What has that got to do with us and/or Dangerfield/Adelaide

I'd feel like a hypocrite for being so critical of the Sydney COLA to be honest. Surely Melbourne have enough room in the salary cap already?

why? This is exactly the type of assistance we need... The only reason its a big deal with Sydney, is because they have had resent premiership success and yet can still afford a player like buddy?

Personally, I want an even playing field with no advantages to any team.

So what's the criteria for mega-thread status?

The extrapolation above is based on a very small sample.

Look at the best 6 clubs and where their best 6 players come from.

36 players - I am interested myself - will look it up when I get home...

Not to get ahead of my data there but The Teenage Lottery Draft of the AFL still allows for great talent to slip through...

This is probably in the wrong thread but:

Haw - Picks 1, 2, 7, 12, 36, Rookie.

Syd - 5, 5, 30, Traded for 39, 40, Rookie

Fre - 4, 8, 19, 20, Rookie, Rookie

Gee - 3, 7, 17, 24, 40, (F/S)

NM - 2, 13, 23, 37, 43, 47

Port - 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13

7 of the 35 applicable were Top 5 selections.

13 of the 35 applicable were Top 10 selections.

20 of the 35 applicable were Top 20 selections.

The value is at the pointy end - if you can pick properly - you don't need to be right at the pointy end...

Paul Roos is a compulsive liar & I love it.

Who says we havent already?

It begins...

Who says we havent already?

I hope so...

Geez i hope its not 2 and 3. Not that he isnt worth it but would love to trade in another Tyson like deal as well

Danger + Tyson + Salem...

Our cause would be enhanced if the AFL announced it was considering scrapping FA compo as from next year.

No he's not. Vince, Goodwin, PJ and Mahoney have all spoken to Dangerfield numerous times and Roos has spoken to his manager and his entire extended family.

Sorry HH, I've got nothing. I have no sources, no inside connections and purely a moderate at best sense of humour.

Now you are pulling our legs.

Don't mess with my head, Goodvibes...

Which is it?

Baloney or you've got the inside word?

Jesus Christ...

The tease begins.

I'm waiting now for Roos to say he's 50/50 on us getting Dangerfield.

I thought I was being pretty clear. My initial post was clearly a poor attempt at humour. The quote attributed to Roos suggests that he hasn't personally spoken to Dangerfield. Having endured the Scully, Clark and Frawley sagas it's pretty clear all key footy people are now well versed in double-speak and deception. That's all I was suggesting. I've been on Demonland forever. I don't think I've ever had a source!

All these sudden articles and trading Danger, and now Roosy publicly declaring he wants him, and Danger refusing to comment when asked directly......

It's.... happening?!??

If this happens... beers at mine.
