Headline - C list journalist "THINKS" hawks snare Dangerfield...

He is either staying at the Crows or going to Geelong.
Just like buddy was definitely going to GWS. Ive had a good feeling all year we are up to our eyeballs in danger. Will need lake to retire, hale to retire and Suckling to brisbane via free agency. That frees up a fair bit of cash plus left over buddy money.

Danger is one of the most honorable people you'll come across. If he left and went anywhere but Geelong i'd be shocked. Remember Adelaide fans have experience with Tippo to Sydney as well.

Except that it doesn't. Trade period starts October 12. The free agent offers end October 18. It's not hard to have a couple of trades lined up early and then submit Danger's paperwork afterwards when we've got nothing valuable to trade.
Just imagine if you missed out on Danger because you wanted Henderson. Talk about worst trade balls up of all time.

No doubt Danger will be the focus. Depending how much they have to offer him to stop Adelaide matching will probably decide on whether they offer other players money such as Henderson. Although some media going with Henderson a done deal.

If reports are right and Henderson, Selwood, Danger all going to the club with Hawkins new contract and Motlop having a new increased contract, unless you get Cola for living Geelong they is no way they will blow us out of the water considering we have an amount $650K of PD's wage in our cap already, so with the increase in TPP this year $150 how much extra do you think Adelaide will need to find. Matching isnt an issue it will come down to PD and his demands about commiting to Geelong he will wont a commitment back

Oh yeah I want to end up at that metropolis Geelong there was one decent hotel and about 10 restaurants I could go to FFS that were open on a Tuesday night
You are aware Geelong is not a capital city. That's not the attraction, it's a provincial city, nothing more.

If you want that type of lifestyle go to Melbourne, many like the quieter life as well though.

I thought we were over comparing cities not my fault Geelong is just a large country town with less than 250000.

Yes and it relates to this thread as Patrick likes that lifestyle. Can't see him living in Melbourne at all.

As I've said all along Marty, it's Adelaide or Geelong. Rumblings of other clubs is just irrelevant noise.

I agree I am swaying towards Geelong and Connors did advise that he thought it was between the two clubs and after all if anyone knows he will. The reason I'm swaying towards Geelong is based on time, based on PD's reactions would think he is staying

There would be a handful of people that probably know which way he is leaning but you can pretty much guarantee that none of them would have leaked anything both AFC and GFC have been real quiet which is great.

The media are making assumptions, justified ones though as I am with Adelaide matching any offer that is well and truly a justified assumption

Ive never heard dangerfield come out and say its adelaide or geelong. I know the media repeat it at nauseum but has danger or his manager specifically said it? Obviously it makes sense but if a big offer comes late from another vic club he'd be silly not to consider it

His manager talked about the only lure of leaving the Crows would be to come to Moggs Creek aka the Cats. From about 50 seconds in.

FWIW I can't remember a similar interview given by a player manager. Seems to me the purpose was to get it out in the open early in the season.

Why wouldn't danger himself just say it's either crows or cats and im still deciding, let u know at the end of the season. Im suspicious after the buddy move i guess, may come across as wishful thinking but feel the hawks are up to something. For what its worth i think geelong is a better move for him. Hawks will be on the way down soon similar to Geelongs last 2 years and cats have done a rebuild by stealth and will be on the way up again soon.

+1 I think you will be going for some slightly younger talent. We are about 3 years ahead of you in our rebuild. Danger would be 29 when the rest of our squad is up and about IMO.

Both top ten picks in the same draft. Both from Geelong Falcons. Both from country Vic - about 1/2 hr drive from Moggs Creek to Birregurra.

They are probably mates and love the idea of playing together at the Cats.

Trading in one won't stop us securing the other. :)
