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

[Johnny Rutten]

9 and 28 will only be acceptable if a half-decent player is added to it, or another 2nd round pick.

Otherwise, it must be 2 1st-round picks.

Show some balls Crows... there is no reason to get the deal done early... stalling is acceptable in these circumstances...

 

[robboaustralia]

I'm not going on media reports, wait till the actual transaction is complete.

then we can meltdown...

Great I will have 42 pages to catch up on tonight when I get home from work. Should be entertaining.

I found this image entertaining. Paddy can be mayor of Geeeelong, they might be needing a new one soon.

Ok... firstly, we don't know if this IS the deal.

Secondly, Crows may have other trades in the pipeline that can only go ahead when we know the outcome of THIS one.

We were NEVER going to get 2 first round picks for him. EVER. They aren't in the position to do that. We aren't in a position to say no - well, we are, but we'd get nothing. SO, the compromise is a first, a second and a player of dubious quality. Still better than compo of pick 14 alone, and far better than nothing.

Why? Here are some more naughty images that I'm sure no-one would blink an eye at if they were on a t-shirt

Then they should be offering more money than they have!

If you don't have the picks to offer a RFA, you must pony up the cash, or vice versa

Not our problem they don't have the picks

Actually, yes it is.

Did you read the qoute? Gas, grass or ass, no one rides for free
He is the mayor what a clown

 

[King Elvis]

Actually, yes it is.

No, it's not.

If I'm selling my house for $500k, and you only have $450k to spend, it's not my problem.

Either find more currency, or don't bother coming to the auction.

 

[dogs105]

No, it's not.

If I'm selling my house for $500k, and you only have $450k to spend, it's not my problem.

Either find more currency, or don't bother coming to the auction.

Although, the bit about the house walking away from you breaks down that analogy.

 

[jenny61_99]

No, it's not.

If I'm selling my house for $500k, and you only have $450k to spend, it's not my problem.

Either find more currency, or don't bother coming to the auction.

But it's not your house to sell.

 

[King Elvis]

Although, the bit about the house walking away from you breaks down that analogy.

No, because there are other interested parties who can give me what I want.

But it's not your house to sell.

Yes it is.

What if the banks was going to take it from you for nothing if you didnt do the deal?

 

[King Elvis]

What if the banks was going to take it from you for nothing if you didnt do the deal?

Fine with me, but you're not getting it for $400k in that case, either.

I'll revise my scenario; there are other buyers willing to pay more than you.

They can afford it, you can't; how badly you want it, is not my concern.

 

[Glenno23]

Yes it is.

Especially considering Geelong hasn't priced us out of the market with their offer

They've not even gone slightly overboard for a top 5 player in the comp. 800K a year is par for PD

 

[dogs105]

No, because there are other interested parties who can give me what I want.

Not if your house refuses to be sold to those other parties.

 

[King Elvis]

Not if your house refuses to be sold to those other parties.

It's a house, it doesn't have a choice.

We have zero obligation to Geelong or Dangerfield.

Why do you say they aren't in the position to give 2 first round picks? To me they clearly are - they have pick 9 this year, which we will have thank you very much. And (arguably) luckily for us, this year clubs can begin trading future year draft picks. So they can bloody well cough up their first rounder next year too. Voila, 2 first round picks. I don't give a flying fu** what other players Geelong want to try land this trade period and need to retain picks next year - you go chasing a top 5 player in the league you can forget for the time being trying to get other bloody players with draft picks.

But this is where your analogy breaks down. Danger does have a choice.

I cannot believe people who actually think Geelong don't have the currency to satisfy us.

They do, but they don't want to give it up, and nor should they.

But, again, that's not our problem.

The only issue is that your house get's a say in it...

 

[King Elvis]

No he doesn't.

Geelong satisfy us at the trade table, or he goes in the draft/PSD. We should be negotiating with other teams anyway.
