2. You don't like the valuation that News Ltd ran with so its an issue for you. You would feel shafted even if you got what that valuation said. Thats the poitn of what I wrote, expectations don't match reality.
Yeah we'd probably like the Fairfax one better.;)

For crying out loud, how many times does it have to be said.

YOU CAN'T TRADE A PLAYER AGAINST THEIR WILL.

Melbourne could have offered us their first round pick for the next 20 years and Danger would have still said "No thanks, I'll play out the last year of my contract and then leave as a free agent".
I'm also starting to get really annoyed at how many people don't get this.

Listened to Jars and Louie on the way home last night (yes, my first mistake, I know). They had a caller ask why the Crows didn't take the Melbourne deal. Louie correctly pointed out that Danger would have had to agree to it, but still said it was the best question posed for the show and gave him a prize! Idiots!!!

Joe fan not getting it annoying, people in the football media not understanding this very simple concept is down right infuriating!

1. The Crows have no better grasp on value than anyone else. Nor do Crows fans.

2. You don't like the valuation that News Ltd ran with so its an issue for you. You would feel shafted even if you got what that valuation said. Thats the poitn of what I wrote, expectations don't match reality.

3. Geelong is the only candidate. It was done 12 months ago. There is no second club. It's over.

4. The outbursts are all the shit that has been in the paper over the last 24 hours on how he "requested a trade". He didn't. Your club is trying to control the media even with comments such as PD would like us to match. Bullshit. He wants the easiest path. The press conference today where you will announce you are matching. Thats an outburst rather than doing nothing. Every other club would do nothing till they know the offer etc. Crows are acting like spoiled brats. They should say nothing today.
1. Actually, the crows would have the best grasp on his value. If you can't see that, i don't know what to tell you. Just like geelong would have a far better idea of Selwoods value to the club than anyone else. Its all about meeting that halfway value point between the internal and external parties.

2. Not an issue for me at all, i place no credence in a valuation a news paper runs by an unknown expert with an unknown formula.

3. By done you mean what? The decision to go via RFA? The decision to go via working out a trade between the two clubs?

4. What if the easiest path is matching? Surely easiest means "easiest for all". You must mean the easiest path should be for the player and destination club, don't worry about he current club. They are acting out of the spirit of the cosmos by matching. How dare they. Damn the trade gods for putting in that "match" clause for RFAs. Doesn't everyone know it wasn't meant to be taken literally?! Its a metaphor.

And where did this presser to announce we are matching come from?

Key point being somewhere in the middle, not bang in the middle. The discussions are giving me major deja vu from the Paddy Ryder deal last year, I'm seeing dozens of identical comments, just with a different last name. Two key differences being Danger isn't contracted, and wasn't the subject of experimental pharmaceuticals (which didn't earn Essendon much goodwill from neutral supporters).

Port supporters were arguing that a first round pick was enough (16 or 17) and we'd get him for free if Essendon didn't play ball.

Essendon supporters countered that he was contracted, that he was worth a first round pick and an A-grader (Wines or Wingard) and would play no footy at all in 2015 if Port didn't play ball.

Obviously in the end it was much closer to Port's wishes than Essendon's (17 + 37).

99% of the time, the player gets to go where they want (lol Nick Stevens), and the original club's supporters are left feeling pretty burned. This will not be a win for your club, but you will have many opportunities to turn the tables and maybe even come out ahead from free agency. You might even pick up a gun in 2016, think Rich, Masten, or Hooker.
I was surprised Port got as good a deal as they actually got given that Ryder was still contracted so didn't even have the threat of walking in the PSD. I suspect Essendon probably decided to cut their losses and get it done rather than keep a player on their list who didn't want to be there and would have spent the year sulking about the place. After all, they already have one Jake Carlisle, probably didn't feel like they needed another :p

Mate we have been on a very short leash on your board. Multiple deletions and bans for far less than what you have been allowed to get away with here. Might I suggest easing your head in a bit.
Fair enough, bloke. I don't know what you guys have been banned for doing, I can't comment on that. On that though, I'll maintain that having a difference of opinion and backing up said difference of opinion with reasons which have been respectfully articulated should NEVER result in a ban on anyone's forum.

How is anything I've said necessarily incorrect? I have maintained all along that there is a very real possibility that Geelong gets Dangerfield for nothing. I have articulated my points for stating that as clearly and as concisely as I could using well-reasoned logic while having done so in a respectful manner. I haven't ranted at all.

So, just as all the Crows' fans have been welcome to post on our board, it has been my opinion all along that since this thread's inception, the same level of courtesy has been extended to opposition supporters, too. Until I'm thusly informed otherwise, I shall continue to post in here as I see fit, with the intention of continuing to do so in a respectful manner.
You sure do use a lot of words to say not very much.

I've seen how welcoming some of your posters are on your board. To say there's a few on there with an "air of superiority" would be an understatement. I've often seen an under current of condescension, now you might not be one of those geelong posters; but there's a difference between being welcomed on a board and treated with respect vs being welcomed and essentially mocked and continually told to behave even when nothing untoward has been said.

I think you admitted to being " incorrect" in one post, another poster responded to yor post with a " no it's not" gif and another replied that you should stop saying silly things

Again you state " there is a very real possibility" Cats can get Danger for nothing
It's been pointed out to you - quite patiently I think - that that is not the case

As previously posted
I think you've had a fair crack

But post away / just don't squeal when people tire of your ignorance and resort to a base level

The only thing I hate at trade time is all the posts where both sets of supporters are incessantly arguing with each other over potential trades and acting like they're the one's negotiating the trade.

Trades aren't negoitatied on Bigfooty people !!!!

Our CEO is about to tell everyone we'll match.

That isn't a possibility. You aren't getting him for free so the notion is ridiculous and the hot air is exuded for naught.

I think he's suggesting that Danger goes into the PSD and the 8 or 9 other clubs before Geelong do not select him.
