Those in the denial camp (must be just me left...) hope that this is out "Ryan okeefe" moment where danger dr-signs at the last minute for one year to avoid draft when negotiations with Geelong fail.
I reckon he secretly wouldn't be that upset.

Finishing bottom in 2016
Well that will be the gamble when we take their 2016 pick !!!
The denial is strong with this one
Well that is the highest probability of the options available.
Either way a club has to pay for a player like PD...whether it's via a trade or by offering a mammoth contract deal as part of FA.......The geelong supporters don't seem to get this, they think they are running a charity over at the cattery. One way or another you gotta pay up

If we were trading with Essendon, Melbourne, st kilda that wouldn't be enough.
But since we're trading with Geelong we won't get that.

What number would he wear at the cats ? Anything but 32 please. I'm close enough to vomiting as it is.The denial is strong with this one
Denial. Everything will be ok. !!!
He makes a compelling argument.The most poignant thing I've read in this thread for a long while
Geelong already have a number 32 - Motlop.
He wore number 35 as a Geelong Falcon - that would be my tip. Currently worn by the guy they want to send to Brisbane (Jansen)
Exactly this.
It's not in anybody's interests for him to go in the draft. Not Adelaide's, not Geelong's and certainly not Dangerfield's. If he does go in the draft, he's actually creating a WORSE problem for himself because he'd lose his free agent status. If Geelong don't come to the table with a sensible trade then he's better off staying with the Crows for 2 more seasons until he's an unrestricted free agent and can then bugger off to Geelong without anybody being able to stand in his way. If he goes in the draft he ends up at Carlton or Brisbane or Melbourne or whatever, his free agency clock resets. Geelong then have to work a trade with them next year which will be no easier than working one with us this year, and they won't even have the option of a free agency compensation pick (which could be pick 2 or 3 if he was at a struggling club) if he goes that way. He could quite conceivably NEVER end up playing for Geelong.
not with that attitude
We get it... We're just greedily hoping our club gets him for as close to nothing as possible. In fairness your club deserves a better deal for him but from that unfortunate one-eyed 'my club's the best and everyone else can GAGF' point of view barracking hard for your team always leads to the detriment of others.
If the shoe was on the other foot...
Then please piss off back to your board because that's just trolling and your adding nothing to the discussion
Is it, though? I'm calling a spade a spade. Geelong supporters ARE greedily hoping we get him for as close to nothing as possible. 'Trolling' would mean I'm saying that to openly mock your club or you as supporters.
I can assure you I'm not.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that 32 is one of our legacy numbers and was given to him to use by Roo. His only real connection to that number comes from the fact that Roo passed the torch to him via the guernsey.
It might sound petty, but seeing as though Dangerfield wants to leave I would like to think that he would opt for a new start at Geelong rather than take 32 with him which in my opinion wouldn't be pretty disrepectful.
Had quite a good experience there a couple of months ago, so tried to engage them sensibly the last few days.
Wow what a difference to this board. The % of utter clowns is much, much higher, and they completely drown out those you might actually converse with. there is a complete absence of moderation.
It is impossible to actually discuss anything on that board at the moment.

Absolutely, but perhaps the discussion had started at that point that we will upgrade your pick 14 to a top 10 pick and next year we will take your first rounder + ...
Could be a subtle component of a bigger deal

Gee, i hope not, although anything coming out of his mouth is usually wrong, or trolling for callers.
