It wasnt for lack of trying though? No one can fault Danger for trying his hardest this season; he didn't fall off, and if anything got better as the season went on. Its not like Ablett or Franklin single-handedly won their club a flag; its a team sport, so not sure what your point is.
Hurts us a lot more that he's leaving than when those other players left.

1st rounder this year and next years 1st rounder is the absolute minimum that has to be offered by Geelong. Or Carlton start getting excited.
What if Geelong trade them out first - is that possible? I.e. can Geelong trade their first round pick(s) before making the offer to Dangerfield, thereby removing Adelaide's incentive to match the deal?

I've seen it suggested around the traps a bit, but not sure if it is possible.

I find it hard to believe Adelaide could command anything close to his "true worth" given he is out of contract. I wouldn't be surprised if we take our chances in the draft should Adelaide demand a king's ransom.
2 x first rd picks is not kings ransom for player of dangers quality, especially considering richmond were offering the same to the giants for treloar who is not dangerfield.

Of course, when GFC drag out proceedings and threaten the PSD, Carlton, Melbourne and Essendon will start licking their lips.

You reckon Danger will feel 100% comfortable with that?
Prob the same as the AFC watching their compo turn to dust…..

Fans are usually a one in the hand is better than 2 in the bush types…
Good luck having Roo explain to an already tense faithful that in pushing for a bit more, and being stout, they lost PD and the compo…

Cant see a net net return of zilch being best for the AFC.

Crows will match. You will give up two first rounders. The only way you get the right to give up no picks is to offer silly money that we won't match.

Thems the rules.

Ok Marty.
While you were in the future did you happen to grab this weeks lotto numbers as well?

And I see you've abated to just 2 x Rd1 now…. no player as well? Must be reality setting in.

its amazing when you look at the age and inexperience of our list to think how quickly we will climb back up, with key players in the next few years to hit 23-26 years of age, + add in henderson dangerfield and S selwood, we will be right up there. exciting times for geelong! shit never tasted so good like you say
