Which begs the question, why did Geelong chase him now and not offer a godfather contract that we couldn't match? They are playing right into our hands.
My theory is that Danger expressed an interest in coming home for family reasons and Geelong didn't feel like they could or should say "wait another 2 years so we can get you for nothing". If they weren't willing to pay a sufficient amount they should either have waited 2 years or offered a huge contract. They have chosen not to and they have to live with the consequences of that decision. We will match and Geelong will have to come up with fair value as they would for any uncontracted player who nominates a club unless one of 2 things needs to happen 1 - the AFL up the compo or 2 - a side deal is done that gets us another first rounder or equivalent.
If he goes into the ND he will get picked up by a club who has him for one or 2 yesr and that club can then trade him to Geelong in exactly the same circumstances Geelong have now. I can't see Danger wanting to go into the ND and potentially ending up in Brisbane.
if Geelong won't come to the party I don't think Danger and Yoko staying in Adelaide for 2 more years is as far fetched as everyone thinks. We get 2 more years then GFC get him for nothing.
