Calculated risk. We'd need to have a fair bit of confidence in our footy dept to fill up our future salary cap and hope to low-ball based on premiership success though. Especially considering a gap in high end draft pucks to be felt if we cannot replace them with suitable free agents. But I do kinda like the idea of rolling the dice, very old un-adelaide like. Well, at least legally.
We've also got the new TV rights coming into play in a year or two I think? With that the cap should see a rise which is why I think Sydney offered Franklin the money they did. Regardless, other teams can still offer more but if you're a top side, your very rarely give players up to those lower ranked clubs unless they offer that player a ridiculous amount of $$$/years.

Personally, I'd rather see us go all or nothing, at least if it comes off it should mean we're a premiership side rather then a top 8 side that isn't quite good enough to challenge.

Personally I would be happy to bank on the Tex, Sloane, Talia and B.Crouch quartet as the franchise players for the next 5 years and back in the draft and moneybag approach from there
Ironically the word you chose gives the opposite impression of the word I think you meant to use.:p

At least they've got to the Grand Final a few times and had a solid crack at it compared to what we've done over the past 15 odd years.

Obviously Lyon trading picks for role players hasn't helped their list long term but I think it's been more damaged with just how poorly they're run off the field.

I think it's quite obvious that Patrick will be a Western Bulldog in 2016 #SocialMediaConclusions

Pretty sure danger follows players at most clubs.

Interesting fact - teams who pay a player $1m+ pa have never won a flag.

Still confident danger will re-sign with Afc, so long as the season gets off to a decent start & he can see success being achieved.

Even if he goes, I'd like to see a strategy that utilises his pace to cut zones to shreds. I know his brute force can extract the nut from a contest, but just because he can doesn't mean it's in the best interests of the the team that he does.

Teams with a "Patrick Dangerfield" have never won a flag either :p

Bad news guys, Dangerfield just friended me, I think we can only reasonably conclude that he's being lured away from AFL football to join my mixed netball team and/or social racquetball competition.
I thought he thought now Rory's off your table, he's in with a shot.

Not like you to make any outlandish statements.

Are you able to expand at all?
No it isnt, but it is a very very firm belief and knowledge from people who would know. Expect a similar situation to 2012, provided of course the club keeps heading in an upward trend.
