And will Geelong be acting in Dangerfield's best interest? I would hope so. Not organising a reasonable trade would be very ordinary, sending him to another club would be a low-act by your club - wouldn't it? I would say that all of the posters on BF saying that Geelong will hang AFC out to dry, are so far off base they need to check themselves. No way a deal doesn't get done early. It would be traitorous of Geelong to leave PD hanging on the threat of PSD and a club like Carlton or Brisbane jumping into the mix.
I quite like Adelaide, but as I was saying, I believe acting against Dangerfield's wishes would be a mistake for them. He has been at the club 7 or 8 years and the other players would be close to him. Screwing him to get the best deal doesn't become okay because he is leaving. That sort of thing is destabilizing for the culture and a mind f#$k for the remaining players. Think of gossip at your workplace. Do you think a friend like Sloane would think less of Patty or Adelaide if they sent him through the PSD?
Either way this is just a hypothetical because a deal is likely to be done. Just by even making the comments though, I feel that Fagan makes it slightly less comfortable for the remaining players.
