Why would they do that?
I'm sure Geelong is aware of our approach and intentions. That's all that is necessary.
The only reason the AFC would do that would be to put media pressure on them if they aren't being reasonable, which I doubt is the case (particularly at this early stage).
Public pressure on Geelong never hurts. They're expected to get Danger, they're going to look like idiots if they don't get him.

So the net result is that Adelaide basically get one first rounder?Lets say assume that Adelaide will accept 2 first round picks for PD. Not ideal for you but better that just 14. Now lets work backwards and find a solution that doesn't break AFL rules. I think the key might be Adelaides list. A previous Adelaide poster mentioned that Adelaide will probably 4 move off the list this year (including PD) and you'll upgrade one Rookie.
Let's say that Adelaide trades R2 2016 for Curtly Hampton (GWS need picks for Academy kids) and delists another player. Net effect is you are only taking 3 draft picks. So Adelaide and Geelong agree they don't match, get compensation pick 14 and you have 13 + 14 to start with. If Geelong could trade 9 to Adelaide, then the rest of their picks are not needed.
So the trade is Geelong pick 9 for Adelaide 31, 49, 67 and Rnd 3 2016 (as an example, assuming same ladder position and subject to extra FA picks for other clubs).
According to http://www.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/biddingsystemfeedback.pdf, this is a swap of value 1469 points with 1247. I think that's close enough for the AFL and Ken Wood to pass.
Net result is that Adelaide trade away 3 picks they wouldn't use this year anyway (31,49,67), and lose R3 2016. Adelaide now has added 2 x R1 draft picks (9,13,14) for 2015 and Geelong get some middle/late draft picks they need for this year. Geelong and Adelaide are reasonable clubs and this is a close to win-win you will get for losing a star player.
Exactly this...Cats need to either take a hit in the salary cap (by offering overs) or take a hit in losing draft picks/players.Yep, I'd prefer we got nothing and in doing so send him and other clubs a very strong message we will not be dictated to.
It's Geelong responsibility to find a suitable trade. They have known for months that they could have to createw a trade. It's not the crows responsibility to accept less to simply satisfy Geelong and Dangerfield. They are a direct rival, why are we considering giving them a free kick from the goal square.

This.However timing needs to be right
If discussions are moving in the right direction making a public statement now would just add unhealthy tension
No, you get 2 first rounders. 9 from Geelong and 14 from the AFL.So the net result is that Adelaide basically get one first rounder?
Lol
No, you get 2 first rounders. 9 from Geelong and 14 from the AFL.
No, you get 2 first rounders. 9 from Geelong and 14 from the AFL.
My point was that you might only need 3 ND picks this year. So you are giving up 3 later picks you don't need, but Geelong do.And give up four picks? Would prefer two from Geelong and give up nutta
Yes but to get pick 9 you're suggest we have to give up a bunch of picks worth nearly as much as Pick 9.No, you get 2 first rounders. 9 from Geelong and 14 from the AFL.
*sigh*Lets say assume that Adelaide will accept 2 first round picks for PD.
Out of all the 'take the compo' trade scenarios I find this the best one and most likely to pass draft integrity test given your calculations with the pointsLets say assume that Adelaide will accept 2 first round picks for PD.

Remembering however that after the 2nd round you don't really want to be in this draft real value of pick 9 is much more ....let the cats fill their list with 3rd and 4th round for this draft and we will stay at pointy endYes but to get pick 9 you're suggest we have to give up a bunch of picks worth nearly as much as Pick 9.
The means the net value we gain from the trade is the Pick 14 compo and a little bonus "222 points" (the points difference you suggest in your hypothetical trade) which is equivalent to Pick 54.
So no, we don't want Pick 14 and Pick 54 for Danger, we want your two first rounders next year. Cheers.
If we get 9 from geelong doubt we'd end up with the compoNo, you get 2 first rounders. 9 from Geelong and 14 from the AFL.
But we are giving up round 2 2016 pick. I don't like it. We gain pick 9, pick 14, lose danger and a 2nd round pick 2016. So effectively Geelong only give up pick 9 for dangerOut of all the 'take the compo' trade scenarios I find this the best one and most likely to pass draft integrity test given your calculations with the points
Us accepting this ( the club , not the supporters) prob depends on who our trade targets are and what we need in terms of currency to get the trades done
I'd call something like this a possibility if initial trade talks break down
meeeeoooow! Hiss!Brownlow night my GF says is that Dangerfields Wife?
I said: No. His fiance
she said: She looks like a bitch
I said: No comment
But we are on the declineYou know what hurts most?
The fact he is going to a club who has won 3 flags in 10 years.
AFL is supposed to be about creating an equalisation where evert=yone has ups and downs and then they recruit a top 3 player for close to bugger all.
It wouldn't hurt so much if he was going to a Richmond, St Kilda or Western Bulldogs who havn't had a flag in umpteen years.
But 3 flags in 10 years and they are crying they have to do a fair trade. They can trade fairly or lose him.

Ken has made it very very clear
"Wood also wrote that free agency exchanges needed to be in isolation and could not be tied to any other trade between clubs."
Secondary deals that weigh in a teams favor, I dont think Kenny is that stupid to say oh well thats between them isnt it!
