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

[Jack McKraken]

It's in our best interests to match for sure should the compo not be adequate. As soon as a match is made, its back to regular trade territory as if the player wasn't a RFA. I say this is in our best interests as we believe Geelong and only Geelong are Paddy's preferred option. If it was just a Vic based club he wants to go to, then matching isn't in our best interests obviously as Carlton would get him for free, and we get nothing. Compo in that situation is preferable no matter what it is.

If paddy wanted to play hard ball, his team would indicate that while he would prefer Geelong, he has no problem going to Carlton. This is really what it hinges on. If his intentions are as clear as the Geelong faithful would have us believe and Geelong is the *only* choice, then we certainly have the power when matching as he won't drop to the draft and a trade will be done.

You lost me at Paddy wanting to play at Carlton

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Betts did want to be there. He would have stayed but the pay difference was too much to ignore.

Yep, I'd heard that too. Supposedly would have stayed for $400-450k/year for 3 years but Carlton didn't want to pay that much.

 

[Munich]

He loves money mate. Sorry to tell you.

He might but Geelong pay people what they're worth.

We're no dummies.

 

[xazos79]

But why would he go to Carlton when other melbourne clubs with better chances of success offer him similar money and happy to trade with the crows?

Because he'd only go to the draft if he's happy going to Carlton. I can't see a scenario where they wouldn't want to pick him up.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Danger has to agree to any trade though right?

No good telling Geelong to GF if Danger says GF to everyone else...

Except Danger then risks ending up going to the PSD where he could go to Carlton, Brisbane or GCS. He wouldn't want that, so may be willing to accept a trade to a Melbourne-based team instead.

We're no dummies.

And he's worth more than $800,000.

 

[Wood_Duck]

And he's worth more than $800,000.

If Danger doesnt deserve to be the highest paid player in the comp then Im not sure who is.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Yep, they'd have the money and would happily pick him up, even if it was just to trade him on the following year.

G Ablett Jr still for mine.

 

[Munich]

And he's worth more than $800,000.

He's not and won't be paid more than Selwood or Hawkins (although I'm not sure if Joel has overtaken Tom as our highest paid).

Regardless it'll be alot more than 800k, Cotton On & Costa will make sure of it.

Geelong players don't pay for anything around the town, all adds up.

 

[Wood_Duck]

The question is not about who the best player is. Would you give Gaz 6 mil over the next 5 years?

 

[Jarman3]

Out of curiosity, how do the restricted free agency rules work in the event where there's more than 1 club?

E.g. Geelong offer Danger $800k x 5 years. The Crows match it, so now either Geelong work a trade or he goes in the PSD. Obviously Geelong don't get another crack at it, but can ANOTHER club come in with a RFA offer? E.g. say Melbourne or whoever now stand up and say "we'll give you $1.2m x 5 years" which the Crows CAN'T match, is he allowed to accept that offer? Or by accepting the original Geelong offer does that end his free agency opportunities?

Danger gets one crack- he chooses which offer he wants to accept and that goes to the Crows to match. If they do, no more bites of the cherry

The same way you are with your pie nonsense whatever that is.

Paddy will be a Cotton On ambassador as Joel is and Ablett was before him.

Should have their cap lowered 1m to make up for the NCOLA.

Dangerfield likes money. Fact. $800,000 is less than he's worth. Fact. He's better than Selwood and Hawkins. Fact. You can't cheat. Fact. He will want what he's worth and he'll drive his price up. Stop circle jerking in the Geelong board and come over here expecting false logic and confirmation bias from us. We're not in the circle jerk.

I beg to........never mind.

Do you really think this hasn't been decided on already? Geelong have been talking with him for 12 months plus.

Nothing's changing now.

 

[marty36]

Marty can you see a possibility of the crows not matching

No!

 

[thebeedee]

Then how come all these other players can say where they want up go ?
Two sets of rules ????

Don't question the logic of the AFL. Seriously, you might have an aneurysm!

Oh so geelong plan on paying outside the salary cap, we know how that feels we had a fella called Trigg

 

[Tex Support]

Be careful assuming what Danger wants.

If there's a reasonable deal with the Cats there, we take it. We cannot afford to lose him for nothing.

It goes on at every club...

Adelaide were stupid enough to get caught.
