So her career is not as important as his because it's not as glorified nor paid as well?He kicks a bit of pig skin around a paddock. Let's call a spade a spade.
You're just arguing for the sake of it now. You go from family to career and around in circles more than Danger with his success/family merry-go-round. You keep bringing other issues into the discussion when you hit a dead end. Now you're implying that it's hypocritical to lament Danger's departure on the one hand yet look forward to what we might get for him on the flip side.
Well if Adelaide were willing to take the chance with Tippett and Danger by signing them on short deals knowing they may very well leave straight after contract's end, I'm sure most clubs would take that risk too. If Danger is serious about Geelong, he needs to get them to cooperate with Adelaide's demands.
I don't recall Danger ever stating Geelong was his destination, but he did say that he was confident AFC and GFC will sort out a trade to get the deal done.

I'm not lecturing, or at least I'm not intending to, apologies if that's how it's being taken. What I was hoping to do was perhaps paint a different picture for those that haven't considered the other side. At the end of the day, we are all in the same boat - shitty that he's left us for the other wo....club. I wonder how many are shitty with patty in this thread and then salivating at the prospects of taking Aish and Redden from Brisbane in the other? Also, not quite sure how you compare me to danger?

Correct .....there's going to be enormous pressure to perform 
Lots of time at the airportThe homesick bug seems to be an affliction that is unique to the AFL. Can anyone name a single top class tennis player, golfer or soccer player who has said " I know I can earn 5 million a year but I'm returning to "Moggs Creek" to play for the local tennis, golf, soccer team.
The fact is that Patty wants it all.
He wants to earn over $1 million a year from footy plus associated "marketing" income.
He wants to play in multiple Premierships.
He wants to live at Moggs Creek.
And he still wants all his former footy mates and the Adelaide fans to love him.
What shits me is all the "funny" little tweets and comments on radio he made which encouraged some deluded fans to maintain hope.
He was our highest paid player over recent years, we gave him everything he asked for and he shoved it up our arse.
I rate him right along side Matty Connell as a one time B & F winner and well below all of our premiership players including Aaron Keating.
Long live the Snivelling Sycophants!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Hi Moderators, I'm flying to Rome tonight so feel free to ban me for the next 4 weeks
Lets hope he doesn't get 100 games at Geelong ....for father/son purposes

It's not a weak draft. The first 20 are as good as any other draft. It's the depth after the 20 that is questionable.
Keep following my posts ...there will be plenty of opportunities
So it's ok to leave a club for money, but it's not ok to leave a club to be closer to family or to go home?
True but he's in the rather unique situation that he can have it all.

ok, so you've confirmed that to you happiness is all about money. Perhaps to Patty and Mardi it's not about money? Or perhaps he knows he can earn a decent enough wage at a club closer to his home, which makes Mardi happier? Win/win for them both.She sells trinkets in a shop
Glorified has nothing to do with it, but any family oriented person would place more importance on an $800k pa job over a $50k pa job. Stop being ridiculous.
I'd like to think grandad will give him a clip across the back of the head and tell him he's made a huge mistake.
I am taking the 10.35 p.m. Emirates flight via Dubai. Feel free to drop in to the Qantas Lounge for a drink.
What a bunch of self righteous waffle. I'm done here.ok, so you've confirmed that to you happiness is all about money. Perhaps to Patty and Mardi it's not about money?

Who's arguing for the sake of it?
If you can't keep up, why bother? It IS hypocritical to lament dangers departure and hang shit on him for leaving his club, and then turn around and be glad and hope other players are leaving theirs to come here. That you can't see that says more about you.
I considered it. Dismissed it as nonsense. Danger has his reasons for leaving Adelaide to return to his home. Whether it be homesickness, which I don't believe for a minute, or because he wants to keep his partner happy as they prepare to start their own family, is frankly nobodies business but theirs. Yes it is disappointing. Yes I'm pissed at him for the way he went about it. Just like you. But I don't begrudge him making a decision that for all intents and purposes he has made with his AND Mardis future in mind, no different to anyone else who looks to make career moves. That they don't live up to your expectations of what reasons he could possibly have to leave the crows for Geelong (I'm sure none would) again says more about you than him.

"Homesick" or "family" is the afl players equivelant of stress or anxiety in the average work place. It's a sure fire way to get what you want. At least leaving for money is honest and gives all clubs an equal chance to lure a player.
Cmon ....don't you know this industry is full of contradictions, hypocrisy, and lies

Mmmm....that assumes Geelong have a player the Crows don't want that other clubs do ...or we have to get a pick, but why do we need to get a pick for Geelong?
Like Marc Murphy, if Adelaide the only choice, any future offspring of Mardi Inc. would refuse the F&S and go in the draft.

Just a quick note though. You do realise that everything you wrote was contradicted by your last comment don't youok, so you've confirmed that to you happiness is all about money.
