Wait..... aren't WE threatening to send him to the draft by matching??? That's does not make sense.
No its match.
Then stay or be traded.
Then draft if a trade cant be reached.

Seriously, if thats their attitude, they can **** right off. We have a right to match.

Mate understand the frustration however lets Wai to see how the cards fall before making a final judgement

More I think about Woosha the lead worry I am.about him leaving
I remember waiting to see how the cards fell for the Tippet fiasco after the administration seemed oddly confident and playing their cards close to their chest. Cards fell right into a shit sandwich.

Yeah, but we would threaten to send him to the draft if Geelong doesn't come to the table with a good offer.
Danger sending himself to the draft is like him saying 'I don't care if I play in Melbourne, Carlton or Brisbane'. If he didn't care then he wouldn't have a problem with us trading him there. It doesn't make sense.

Something seems seriously twisted about Caros scoop. just can't put my finger on it.
Sound like a planted story, right down to the draft pick thing?

Caro in on the big con job we're pulling?

Despite it coming from Caro, there still remains nothing concrete.

Interestingly at the start of the year Caro was convinced he was gone, then she changed her position, albiet marginally, now she's back in the 100% gone camp.

People probably don't want to hear it, but I can't help but feel that if Ratfield was forced into the PSD, that all other clubs would pass on him to allow him to go to Geelong. History (excepting Nick "fatty" Stevens) tells us this.

Saying that, how would she know?

Unless Danger was her source
Assuming he's flagged he wants to go then there would be people at AFL house that know, people at AFC that know, and his manager would know. Probably people at Geelong as well.

There is absolutely no doubt that Caroline Wilson has excellent sources within a few Victorian clubs and within AFL House. Like her or hate her, she is in another league to most of the lazy journos that have "scooped" this before.

This is Caro Wilson's forte, ie inside knowledge of Clubs and trades etc. I would trust her information.

Connors definitely implied that we should know Dangers intentions in the coming days.... this week even. THANK GOD! I'm completely over this nonsense and whilst ive been in the staying camp this whole time and kinda still hoping he does stay I'd be lying if i said I wasn't excited about the potential players picks we could get in return.
He aint stayin'. Get excited about who we're gonna pick up.

I cant see some of the bottom Clubs passing over him. If it means losing a compo pick I would roll the dice. A compo pick around 12 or 13 is not going to assist us much. Then again, we may need bargaining chips to go after certain players.

Oh for sure. She certainly has her contacts.

Am I the only one that thinks that a deal has already been informally agreed to between the Cats and Adelaide?

Given this has gone on for as long as it has, I would imagine both parties would be wanting to get this sorted as early as possible in the trade period to allow them to move onto other targets. Given the size of the trade/player, I can't help but think the wheels are already spinning quite vigorously on this one.

Russell says a deals already been done between Geelong and us because Cats don't want to over pay him. Source impeccable according to Russell, Bicks and Rowey.

If they are not going to put a huge contract on his head then he's likely to get picked up by teams in the draft.

Caro's story sounds like rubbish.

Bit over all this crap. According to the media a shitsandwich is about to descend on the Crows. Everyone leaving, none wanting to stay.

I think I might sign off here and come back in January! Ok maybe not, but I think I will stay away until trade week.

Even with a huge contract, most of the bottom Victorian Clubs before Geelong could roll the dice and get him. Except for maybe the Pies because of cap space already committed. Saints, Demons, Blues easily. Hell Lions may want to give it a chance.
