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?
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.
