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

[Adz2332]

To be honest surprised he didnt stay. would have put money on him doing so...
But the silver lining is there are a few decent targets out and about this year.
Get ride of danger and draft a young kid plus 1 or two of bennell, mayes, aish, talia, toumpus etc etc could actually become a win. 1 player for a more balanced line up and depth

 

[rezagun]

I hope carlton offer him a $ 2 million deal and he cant refuse it.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY! that you guys can fit Hamish, Dixon and Wines in your salary cap! Just a few months ago you guys said your cap was at bursting point! Schulz had to take a 400K salary cut. So if you some how fit all this in and Extend hartletts contract BIG QUESTIONS need to be asked.

Not that this thread is about us, but we have never said our cap was at bursting point - that was the media.

Schulz didn't 'have' to take a 400k salary cap, he took a reduced contract because that is what we were offering him. We have cleared a large amount of cap this year, have several players on our Veterans list at the end of next year and have been able to pay some of our players 'unders'. So yeah, ask the BIG QUESTIONS, because we can.

 

[King Notorious]

Not sure I understand this line of thinking. You did see the last round of the home and away season yeah?

Sure I guess you're going to say these things to make yourselves feel better, I was a bit miffed when Gaz left, but don't be too surprised if it doesn't turn out that way.

Not sure I understand your presence on the Crows' Dangerfield board

 

[rezagun]

Lewis and jarman have pretty much put a line through bennell. Stating that the clubhas a no dickheads policy and wont be heading down that path. Can this day get any worse?

 

[TexForPM]

Pick 1...
Could you trade pick 1 for 2 1st rounders?

 

[GrommoT]

Somewhere Phil Harper is deleting emails

That doesn't fill me with confidence. I hope the work experience kid is supervising him.

And remember to cover the CC cameras.

One player leaving won't lessen our resolve. It will only strengthen it.

This sounds strangrly familiar.

The only way we can mitigate the negative from this in the future is to start going really hard at SA kids from other clubs. We may as well pack it in if we are going to keep losing quality players nearing or in their prime.

Only thing you're right about
It's not about you

 

[oldcrowgirl]

Bit rough to be comparing him to (or suggesting he's far worse than, as many are) Kurt Tippett.

Polar opposites.

Why don't you disappear for a few days (weeks, years maybe?) and let the Crow supporters digest this, before you coming on our thread telling us what we should think?

really? pretty sure the guy leaving is one

 

[Young Gun #6]

Didnt Cats and Hawks both win flags without them ?

Yes....My point (which was mentioned) was that they ALREADY had much stronger teams (even without that star player) than Adelaide do..

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Really uncomfortable with this. "Patty you're so brave..."

Seriously?

Yeah get stuffed JJ

 

[Aaron929]

how much is schultz on now?

"Schulz, 30, started the season with Port Adelaide offering him a two-year contract worth $800,000. This amounted to a 20 per cent pay cut. He refused.

The Power’s second offer was a one-year deal worth around $480,000. Again, Schulz refused with his manager Liam Pickering arguing this deal undervalued the veteran forward.

He waited for the market, in particular Fremantle, to underline that point.

Schulz gambled — and suffered as a result of injury and the slide in team form at Alberton. He finished with 20 games and 44.17, a fall on his career-best figures of 66.26 in 25 games last season.

He has now signed a one-year deal worth around $400,000. Effectively, Schulz has cost himself a year in the AFL and $400,000."

Port are signing Dixon for 5 years at 750K a year , I'm sorry but he is not worth this. Like I said if Port can sign all of these players questions need to be asked!

So we are like the anti Richmond?

A no dickhead policy, seriously? We really do rate ourselves don't we, not sure why?

 

[headache1]

No but they do have pick 8 next years first rounder and highly rated junior mids like Motlop. And actually the mechanism was exactly the same then. It was and is either trade or PSD, people need to realise there is a huge difference between free agent and restricted free agent.
The Judd and Danger scenarios are almost identical in fact.

Of course there is. I understand Free Agency. However, with everything Geelong seem to have planned, aside from Dangerfield, it suggests that they've been expecting to get him as a Free Agent. Not via a trade. That may not happen, but it is still a possibility. We can create the situation where we turn Dangerfield into an everyday out of contract player, which then reverts to the same situation as Judd/Eagles/Carlton. But he may yet be offered a deal that can't be matched by us. If Geelong have been planning for months/years on getting him for nothing, don't be surprised if they throw a stupidly large deal at him.

And no, the mechanism to get a player for nothing, without using the PSD, which you can't really plan on using throughout the season as you don't know you're going to win the spoon, was not there. Free Agency did not exist in any capacity.

Mate he was forced to take the cut. All because you guys want to sign Dixon on a ridiculous deal.

 

[footy4ever]

Really uncomfortable with this. "Patty you're so brave..."

Seriously?

OMG all this time…and I find out he's really been playing for Port.

 

[Iron]

True.

I'd be probably a little more focused on the fact that Brad Crouch wants to explore his trade options at the end of next season rather than a false rumour about one of our boys.

Enjoy xoxo.

We didn't want Hartlett. I really hope we didn't, anyway. He's a good player but he's not worth the coin.

 

[relapse]

What about treloar and hampton? Both have stated the clubs they want to join.

They're not free agents

 

[Mike Smyth]

When Dangerfield was crying after the West Coast game was he faking it?

 

[footy4ever]

So this is why we don't have a heap of really shitty tats.

 

[Jack McKraken]

Frank Costa apparently thinks AFC matching the offer is outside the spirit of the RFA agreement

See - pissing off the Cats president -
There's always a silver lining

Hahahahahaha you've got to love self interest. Yes Costa, the rule which explicitly states we have certain rights and entitlements should not be exercised because it's against the spirit of the rule (but not against the express terms of said rule).

Wait, I'll ask my wife.
