On the bright side, we have 350 days to think of new fish puns.

Oh god, this thread is gonna turn into another banana discussion for the next 360 days.

You'd think we will probably throw a figure close to $5m at him over 5 years. Something along those lines. Whether he wants to flush his chances of a flag down the toilet for a few extra bucks remains to be seen. I hope he does, but suspect he won't. Watch him go to Geelong.

If Boyd is worth $1m a year for 6 yrs what s Dangerfield worth??

Hes not the only fish.

Lets see what the ocean dishes up.

Would have been good to land but we didnt.

With the bizarre trading of picks (alliance?) between Adelaide and Geelong, i wouldn't be surprised if Dangerfield left as a FA to the Cattery next year, and there has been some sort of verbal agreement or something arranged around now.
Call me a conspiracvy theorist, or crazy, but just my thoughts. And at least i'm open and honest about them and they aren't in riddle form.

I'm keeping him.

It's just amazing that the dogs can offer up that sort of coin for a bloke who's played a total of nine games.

These types of deals aren't new though, are they. We've had first hand experience with Scully and how has that panned out?

Boyd is a risk at $1M whereas Danger will deliver.

If Danger is going to move next season the club and all other clubs will know by the start of the new season, the general public will know once the old "I'm putting my contract talks off to the end of season" gets trotted out

Based on the thread/comments from GNF about how close we were to securing Dangerfield in a trade, could we have a Buddy Franklin to Sydney style commitment from Danger to come to us as a free agent next year?

Draft two midfielders at 2 and 3 who genuinely excite the football world, get close to making the 8, throw an empty check book at Danger + all the trimmings and Danger is a dee in 2016.

The only chance we have of getting Danger next year, or any other decent FA for that matter, is to dramatically improve on the field.

Money isn't the only motivator for great players, success is as big a lure as anything.

Show Danger that we're going places, and I'm sure he'll jump at the opportunity to earn $8mil in 7 seasons.

If he agreed to the trade and contract Melbourne offered as GNF said, then we must be in the box seat to get him next year.

Adelaide must be confident on changing his mind, or they've just totally screwed themselves.

Lol, love the change of the thread title. It's gonna be a long year.

Doesn't look like it.

Set to be overlooked for the captaincy as Van Berlo is replaced. How many have left them now Davis, Tippet......

Would love to know what Geelong are offering or could Hawks use the Buddy money?

Tex Walker when Rory Sloane is also available? Strange. Guess he hasn't signed yet either.

Can we have both Sloane and Dangerfield please?

Yeah but the diff is its not a Melb player who is being speculated about so we can sit back and enjoy the entertainment and all the bs that comes with it.

Exactly, the precedent is set.

Makes sense.

I don't understand what you are saying but I like it

Yep pat yourself on the back, or you can use your pink selfie stick

Geelong are definitely the front runners in the race to sign Danger. He met up with Chris Scott for a 2 hour long chat on the 2nd Jan at Skilled.

That would make it a 50/50 chance between Geelong and North, wouldn't it?

Thank you everyone, you've been a great audience, try the beef I hear it's great, and don't forget to tip your waiters.
