Traded Patrick Dangerfield [traded w/ pick 50 to Geelong for 9, 28 and Gore]

[Suma Magic]

So, you match money and Geelong and Adelaide try find a deal? Ok. Wasn't entirely sure. If a deal can't be done he can just walk though, right?

It's the same as a trade.

If Cats can't please the Crows Danger can enter the draft, or choose to sit out of the game for a year.

 

[Kavliaris69]

Danger has not stated that he wants to go to Geelong but home to Victoria.

This leaved the question on him saying now is not the right time to talk about his preferred destination. Although I believe he will go to Gee110ng, there may also be the small possibility that he may go to Hawks or Kangas even. I don't think he would want to create a huge media circus for these clubs on the eve of a PF so maybe that is his reason. If Hawks and Kangas lost this week, be prepared for more news next week. Footy is a funny game.

Until then we just have to stay tuned and wait.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yep, he'd be silly to publicly name a club.

 

[Furn2]

Danger is not ever going to sit out a year, if he goes in the draft and gets picked up by a Melbourne team not only will he play but he'll most likely spend the rest of his career there.

After sleeping on it for a night, I don't think giving up pick 9 this year and pick 18 next year is that bad a deal really.

The only way he'd get to Hawks is if you retire a string of players, including Lake.

Is Dangerfield actually even allowed to name a team? Or does he have to officially wait for the Free Agency period to Start?

 

[Mego Red]

So it's OK for you campaigners to go banging on about the Cats but when the shoe is on the other foot? Your defence has routinely been smashed this year; the end.

I don't think it is necessarily us banging on about the cats. Most supporters think you'll go backwards, but footy supporters are often wrong and you're adding elite talent.

For the most part our defense has been fine (hence finishing sixth). We are a talented tall short, plus one more rebounding mid sized defender. But we should be able to build that.

Given he's a RFA at this point, I suspect he can't name a team.

If he was requesting a trade, and was still under contract, I think he is allowed to do so.

To the Crows or publicly? I'm sure he's let them know.

 

[MC_9]

Publicly. Is there any sort of anti tampering rules, with regard to Free Agency?

 

[Catfish Alley]

Not sure. I can't see what he'd get from announcing it publicly.

 

[MC_9]

Not sure. I can't see what he'd get from announcing it publicly.

I can't see what benefit he would get from not announcing it.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I can't see what benefit he would get from not announcing it.

Better to be cautious and let clubs deal it out I imagine.

But how are you going to trade for Fremantle's future first rounder???

 

[MC_9]

If he was requesting a trade, and was still under contract, I think he is allowed to do so.

That may be the case, and could explain his silence on the team (Geelong).

 

[Hardhat11]

No, what you said certainly sounds stupid.

Why is 29-30 treated as some magical "Best By" date?

Remind me how old Priddis is again, with his first Brownlow last year and first AA selection this year? Priddis, Mitchell, and Mundy are all in the top 6 for Brownlow expectations, and they're all 30+. Boomer has turned in his best years after the age of 30.

You really want to tell me how Danger, who probably has a better physical acumen than all of them, will be stuffed at 29?

Partly because of the way he plays

Once he loses his pace akin to Judd he won't be as effective

Not while that team is still playing finals.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Never would have picked him going to North.

 

[Tedeski]

Dangerfield will be a Hawk!

 

[MC_9]

Never would have picked him going to North.

Well they did pick up Higgins, Waite and Dal Santo in the last 2 years. #DestinationClub

Must wait until FA period starts. October 9, I believe.

Beams wanted to be near his Dad in Qld when when the surface was scratched that meant only one of the Qld clubs. Dangerfield is playing the same bullshit game. It was alwaysGeelong

 

[MotleyLemon]

A mate just floated this to me.

Could Mackie be part of the trade? SA boy, recently re-signed for 2 years, which is very rare for us to do for a bloke who is 30. Then we re-sign the previously "definitely retiring" Enright for a year...

Back a few posts I see a Crows fan saying this:

For the most part our defense has been fine (hence finishing sixth). We are a talented tall short, plus one more rebounding mid sized defender. But we should be able to build that.

Hmmmmmm.

 

[Milanista28]

Is there any truth to Essendon offering 1.1 million a season to Danger? Now he wouldn't want to go to Essendon IMO and fair enough but if that's true would he accept 800k from Geelong as it's been mentioned?

He deserves 1 Million plus IMO.
