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

[TheLeftFist8]

I can't believe I'm seeing suggestions for us to give OUR 1st rounder to Geelong AND Dangerfield...WTF!!

Are we getting 3+ first rounders in return?

Why are we dreaming up great trades for Geelong?

 

[BrissyCrow]

We shouldn't need to lose anything other than danger......that David king idea had us giving geelong Lyons and our first rounder. What for? Over complicating it

Yeah I agree with you on this. If the Crows accepted what King suggested I would very disappointed.

Guys its the Vic media, have u been hiding under a rock? The biggest problem with these clowns is they take themselves seriously and believe their own bullshit

 

[mattymac]

He's just had by far his best ever season

And his recent words about football no longer being his No. 1 priority wouldn't excite me too much either. He stepped up after Walsh's death as did most of our list. I wouldn't be banking on a return to that form he showed in the second half of 2015. We may have seen his best.

Well they were 100% correct about him leaving. When many on this board and in SA were bullish about him staying.

 

[Sanders]

I reckon they'd be working out exactly what the most acceptable secondary sweetener deal is though.

a secondary deal becomes about a thousand times easier when players involved. you can estimate point values of draft picks but who are you to say what one club thinks about a player.

Dmac & a second round pick is absolutely worth pick 9. senior player, big contract, 150 games, if anything we're getting ripped off. maybe they should add Murdoch

Exactly the afl will be very accommodating they don't want us to match.

100% correct however it was still based on guess work

Thank goodness D-Mac has now broken his Brownlow vote duck!

No it wasn't. It's been open knowledge since last October.

 

[Bovo]

No it wasn't. It's been open knowledge since last October.

The only thing that was obvious last October was the demise of Geelong in finals. Everyone was saying it therefore it must have been a fact.

Sorry, and sorry, for some reason I thought Murdoch's missus was from Geelong. But nonetheless, Jordan is a 190cm outside mid. He's got pace to burn and a huge left boot on him. His biggest knock is that he can go missing in games and doesn't seem to read the play that well which doesn't help the cause. He has elite skills and his disposal by foot can be good, but it's usually through poor decision making rather than skill that will see him turn the ball over, often out of defence. To me he is a bit of a downhill skiier, he can do some brilliant things and really complement a good team but when the chips are down he can go missing. I hate to say it, but in a team like Hawthorn he'd look a million bucks. In a team like Melbourne however... he'd probably be de-listed by now.

That's Ricky Henderson.

And Rucci doesn't. Let's be honest, most journalists are idiots regardless of origin.

I agree. We can crap on about 400kay, but from the AFLs perspective he is a 150 game player who is in his prime and who played in a semi final team this year. There's no way they'd stop a trade and it SHOULD be Mackay and 50 for Murdoch and 9.

It's the only way his reinclusion at the end of the season makes sense

 

[Mego Red]

That's Ricky Henderson.

Yeah, that's my worry about Murdoch. Had some terrible games this year.

 

[King Elvis]

We get screwed, hard, in that deal.

More harm than good? Didn't exactly ignite the game did he?

I think I'd take what Patty says with one of these:

 

[Samcro24]

So instead of altering the compo rules, or using that ambiguous clause where it says the afl can determine the compo (and give us two first rounders), the AFL is going to collude with us and geelong for a dodgy side deal, allowing us to not match?

Actually, that sounds about right.

 

[Pdub]

(and give us two first rounders)

The rule doesn't say that, it has a list of possible pick placements, they can change which placement a player gets if they feel the formula gave an incorrect result, it doesn't say they can invent a new pick placement.

 

[Samcro24]

Like I said the wording is ambiguous, and anyway they could tweak the rule if they wanted to. It WILL change next year, why not now?

Nah, instead we will go through this whole charade of a 'deal to not match'.

 

[footywedge]

I know but the post was started with "I'm not sure if this has been mentioned as yet" ... just made me twitch a little

And it's what Kingy mentioned last night which had stimulated responses to that very issue within the last page.

it doesn't say they can't

Well knock me over with a feather what a strange turn of events. Geelong fans hoped he would move, Adelaide fans hoped he would stay. It come up heads and not tails, and that proves it was always the case. Hillarious.
