We will get pick 9 and either a player but more likely a 2nd rounder

Should still be pushing for 2 1st rounders but can't see it

Hopefully we can optimise it all in trade /draft

Doesnt really achieve anything for us does it.
Swings and roundabouts, what we miss out on Danger we'll more than make up next time when opposition clubs realise that Adelaide are no longer a pushover.

On the other hand if we keep accepting scraps for fear of missing out then we'll find ourselves in the same position again in a few years time.

Henderson is not even worth pick 9

Vanilla KPP who has had one real good innings
was orginally a pick 8. Competent KPPs are hard to come by. Esp given he can play both ends.

Don't get me wrong I think paddy is worth more - but Henderson's market value is a first rounder I think.

We won't get the mega deal that many are after however we will better the compensation pick and force Geelong to give up.some currency

Just to clarify, Dwayne Russell said the crows wanted pick 9 + player because they feel they are in the premiership window now. They don't just want picks. Russell thought that player was cocky, but said Geelong wouldn't do that.
Been saying this for months. If we lose danger and don't get players ready to go we are in rebuild mode. Esp. considering a new coach is coming in.

Pick 8 means little now

2014 was Henderson's best season however has done little outside of that season

If Carlton can get a 1st round pick good on them however I wouldn't want to pay that currency, especially pick 9

Considering we have Riley Knight and Rory Atkins as a result of the Kurt saga, I have faith that whatever the club ends up doing, it will work out. The key will be keeping players from here on and maybe recruiting a big name over the next couple years.

On another note, why the hell did Connors say Adelaide should accept the compo pick? I really can't understand the good about that, maybe he's just dumb and says dumb things, but on a serious note, if Adelaide were in a 50/50 position and then a Player Manager who is working directly against them comes out and says to take the compo pick, how would that ever sway Adelaide's decision? Does he really, honestly believe that someone at the club will go "He's right, guys, we need to just accept the compo pick and move on"? The far more obvious path would be "Screw you player manager, who the hell do you think you are coming in here messing with our business and then having the nerve to council us?" And then straight to matching the contract.

These Victorians are only saying this because they are banking on us not willing to risk losing Danger for nothing as if we have no cards in our hand. The reason their saying this is because they are incapable of empathizing with an Adelaide supporter. They haven't spent the time understanding our position and thus can't believe that we would be willing to let Danger slide as a statement to all other Restricted Free Agents that it's called "RESTRICTED" for a reason.

Maybe we need to let the club know that we, as supporters, are happy with the club taking the risk to lose Patty for nothing and understand the consequences involved in taking that path. Since Victorians are incapable of understand our position, maybe we need to make it a little damn more clear of how we actually F$%#ing feel and that this emotion we've been holding, 5 years in the making, will this time play a part in how we go about things.

That to me sums up everything that is wrong with FA and most of the power in the players hands, Henderson for pick 9 yet we cant get much more for Danger. That's bullshit. (I know their situations are diff) Not saying that that's what they may get just that it is a possibility. We should have been able to trade Danger last year, the AFL only seem to do a half measure of American sports when we copy them, it should be FA like the NBA.

What I found interesting was when he said the Crows were seeing which of their players would want to be traded to Melbourne city
I think it's all linked to this belief (media belief or club belief) that Danger is only worth marginally more than pick 9. So if we do Danger + fringe crows player then we may get pick 9 + 2016 first or pick 9 + a decent player.

Its mind blowing how much people are undervaluing Dangerfield simply because he's a RFA. Yet Henderson is somehow worthy of a first rounder? **** off

I'd do pick 14 in a heartbeat. Slot him in at CHB and our defence is ready to take a flag IMO.

Awful. Barely worth matching if that's the result. Hopefully your way off.
2 x 1st round picks would be ideal however I think it will be this years pick 9 plus player and I doubt that it will be Cockatoo Collins

WW might be right, we might squeeze out next years 2nd round as well
