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

[TheLeftFist8]

I'd settle for that. Less than actual value but much better than the compensation pick which is not even an option, so fair deal for all parties. Just get it done then we can all move on to other trades.

Settle for what?

If it's 9 + player then that player needs to equate to a 1st rounder or they can gtfo

 

[radiojake]

jeez i just read that Connors said Adelaide should just accept the compo pick

what a campaigner..

I nearly started a new thread that was going to be 'Get ****ed Paul Connors" but I thought better of it


also - I see some people are starting to call Danger a FIGJAM - I called it well before now

Without a shadow of a doubt, I'd think Dangerfield was the biggest FIGJAM on the planet if he wasn't a crows player... as he is, I let it slide... but his impersonations and commentary things... ugh... cringeworthy

 

[Sanders]

I must admit that I can understand him wanting to go home. (I have been in a similar position). Yes I am disappointed at his decision. It actually hurts but he has decided to move back home. So be it..

When you say that you don't like the way that he has handled it can you be more specific. For me I have read a lot of crap with his face on top of the article implying that Danger has made the statements in the article but no where have I see where he has actually made a statement. His management has but not Danger. So right now I am disappointed he is going but I believe he has made the right decision for him. Where my feelings of being disappointment could change is how the trade is managed. If Danger demonstrates he believes that its Geelongs right to screw Adelaide over then I will put him the "low life" category but not before.

So right now I am just waiting to see how this all finishes

Off the top of my head, lying in August about not having discussed any deal; the Twitter trolling; the game playing; the 5AA fishing etc

 

[Damp Squarie]

Id take either if he wasn't going to Essendon.

The fishing trip takes the cake for me. Him participating in that when he knew there was a likelihood of him leaving, and having a crows fan front up with serious $.

What a FIGJAM!

 

[TheLeftFist8]

He was a fantastic player, though his skill errors were infuriating at times.

However, we tolerated his arrogant personality in the media and FIGJAM celebrations. His performances on The Footy Show and the infamous Brownlow shenanigans were cringeworthy indeed.

And now predictably Danger, via his manager, is pushing for us to bend over and take it for a measly compo pick in reward for persevering with him through 4 initial lean years leading into 4 good years.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Acceptable trades are:

- 9 + Motlop or Cockatoo
- 9 + 2016 1st
- 9 + 2nd + a quality young player.

Good trades add a 2nd rounder or at least a swap of this years 2nds to the equation but I'm realistic enough to know we won't get anywhere near a good trade. However, anything less than the above is unacceptable.

Oh, and I've not seen one 'compo combo' that doesn't result in Geelong winning massively and the Crows still losing by a long way.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We are never getting that. Completely unrealistic

Why not?

Pick #9 this year & same again next year if cats finish in the same spot is not unreasonable.

Asking for 2 x top 5 picks isn't going to happen but 2 x top 10 is not out of the question.

Yep, and we should be starting higher than that!

 

[jenny61_99]

No, but he hasn't fired him. Since they are bottom surely questions have to be asked.

Do you know Mackays background?

 

[dplggr47]

Yep, and we should be starting higher than that!

I think because Geelong started their offer of nothing (compo pick 14 or let him walk into the draft) as their starting points, the Crows couldn't go any higher than satisfactory (2 first rounders or 1 first rounder + player, which turns out to be Murdoch) with their asking price.

I think he will pull out with someone from the AFC taking his place.

 

[radiojake]

I hate hearing '8 loyal years service'

he still lived in Moggs Creek for his first year!

Their offer of nothing is null and void if we match.

Did Collingwood start at nothing for Treloar?

Exactly, then we had a further 3 years waiting for him to be fit enough, get enough composure, be educated on running patterns and how to get more than 12-15 possessions.

Essentially he gave us 4 years of good service.

 

[jbanger]

I think he will pull out

Like his father should have.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Like his father should have.

He is a good guy, but I think he is naïve if he thinks Crows fans will want to go fishing with him. We shouldn't personally insult him.

add the "Well Franklin left for pick 19 and Hawthorn have won the next two premierships"

Geelong signed up all their players so they would have nothing left to trade to the Crows. They knew they were likely need to satisfy the Crows in a trade. Like when all Collingwood could get out of the Beams trade was pick 5, 25 and a Crisp. Although, pick 5 is probably worth 2 mid-range first rounders. Thank goodness the AFL allowed trading of future draft picks, because otherwise, we'd probably have to use that compo pick and trade for their first rounder.

 

[jenny61_99]

Nothing less than 2 top 10 draft picks is acceptable.

Well you are going to be disappointed. Geelong don't have two top 10 draft picks.

 

[dplggr47]

I feel like anyone that brings up this point knows nothing about football, because Hawthorn would've matched and forced a trade, until it was revealed to be a 9-year deal.

Players under contract can be traded, and in any case uncontracted players cannot be forced to be traded so the fact they've signed up players means nothing.

We are not gonna take a spud with no value like GHS just cos he's the only one uncontracted.

If Geelong don't want to play fair, the drafts await.

 

[jenny61_99]

We should be making it hard as we possibly can for players who want to leave.

But you expect other players to leave their clubs to come here.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Well you are going to be disappointed. Geelong don't have two top 10 draft picks.

They potentially do with the 2016 pick (though I think it will be pick 12-14) hence they should add that and a 2nd rounder.

 

[BunjiMac]

If we dont make a stand now and just roll over it will be the last straw for many afc supporters.

I'm not saying this is what we should do, I'm just expressing my views on whati think is likely to happen.
