Just don't see how you can play him, Smith and Hill together. Hartung is very much a wingman, and can't really play anywhere else.

We're apparently pushing Walker out the door, so unlikely we'd be getting rid of Vardy on top of that.
Was just a suggestion, would be unlikely if Walker does go to Carlton anyway.

You're thinking of Hill maybe. Hartung plays a lot more centrally, he's pretty evasive and has good vision which allows him to play all around the ground.
1st rd 2016 and it's a deal

No chance Vardy!!!. He's the one to provide the spark.
No, I'm thinking of Hartung.

Well of the 3, Hill is the only one-position player, Smith doesn't mind the contested stuff and Hartung plays more like an outside rover. Hill's your pure wingman at this stage, although I'm sure he could hold down half-forward if asked.
The current posturing is getting ridiculous and shows up the farce that is our current FA system.
I have a growing wish to see Dangerfield go to the draft, just to force the AFL to put an end to this crap once and for all.

Geelong and Patrick have more to lose than Adelaide do. If they don't get a decent trade, then all they're losing is a first rounder who may or may not be any good.
Hill to the dockers for their first rounder which you can use on Danger?

Maybe. Dangerfield should go to a club who are going to have imminent success though. If he could end up at Richmond he'll be worth every penny, not sure about Geelong.
I would think that if its 2 1st rounders then there won't be a contracted player being traded also

If getting their first rounder would get it done then it would be worth it. But I wouldn't want to be stuck with Freo's first rounder for Hill if it wasn't a sure thing.
I've seen that argument before and don't buy it.
To lose something, you must first have it.
What we have to "lose" is the chance - and only the chance - to get a great player.
It is only Dangerfield's reported desire to move close to family that makes Geelong's chance any greater than a bunch of other clubs.
This accident of geography is a hope and a dream, but nothing more substantial than that.
If he goes somewhere else, then the sun still rises in Geelong. The supporters already banking on it will eventually get over it. The club will invest it's draft picks in promising youth and we go on from there.
Of course they would. So would other teams. Probably offer more too. But why would a club pursue a player who is adamant he won't sign with them.

You don't buy what? Danger has said he's gone. Therefore crows have already lost him. What we have to lose if he goes to the draft is the compo pick.
Geelong are the preferred destination, they have him if they trade for him. They lose him if he goes to the draft.
Fagan confirmed on 5AA that Danger will go to Geelong and ONLY Geelong

In 5 years time, Geelong supporters will be crying being on the bottom of the ladder with no up and coming first rounders and Danger being the only decent player on the list.
Yeah like we were gonna be crying after 2010. Clueless.

This is complete BS. I highly doubt many if any Geelong recruiters has an IQ above 145! So in terms of intelligence I think i'll take that mantle. Your arrogance in trying to belittle other posters... It's delusional.
Dangerfield is 25 not 28. He is worth more than Treloar, but in terms of a trade Adelaide will request it will be equal, maybe less.
I never mentioned the Judd trade. I think you have your Judd coloured glasses on! You need to go back and check history. Judd trade involved 2 draft picks (3 & 20) and Kennedy. I said Adelaide need to target 2 picks. One between 6-10 and another between 11-15. Meaning Geelong just need to find a pick between 11-15 to get it done.
What odds do you have to prove a 29 year old player is not effective? For every Judd who falls off a cliff you have Hodge who is an evergreen.
Nice try, but don't try warrior. I get paid on a daily basis to argue against idiots.
caro also said its a going to be the one of the biggest trades in afl history i dunno i hope this dosnt drag on been dragging on for over a year already haha
