Off Season Trade Rumours

[DazBurg]

Word is Cats are going to offer Danger a 5 year deal but Crows will match it...

Will they match over $1m a season?

Pick a number. They'll match it.

I thought the Crows would easily get 1st round compo for Dangerfield

They cannot complain now though, they were offered both picks 2 & 3 last season for him and turned it down.

I know they are matching it so they can trade him and get something out of Geelong. But I don't really agree with it, Dangerfield has respected his contract with the Crows and hasn't formally said anything about his decision, as a professional athlete should. The Crows should respect him for it and the services he's provided, let him go, and collect the compo.

Making the process difficult for Dangerfield would be perceived negatively around the AFL. Especially when the logical choice (even at the time people criticised the Crows decision to turn down the Demon's offer) was rejected by the Crows last year. Either way the Crows have won. They have had a fantastic player for the last 5-7 years and will get first round compo upon his departure. Sounds like a win-win for everyone involved.

Don't think the Crows can match $1mil per season with Tex, Betts, & a recently contracted Sloane as well tbh (Danger already cashes in $600k per season...). They have already been in trouble with Tippett and if they somehow offer over $1mil per season, I don't think it would be worth having the AFL investing their books  :P

What a load of shower.

First of all, Melbourne did not offer 2 & 3, it was all speculation and Danger would never had agreed to go to the Dees, he always intended on fulfilling his contract.

''The Crows should respect him for it and the services he's provided, let him go, and collect the compo.'' Oh turn it up! As soon as Danger accepts Geelongs offer, he is the enemy just like Geelong are and forcing them to trade for him would weaken them. Why on earth would we just roll over and give in? He is a top 5 player in the league and you think we should just accept pick 13-15 or whatever saying it is a ''win-win''? Far out, a mid 1st rounder is not a flowering 'win'. He is at least worth two top 10 picks and getting a mid 1st rounder in a weak draft is a load of shower.

I don't think the club would actually give a flower if it was perceived negatively around the AFL. When we lose immense talent all the time such as Danger, Gunston, Tippett, Davis and Bock, giving in and taking the compo is a terrible decision and the supporters will be furious, we're sick of it.

Forcing somebody to the trade table and demanding pick 6 for Jake Melksham are two very different things.

I'm an essendon fan and even I can admit that nobody lowballs like we do.

I made a solid offer for Pittard and you completely ignored it  :P

[H1bb3i2d]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Geelong won't be offering Paddy significant money anyway, will they? He's leaving for the 'home factor', he already wants to go there so he doesn't have to be bought, unlike guys like Henderson. Unless things have changed, I feel Adelaide could definitely match the offer if they wanted to.

They ultimately deserve a Judd-like trade, not some dodgey first round draft pick tied to their ladder position. And Danger certainly wound never have signed a long-term with the Dees anyway!
