Huge play being made by dees for danger. Source trade rumours facebook. ;)

I was so excited until I read the last 4 words :ph34r:

Bloke at work is convinced the deal's been done with Geelong for Menzel and Mackie.

Because they're both from SA?

He has NFI.

'Bloke at work' is a moron.

Mackie is considering retirement, best case scenario is one more year, and as if Geelong would give up Menzel now that he's finally got himself right after 4 years on the sidelines.

Good player with one year left in his career combined with the most injury prone (albeit very talented) player in the game doesn't get you one of the top 5 players in the comp.

LOL because Adelaide are opening a retirement/rehab centre?

Never mind the fact that Geelong can have him for free

yes but crows can match the offer and force a trade ...

he will then be on x amount of years at x amount of dollars at the crows.

the only way will be a trade , so look at it this way

melbourne offer a trade of pick 5 ( whatever our first pick is) and player , agreeing to pay whatever is on offer from geelong ( or more) , so crows match it knowing they will get a better pick from us

or he stays at crows , Crows hold all the cards as a RFA , the only way I see otherwise if he gets a monster deal which the crows can't match

could another be Veale ( name ?) deal .....

Nobody has matched a rival club's RFA offer and I doubt Adelaide will be able to pay him anywhere near what Geelong/whoever will offer.

Posted

yes true But wasn't there a article about geelong paying 1.2 for 2 years the 400k for next two so it would be 800 per year average and be the max Geelong would pay

as Crows couldn't match the 1.2 but can match the 800k

I do agree with you that its unlikely but that option is there and a smart club could pull it off if needed, food for thought

He will sign with Adelaide and I'll actually be happy about that. I like to see stars remain loyal to their club.

Yeah and means Geelong wont get him for free! God that would [censored] me off if they landed him

If I were a recruiter, I wouldn't be keen to trade for a defender who has seen his best years, and a guy who has had FOUR knee reconstructions.

Nek minnit, 'bloke at work' is Damien Barrett.

doesn't make sense

if they trade then not a fa deal then no fa compo

either scenario they get a first rounder

and.....danger would have to agree

trade seems highly unlikely

Spoke to Brendan McCarthy today while he was shopping in Geelong. Known him a while now.

Two things stuck out from our chat.

He thinks the Dees are 18 months off where the Doggies are at.

When I mentioned Dangerfield. He smiled and said "We're certainly having a crack!".

So why did we beat them convincingly in pre season and again 14 weeks ago.

More arse cake expectation management.

Just win you time serving parasites.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
