I'm not sure how you can be so adamant that we won't get close within 4 years. We have an absolute glut of quality youngsters, 4th-5th youngest list and likely to finish 11-11 with a healthy percentage. With a bit of luck in close games we could've been borderline top 4. Don't let your hatred of Collingwood colour your judgement.
Fair enough,but still, I'm a bit riled up by that condescending nuffie who potted Richmond, coming a week after the Tigers smashed you mob by 91 points.

And i stand by my firm belief that Collingwood or any other Vic club is no chance for Danger, his missus is/was a Geelong season tix holder, if he wanted finals success he'd sign with Hawthorn.

He's missed the boat with Hawthorn. Richmond looks a promising side for the next 3-5 years, but so do we. That's all I meant.

also depends on how delistings and retirements are handled. Sorry to bring up the topic which was discussed ad nauseum by Carey and Ling last night

I don't understand people on here who say he's definitely gone. Unless you've talked to him, his girlfriend or his parents, I doubt you've got a damn clue if he's leaving or not. He has STATED that a decision whether to stay or leave is still beyond him, so all it is on here is speculation and personal beliefs (yes i know it's a forum and that's what it's for).

He is very happy at Adelaide and it shows by the massive grin always on his face whenever you see him. We're on the way up and Geelong are not at the present moment. The urge to go home is immense for him so he has a career changing decision to make in the next few weeks.

The way geelong played last night, danger would be wasting his talent there....
and the way the pies played a week earlier? or what about how we played a fortnight earlier than that v Sydney. Very near-sighted to make a decision based off playing poorly on Friday night. Still confident it's Adelaide or Geelong and if he stays so be it....

You guys are on the way down, bringing in danger wont make you serious flag contenders. Just gonna be another goddard at essendon or daisy at carlton scenario.... If danger goes to geelong hes in it for the money and just gonna take it easy after that.

Nah we won't be down for long especially if we get the players we're linked with.

Like Henderson and Scott Selwood?

Lmao.
Those two and the big fish.

Henderson shores up the backline whilst kolodjashnij develops, Selwood and dangerfield help with our clearance problems. Think about it this way at 7:50 last night as the ump was bouncing the ball we were still able to surpass your club despite spending 2/3 of the season without a ruckmen, Half the season without Duncan, having one of the hardest draws and having only 27-28 guys to pick from during the middle of the season.

So all that and being the worst clearance side and we we're still in the hunt for finals, what's your excuse for being a finals also ran?

Okay so as sad as that was if you're using that as a blanket covers everything excuse then that's a cop out. You weren't much better than a 6-8 side beforehand so that doesn't wash.
We were a 7-10 side coming into the season and that's where we're going to finish. Losing our coach in those circumstances makes things 1000000 times harder. The fact we're even going to make the finals is a massive achievement in itself considering what's gone on the last 8 weeks.

Anyway, Henderson is average. Always has been always will be. Selwood is decent when he wants to be.

Oh well they'll be good support acts for our marquee signing...

Shameless copying and pasting this over...

As much fun as it is to shit stir Crows fans about Danger leaving, its gotten to that point for me now that its much funner to stir up Cat's fans about Dangerfield not leaving as it feels like they've now assumed he's locked in the bag. Dangerfield wants a premiership and if he thinks that after last nights display Geelong is more likely than Adelaide, he's insanely deluded. Adelaide have much better structures in place, are financially more sound, are a younger team overall with many more of their younger players pulling the slack and setting up the future of the club.

In terms of off field success for a setup in the media, he's in a much much better situation in Adelaide and the only other club that I think could offer him better opportunities is Collingwood. He is basically revered by 50% of the population here who supports Adelaide. He has investments here and if he wants to see his family more, Adelaide would let him do that in a heartbeat.

The only reason I see him going to Geelong is to be closer to his family, which in reality won't be that significant with the workload he has as it is. The only other club I see competing for his contract is Collingwood, but I don't see them offering the $$$ to pull him over. Will be surprised to see him leave Adelaide - he is in a very good position there right now, as is their list.

You lollingwood supports are truly delusional. In a nutshell you started rebuilding around the same time as Geelong and have compared dismally.

11-11 is nothing to bring about. Last year Geelong finished 2nd and you made 11th :eek:

You've been particularly poor over your rebuild. Whereas Geelong have been fantastic and their worst is still far off yours. Their best far better too. Apples and Oranges really.

You have no idea. Geelong has 9 players over 30 on their list. Collingwood has one.

Geelong are only starting to rebuild now. Collingwood has been rebuilding since the 2012 off-season when we traded Wellingham and Dawes and Tarrant retired. Since then, Ben Johnson, Luke Ball, Darren Jolly, Alan Didak, Nick Maxwell etc. all retired.

You're the delusional one.
