.
Firstly geelong will up there offer in the hope adelaide blink.
Adelaide will match.
AFLPA will then either lobby the afl for another pick.
With the compensation from geelong offered to Adelaide grossly under what they want, a third party like Melbourne will come in and offer pick 3 and next years first rounder.
Geelong stand firm, Adelaide stand firm.
The hole free agency thing will become a debacle and the big looser will be danger.
Start looking for a house in Brisbane danger.

I don't even think the Cats will bother with a FA offer & will attempt to trade, as they know the Crows will match & only delay things.

Cats have chased Danger, so to back out now would look silly & Danger's agent will burn you with all his players... but it won't get to that as Cats will trade.

Get ready to lose 2 x 1st round picks & a little extra. IMO, giving up all these picks & perhaps a player will cost the Cats balancing up the squad & getting up the ladder. Ironic, given Danger originally said he would only leave for success... but AFC's squad is better positioned age-wise with talent profile & he may in fact help further if we trade wisely with his picks. It's about the team, not the individual...

Those who are angry with his decision will not agree.

I'm angry with his decision. But that speech made it clear this was a very hard choice. And he's right, family does, and should, always come first - something that the death of Phil Walsh highlighted so brutally in July.

could they? doesn't seem any real reason to believe that is true

 

[jenny61_99]

Not pregnant. She was drinking wine the other week wasn't she?

And?

 

[jenny61_99]

So people saying she's pregnant? Are people suggesting that she may have deliberately let one through to sway the decision?

Completely uncalled for.

 

[Sanders]

And?

and its not the 1970's

Yep - this is the bit that makes it hard for Geelong to not deal.

They have promised Dangerfield certainty, so if they try and stuff us about - even early in trade week - then the story becomes pretty crap for both Danger and Geelong. They need to get the job done early and fast ... I still think a player will miraculously come and out and say he wants to go to SA - making the deal easier. Cory Gregson is one that comes to mind, and if Geelong offer him and pick 9 I reckon we take it.

We might lose a free compo pick if Geelong trade stupidly - but we will have $$$ to spend and will be able to bring in one or two quality players just with those $$$, whereas Geelong really only have one target.

I know the idea is that AFC have everything to lose, but in reality - that just is not the case.

Yes, probably.

Meaning? My OB asked me how much I drank, I said occasional, maybe two glasses once a week. He told me to keep doing what I was doing. That was 14 years ago. I was a high risk pregnancy ( being so old ). My pregnancy was perfect, birth a breeze, kid is a straight A student, good at sports and music. Didn't hurt him.

Doctors still don't recommend it. 70's or not.

Personallly i think she can do what she wants, i guess being in the public arena makes it a bad look, especially if any potential child cpmes outt looking like Lotney

we have no idea what Geelong have promised him or who drove that bus.

have Geelong promised to do everything to get him there, they appear to not be willing to break the bank for him. perhaps they haven't promised to do whatever it takes

allegedly Buddy approached sydney first

Maybe this is his way of ensuring Adelaide get some return for him? His preference appears to be Geelong but I can't imagine he and his manager haven't considered the various ways this could play out. Could be he genuinely wants to leave on good terms and leaving as a tradeable commodity does this. Might not be all that upset at the prospect of another team provided it's in Vic.

huh?

why not leave last year then? why wait until FA to be traded?

Sanders my phones gone full lindy. Not sure what im posting.

Just do what you normally do and ignore me

Up to three glasses a week is considered absolutely fine.

and?

you are advocating drinking whilst pregnant?

Can you not. It's clear Jenny was indicating that it is perfectly safe to have a drink while pregnant. And it is.

 

[feenix67]

I sure hope the first preseason meeting goes something like this:

Don Pyke: Are you blokes sick of being ****ed over? Good, lets do something about it.

 

[jenny61_99]

and?

I'm just saying what my doc told me, and what my experience was. He said it was better to have a relaxed mum than an anxious mum. And truly, it is her choice and nobody else's business unless she's throwing down a truckload every day.

i didn't realise there was such consensus? when did this happen

fair enough

And truly, it is her choice and nobody else's business unless she's throwing down a truckload every day.

it can't be contingent. either its her choice or it isn't
