This thread seems more about if Adelaide will match or not with the majority of non Geelong supporters saying The AFC would be dumb not to force a trade. GFC supporters don't want us to as they want him for free which is fair enough but that is hope why wouldn't Adelaide want to force a trade for the 2nd best player in the comp behind Fyfe

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.
And what are you going to tell hodge lewis mitchell and roughead about how they have sacrificed cash for the team to bring in an outsider on more cash.

Hodge and Mitchell unlikely to be around for much more than a year or two and as the bloke stated below don't see how it's any different to selwood, hawkins, bartel, taylor.

Cats will be next year 5 years since a flag and most of that era gone. Hawks next year might be coming off 3 premierships. I think its a hell of a lot easier for cats to justify making him the highest paid player than hawks.

Danger should be paid more then Selwood not only is he better he will be taking attention away from Selwood
That's a matter if personal opinion but I will pose a question.

How many best and fairests has Patty won in a vastly inferior side as opposed to Selwood? We'll ignore All-Australian captaincy for now as I don't deem that as important.

You can ask as many questions as you like but ask any non crows or no Geelong supporter and I would dare to bet the majority would say PD over selwood whether it's because Selwood plays for frees or simply danger is a better player

I guess we'll find out from the coaches next year on who they decide to tag.

What left over Buddy money?

Conservatively Mcevoy $400k, Frawley $500k have come in since Buddy departed. You're probably in deficit if anything

Both will be tagged and we can have our opinions anout our own players but they are biased because we support those teams. If you want to a true indication ask the fans of other clubs who is better PD v Selwood what you generally read has PD ahead.

People who say there is any left over Money are talking crap. You must by the rules use 95% of the cap and very few teams use that Port did then had to use 105% to catch up now they have to reduce. So when you are using 100% of your cap where has this left over money gone.

They're both soon to be Geelong players so my bias most certainly isn't factored in.;)

I'd like to see some factual evidence in regards to the last part, because it would be poor to make a statement purely based on nothing without the supporting evidence.

I'll use Selwood's best and fairests in a better performed side to use as evidence to back up my statement. Has Patty won one?

Like I said believe what you want I thin its fairly common knowledge in the foorball world apart from at Geelong and Adelaide PD is a much better all round player who doesnt rely on dropping hsi legs and playing for head high tackles

Like I said... Evidence?

All-Australian captain 2 years in a row suggests otherwise.

That certainly does not follow.

Please try not to turn this into another p#$&ing contest.

Adelaide has had Talia, Smith, Sloane, Thompson, Jacobs, Betts all contesting for B&Fs.

Geelong has had Selwood & Harry Taylor.

I can't see him staying at Adelaide now. Very rare a player will go through this speculation and stay. Will be at Geelong, can't really see another team come into calculations.

People saying Hawthorn, I very doubt our CEO would categorically rule it out, then go back on his word. I think Hawthorn will be into someone else.

With all those great players at the Crows, you'd have thought that they'd have finished above Geelong in the last few years and made a prelim at best.

Selwood has 2 best and fairests in prelim years and another last year when we finished 2nd after the home and away rounds... Please.

It's a moot argument anyway as Selwood won't be involved in any potential trade for Danger.:D

No kidding, I am not bragging or trying to have a crack at Selwood its your good luck that Danger will probably end up at Geelong and he will be your best player on your list.

More the reason for the AFC to match any offer and ensure that if you want such a gun you will trade. Any club would trade two first rounders to get such a gun that is unders for someone of his ability and Im sure geelong will make that is their priority in front of Henderson, Selwood or even retaining Motlop.
