I would go harder at Geelong. 2 first rounders and Gregson.

They are desperate for him. Plus their first rounders are not exactly top 5 picks either.
You miss the point. Taking Geelongs first rounder(s) hurts them. Taking a compo pick doesn't.

Therefore match

FWIW - Brenton Sanderson was just on ABC with Whateley and he believes that it is still not known what Danger will do. He said Chris Scott obviously knows that he is a strong chance to be at Geelong but said Patrick is a unique individual and wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he comes out tomorrow and announces a 5 year deal with Adelaide.
Oh FFS. Stop throwing straws at me to clutch!!!;)

According to some caller on 3aw she heard the Adelaide runner at Geelong V Adelaide say to a mate in the crowd that Dangerfield wants to go back. Doesn't sound like she was making it up either. The club definitely knows.

Leigh Matthews asked Caro on 3AW how does everyone know Danger is going, Lloyd was also on. Her response:

Danger has always let it be known his heart is in Moggs Creek
Dwayne Russell has ties in Geelong, Adelaide and is close to Danger and he is adamant he's going. Inferring Danger has told him and some others he's going.

Nothing concrete I would have thought.

Also Matthews said Crows should definitely match because Danger would play his heart out no matter what and doesn't hate the Crows.

Having said that matching will force a trade.

If some recall very early in the year I mentioned an ex senior board member told someone I know that he was going. Would not surprise this came out last years trade period when we wanted him to commit and he wouldn't.

The only reason we wouldn't match is if:

a) we're happy with compo (we shouldn't be unless the AFL does something unprecedented)
b) we want a club that finished around the same place on the ladder as us - ie a direct rival next year - to have a top 3 player for free

Sorry but what other reason is there for not matching?

They are complete morons on the Geelong board.

We can not match, because Carlton didn't match for Betts. We received Betts for nothing, therefore it's only fair they receive Dangerfield for nothing.

Except, the part they are forgetting - Carlton had the choice to match but didn't.

Only way we don't match...

1) the AFL say we will receive 2 top 10 picks.

In 2011, our club made good use of its draft picks and fringe players(Maric/Armstrong) to help mitigate the loss of Davis and Gunston, whilst putting the wheels in place to cover the loss of Kurt(unfortunately we weren't counting on Tippett taking 2x firsts and 2x seconds with him and offering nothing in return).

We netted Crouch, Brown, Lynch, Jenkins, Kerridge, Grigg, CEY that trade/draft period, for Davis, Gunston, Maric, Armstrong and our draft picks that year. That's 4 best 22 players, plus 3 fringe players, who've all proven capable at the highest level.

If Danger leaves, we need a similar style trade period and there certainly appears to be some quite catchable fish in the ocean.

As a side note, if we do lose Danger, I think we should definitely chase Bennell. It's a risk, no doubt, but we need to be bold if we're to recover from Paddy's loss. Even if we were to grab Menzel, Aish and Hampton, there's still a massive talent hole in our side, Bennell goes a long way to fixing that and likely would only cost one first rounder plus some steak knives.
The only adequate player compensation for Danger would be Bennell IMO.
