Sturt
someone just sent me this:

Scott Camporeale: Paddy!
Dangerfield: Hey, Scott
Camporeale: Hey, Scott, indeed!
Dangerfield: What? What is it?
Camporeale: Were you just gonna leave, just like that?
Dangerfield: I'm sorry, Scott. It's the life of the free agent. He's a fraud. Today he wants to win the premiership for the Crows, tomorrow he's a Cat or God knows what.
Camporeale: You're the best midfielder we'll ever have.
Dangerfield: That's not true. Others will come.
Camporeale: Oh, please!
Dangerfield: You're right, I'm the best. But they need me over in Geelong.
Camporeale: But we need you too.
Dangerfield: That's the problem with being a mid-table team. Anybody who really cares will abandon you for more money

If Caro's source is from the AFC, then I think it would be a strategic release of info. Not a leak. World of difference. Leaks happen outside your control.

But I don't think it's the AFC. We look like amateurs still.
We look like amateurs? I'm sorry, but I think I'm about to go into a burst of rage! The media have been guessing our off field dealings since the new admin came in at the end of last year, which they had no idea about as well.

I'm on the edge because there are some seriously stupid posts in here since our loss.

Got no doubt he luvs AFC, and the fact he hasnt shopped himself around where he could have easily gotten 1.2m p.a for 6yrs type contract would suggest this is his main reason for leaving.
Makes sense if true - he os doing what Is best for family - not just himself ? Which makes any fancy job for mum and dad downright dirty.

disagree, Judd was certainly the better player, but given the current standards of the game they are both certainly the same tier, and that is the top tier.
i disagree, judd was top 2-3 player for a long time, danger is probably between 5-10 now.
i was just comparing them in regards to what we should receive for him.

I think it's obvious the AFC have given info to Caro
I absolutely agree.

Caro has been quiet about this all year without any sources, suddenly she has one. It also happens to be that she is the Crows new favoured reporter (we all remember her pieces on Sloane and Walsh).

Add to this the fact it was a very AFC centred piece, and was complementary to the crows professionalism.

Clearly a strategic release from AFC to bring this to a head so PD can't string it out to the detriment of Crows supporters.

And guessing right in this case to the point where the whole town of Geelong knew what was going on and crickets coming out of AFC. Amateurs. Fages needs to step up because we are being weak at the moment.

We fly as one? **** off. Dangers been flying on his own all season and we've done nothing about it.

If thats what it takes to convince the last refuge of the gullible I guess the club could do them the courtesy of making an announcement to put them out of their misery
There's no need to be a flog about supporters holding out optimism for as long as possible.

Providing we now believe Caro's article (I certainly do), the interesting part is going to be the timing of the announcement.

The AFC has the chance to set an example by leading the way in changing the attitude to free agency. There will come a time when players will be able to announce part way through the season that they will be leaving for another club, without fear of the kind of backlash they'll most certainly receive in present times. It won't be soon, but eventually it will be the norm.

Crows need to be ethical and mature about this, as they have been, if reports are true that they've been aware of PD's intentions.



Then we match, and ****ingwell take Geelong's ball sac as a trade, and their first draft pick for the next fifteen years, or PD ends up playing for Carlton.:)
I know what you are trying to say, but no matter what positive spin we try to devise it is all shit....

Gunston
Tippett
Bock
Davis
Johnson
Stenglien
Vardy
Dangerfield

To name a few. All were decent players. We are sick of being the whipping boys. How many do we attract to this club? I am talking about bonafide stars?

Sorry.....I am saying it. Boo!

Saying Danger is a tier below brownlow medallist, norm smith medalist, premiership captain Judd is being very kind to Patrick.
name a better midfielder than Danger who is also on the market, there isn't one.

he is comfortably the most desirable player, hence top tier IN TRADE VALUE.

I'll also point out that the whole point of using the word tier is that it doesn't mean that anyone or thing in each tier is necessarily equal.

Stevo is at it again on talking footy.

Now it would be "unfair on Dangerfield to match"

If he is just an employee to which the club owes nothing, the club is just an employer who owes nothing to him

Get the best you can for him, don't be rolled by these VFL media personalities
Exactly, it's all about us now.

Geelong can do whatever the **** they want, why on earth would you want our club to leak he was leaving before our season was complete? What does that help with, your paranoia?

I just can't believe posts like this after the events of this season, there are plenty going on ignore when this whole saga ends.

This is obviously a time for men with testiculi majorus, but I'm convinced if we work this right we'll be a better side. Guns very rarely bring team success. If we can get two or three very solid players who can use the footy we'll be a better team than having Danger winning it and then Mackay, VB etc at our bottom end. Its all a matter of matching and nailing the compo.

Look at me players have a way of distracting teams as well, ask Blight about McDermott, Andrew Jarman, Tony McGuinness et al

Massive opportunity to come out of this better off, as a team.

I cant wait for the awkwardness.......its gonna be funny
Agree - there's going to be shitloads of excuses and sideways glanced happening !

Admit I was in the thought he'd stay camp however have aleays been unperturbed if he goes.

He is a great player but he is not irreplaceable - was always more concerned if we lose KPP like Tex or Talia.

Was prepared if he left to not be bitter but if his " haven't made up my mind " was a lie , he has dropped in my estimation considerably. I don't like being lied to.

That was why I hated the Tippett and Gunston thing - don't bullshit.
If you're going - go - clean out your locker and let us play players that are the future of the club

Motivation for wanting to not come clean ... Brownlow votes maybe ?
