We Await Silent Tristero's Empire
Because he's NOT a premiership captain
On that basis, do you rate Nick Maxwell as a better player than Nick Riewoldt?

Because he's NOT a premiership captain
If you want a player as a RFA, you need to offer a higher salary (that won't be matched), or trade for it.
You can measure players in salary (existing player) or trade picks (young or future player).
But it won't. Whatever deal that needs to be made to keep the compo pick in the equation, means AFC have to give something back to GFC. Danger plus anything is far too far over the top.My point is 14 will keep every happy.

Now seriously, is there something tricky in this that makes it difficult to understand? How many more times does it have to be explained?
While Geelong supporters are getting their heads around it, try this for yet one more time also - Dangerfield is not, repeat, not, a free agent.
Adelaide doesn't have to keep anyone happy when it matches. We match, we ask Geelong for 2 first and Murdoch. Geelong want Paddy, and so sign off on the deal.Geelong and Adelaide have to get together and keep 14 in the equation. I think both clubs are smart enough with 80 odd players pick 9 and 13, 27 and 30 plus next years draft picks to work something out which which both clubs are happy with.
There has to be players that both clubs need from each other to work it out. Adelaide and geelong need to take advantage of the fact 14 is right there if they can be mature about things.
Just an example
Trade 1
9 Murdoch to Adelaide for 14 plus 3 round
Trade 2
adelaides 30 plus next next years second round for geelongs next years first round pick.
Trade 3
27 for a have decent player from Adelaide but waited to Adelaide.
Afl can't do shit about tampering. All far trades.
Out
geelong
9, 27, Murdoch rd1 2016
In danger, 14, 30, rd2 2016 third round 2015 additional half decent Adelaide player.
Adeaide
Out danger, 30 "half decent" Adelaide player round 2 2016, round 3 2015
In. 9, 27, Murdoch, rd1 2016
Gets Adelaide 2 first round picks upgrade of round 2 this year in shallow draft and a have decent tall runner with great kick.
My point is 14 will keep every happy.
Have always thought 2 first rounders would do it. It's not immediately equivalent to a Dangerfield, but it extracts enough pain from Geelong-we-shouldn't have-to-pay-anything, to be satisfying, and while we lose a great player, who knows what gem we might unearth?Some people on this board are arguing for that. I am not one of them. I think Danger is worth your first rounders and a quality player, but I think we'll have to accept two first rounders.
But it won't. Whatever deal that needs to be made to keep the compo pick in the equation, means AFC have to give something back to GFC. Danger plus anything is far too far over the top.

Why? It's up to Geelong to come up with an amicable trade. Anything involving the Crows not matching, getting pick 14 and then some unbalanced way of us getting pick 9 will be deemed illegal by the AFL. Cats fans really need to get their heads around the fact they won't have 2 first rounders in the next two years and move on.But it's not about Adelaide giving it back, it's not yours the second you match. It's the AFLs. The net result for Adelaide and geelong will be better if 14 is kept in play.
I know it isn't.But it's not about Adelaide giving it back, it's not yours the second you match. It's the AFLs. The net result for Adelaide and geelong will be better if 14 is kept in play.

Rational, constructive, respectful, intelligent negotiation is what's needed
Bitterness? It's called a fair trade. Danger is worth Pick 1 and pick 15 on the open market. 2 first rounders from Geelong is half that. It's not ideal for us but it's the minimum Geelong should be willing to give up. Your deal posted is bad for Adelaide because we wish to trade for other players, we're not the team gaining a superstar player, we shouldn't be expected to give up anything other than the player. Also, no where have Geelong said they aren't willing to give up two first rounders.Well let's just close the thread, the deals done.
That's just your anger talking not what's best for the club.
Geelong have already stated they are not prepared to lose 2 first round picks, you guys want 2 first round picks. 14 is there staring both clubs in the face that will solve everything. All trades I stated above are fair, there's no jade Rawlings pick 6 rubbish in there. That's just one example.
Are you more concerned about screwing geelong or getting the maximum for Adelaide? Rational, constructive, respectful, intelligent negotiation is what's needed not bitterness.
