That's because you're thinking emotionally about it, it won't happen because it would be irresponsible management to lose Danger for nothing. The club would only be hurting itself in that instance. As much as Geelong want the addition of Danger, they wouldn't actually be losing anything. Even Stephen Wells said he didn't want Adelaide to get nothing.
I think everyone gets burnt at some point in the draft/trading game, but it's hard to prevent that sometimes. You can't fight it to the extent that you're hurting yourself, you just gotta keep moving forward and take the wins when they come along
When push comes to shove and its decision time what are you going to do
1. Give pick 9 for Danger and secure the services of a top 5 competition player, or
2. Give pick 9 to Carlton for Henderson a struggling KPP and send Danger to PSD
Qe both know what that decision will be
The AFC don't care about the GFC list strategy, pick 9 alone will be an upgrade on pick 14 and in return would have forced Geelong to part with currency for Danger
P.S do you really believe Henderson is worth pick 9 in any case
I don't
