If he tells Connors tomorrow that he wants Geelong (that's if Connors doesn't already know the decision), then the media line will be "Patty just needs more time after the emotional upheaval of the past month, so he just wants to focus on his footy till the end of the season".

Exactly. It'll either be he's staying at the Crows or more of the same. If it's more of the same then he's gone. He's had enough time so I think he's ready (if he hasn't already) to tell Connors.

The 'emotion' line makes me think Danger has changed his mind from Geelong to Adelaide, but Connors/others don't want that outcome…probably reading too much into it.

C'mon Patty…just sign for 3+ years!!

Is that a direct quote or your statement?

Who said it, if it was a quote?

Yes!
This is my take too. I believe that Danger has told Connors that he wants to stay at the Crows but Connors wants to change his mind. That is the reason for the quote from Connors and Caro that he should not make his mind up during this emotional period.

Connors is his manager. He serves Dangerfield, not the other way around

Mate, you know I'm a fan, but you were trolling them; doing it politely and acting sincere doesn't change that ;)
Come on mate, Elite Crow was asking a very legitimate question. They took umbrage because they lost.

The 'emotion' line quotes from Connors as per advertiser article:

"But it's not unreasonable for Pat to say to me that it's been an emotional period and I haven't given it some thought lately and I was thinking one thing and I'm now thinking another"

"And I don't think it's unreasonable for him to be given time to work through this and not make a decision in an emotional state"

You don't think that managers would try to persuade their clients to take a specific action? Especially if they think it is for their own good?
Not really. Possibly. But in this case, Connors' cut will be the same at Adelaide or Geelong so I'm sure he doesn't care.

Good sporting managers don't dictate what their clients should do.

Not necessarily. There could be quite some time between "yeah I want to stay" and actually putting pen to paper. How long did it take Rory? Ages.
Agreed. It was a very long process for Sloane, much shorter for Douglas. Player contract's are a complex beast, especially when big names are involved.
