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

[SugarShane]

Rubbing salt in the wounds of supporters. I don't get it. Sorry.

Social media hasn't been great for seeing that side of football players. I think deep down we all know that they probably see us fanatics as lame and pathetic for devoting so much of our life to this "hobby." But it's not cool when it's in plain sight. Much like Tex and Jaenschy and their "Enjoy your 9-5" style of dealing with trolls.

wasn't betts 2m 4 years

Possibly, still a bargain

 

[xazos79]

I'm fairly certain we could match a deal like 1.1/1.2 M.

We've lost so much talent in recent years and only brought in Eddie who was a bargain for 400K

Davis
Bock
Dangerfield
Gunston
Tippet

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.

Yeah, I think Carlton offered him $400k, Crows offered $500k, Carlton didn't match.

Reckon they might match it now if they had their time over again?

 

[jenny61_99]

I wouldnt expect anyone to make FA offers. Im thinking more of an offer Dangerfield cant refuse and a trade with Adelaide that shits all over pick 9.

I think I'd prefer him at Geelong than hawthorn.

Hey guys, i come in peace.

I find this whole situation very interesting.

firstly i must admit i havent read through all your pages, so sorry in advance if this has been answered.

Is there anything to read into with regards to the press conference by you guys and Danger only really stating that he is seeking to come back Victoria. There hasnt been any mention of Geelong (or any other club) at all by him or you guys.

is there a reason this might be witheld at this point in time or do you guys believe its a case of Danger has said he wants to go back to Victoria, his ideal club of choice is Geelong, but if they don't present the right offer to compensate you guys, that he is happy to go to another Vic based club if the offer is better for the crows?

My guess is it is as simple as us not wanting to promote a good news story for Geelong, but there was something in the paper today about Dangerfield not being able to declare a club before a certain date.

Because the trade window is not actually open and it would be seen as tampering if they actually indicated that a deal between our player and another club had happened before that window was open.

 

[Mahlepi]

But they goes along the lines of Geelong BF Posters = Dimwits!

Marty can you see a possibility of the crows not matching

 

[SugarShane]

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 !!!!

I love reading the posts like "Would you accept pick X and pick X?" "No, you'll have to offer atleast pick X to get it done."
"You won't match." "I guarantee we will!"
It's kind of like a nerdy roleplay but about sport.

 

[Catastic82]

Yeah, I think Carlton offered him $400k, Crows offered $500k, Carlton didn't match.

He wanted to leave so I doubt the blues would had overpaid for a player that didn't want to be there .

 

[jenny61_99]

No. (I'm not Marty but the question warranted answering).

 

[Niximus]

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

IMO it's because his destination club is still playing #poosandwees

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?

hasn't stopped Dixon or Hampton?

Id be thinking more along the lines of Melb, Carl, St Kilda maybe even Dogs.

Yeah, there's no way he's getting to Geelong in the PSD, not with the likes of Carlton, Melboune, Essendon, Brisbane and Gold Coast all ahead of them. Especially with some of the players leaving Brisbane and the GC (Bennell / Dixon, Aish / Redden / Leuenberger etc) - they'd have heaps of cap space to fit him, and there's not a team in the comp that would pass up the opportunity to nab a player like Danger for nothing but a PSD pick. Worst case is he demands a trade the following year, at which point Geelong have to pay top dollar (or, rather, top player/draft pick) to land him then. So they might as well get on with it and do the deal now.

You can also be damn sure that Danger's manager won't let him go anywhere near the PSD give how far down the order Geelong are - he would have already made sure Geelong are willing to work a sensible trade in this scenario before things got to this point.

And I'm sure that's what's going on behind the scenes. The news reckons the clubs have already been negotiating for 2 weeks, and I believe it. For all of the fun we as supporters might like to have bagging each others (and our own) clubs and administrators, the fact is that these are two professional organizations. They both have a lot to gain out of this and a lot to lose if they get it wrong, so I fully expect them to have a deal in place ready to go on day 1 of the trade period so they can get it done and move on to whatever other deals they might be working on.

XBox trades.

My son is an expert xbone Fifa trader. He'll get the job done!

 

[AFC3000]

I'm relying on Rucci to be my fact checker so your probably right. But neither of them are free agents? I'll try and find the quote.

 

[anthc]

To get Danger it's obvious Geelong will need to trade this years 1st rounder and the 2016 first rounder + a player, lol.
They thought we wouldn't match the deal all year.

That's what they chose to believe

 

[jenny61_99]

Oh absolutely. Brisbane even. But if I had to pick between those two teams, it would be Geelong..

 

[King Notorious]

What's even the point in getting a draft pick?
Knowing our luck we jag someone in the first round from Victoria. He becomes a gun. A year later wants to go back home.

Don't think a club can be stated until Oct 9.
