When did you hear it?

If you are Bernie Vince, hi, and I think your excellent

Lol, I'm still giggling at this post.

Fwiw buying a house down the coast doesn't really mean much when it comes to picking a club. I have a house in the city and one in barwon heads. You can have both. If he bought one in WA or Qld that changes things.

Did i go to early with my choice of avatar?

Told u a few pages ago that u jinxed us!

Well done it's all your fault!

You're referring to "basketball reasons", one of the biggest disgraces in US sports history, and an absolute stain on Stern's legacy. All New Orleans were able to achieve with the trade with the Clippers was helping them become the worst team in the league and earn the #1 pick as mediocrity is death in the NBA. It was less about getting New Orleans good players (the Lakers were sending them all-stars Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom as part of the deal), but pandering to whining owners lamenting that the Lakers had been able to pull off another major deal just after the lockout ended. If that slop ever happened here I'd be filthy.

Importantly, NBA teams are privately owned. New Orleans at the time couldn't attract an owner, so the league was looking after them. Lakers coach Phil Jackson expressed concern over their conflict of interest 12 months before the nixed trade, to no avail. So it's a murky situation that is unlikely to be repeated.

Hang on a second, pants. Stern was rubbish and the ownership situation over there is pure evil but the fact remains that the Lakers were about to get another superstar and the NBA stepped in and made a decision that has rejuvenated Basketball on the West Coast and the NBA in general.

A good competition is predicated on the rise AND fall of teams from year to year.

The AFL has seen a couple rise of late but the other side of that coin is the fall of some clubs that won't fall if they continue to be allowed to recruit the best players.

It says we are 'yet to officially offer him a contract'. I was under the impression we can't officially offer anything until trade week anyway?

Your point is?

Here's the cheque book Paddy, you fill it in and well will do the paperwork later. That's not an official offer, It is a statement of intent.

My point is that that is an unnecessary observation.

Point taken. I agree.

We've spoken to Dangerfield and basically offered him an open check book.

Sadly, he just doesn't want to come to MFC.

The End

Paddy Pooper?

Why would Danger (apart from Vince and Goodwin factors whic is something but not as big as a lot make out to be) want to come to this basket case?

same as the rest of them $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Who are 'the rest of them'!! From recent experience players go to successful clubs for less/not much more money or poor clubs for more money. The only one that has come to us is Mitch Clark and that didn't work out too well.

heard of blokes named Judd Ablett and Franklin

To me if he wants out there are only three clubs that will be in any position to offer Adelaide what they would want.

St Kilda Pick 1 and most likely second round pick

Melbourne Pick 2 and second round pick or Pick 2 and Three(based on MFC getting this) and a swap of later picks for Danger and Crows first round pick

Western Bulldogs Pick 5 and 6(based on getting this pick for Higgins) and swap of picks later in the draft

All three clubs have the money, it would be just getting him to commit. Once he does any of these three clubs will be able to meet Adelaides needs

Pick 6 compo for Higgins? Good god.

Pick 6 compo for Higgins? Good god.

I reckon Bulldog supporters are saying pick 3 for Frawley Good God

I dare to say Bulldog supporters will be extremely upset if we get Pick 3 and they get a mid 20 pick or worse for Higgins. Ward V Scully still burns them

If we get Treloar I will flip out. One of my favourite players in the AFL. Absolute gun.

Younger than Danger too, and less susceptible to injury.

A bit different. Higgins has been a fringe player for them, Frawley is an AA KPP. Let them say what they like and lets see what deal is thrown up to Higgins.

I don't think even the most optimistic Dogs supporter thinks pick 6 is coming their way for Higgins. He;s been in and out of their side this year, and few are more injury prone than him. Meanwhile Frawley is a durable AA KPD in his prime.

Hahahahahah Higgins - has that guy ever been relevant?

Soft as butter, injury prone one-way runner with a career average of 18 possessions per game.

Pick 6

Higgins can't get a pick 6 for the Dogs. The decision is based on age, length of contract, and $ in contract. Higgins is a couple of years older than Chip and is likely to get a 3 year deal, 4 years max.....similar to Bernie Vince, for whom we got a 2nd round pick.

Giving Higgins four years would almost be as bad as drafting Lucas Cook.

Great fun! Can I join you NSC?

welcome mate. its a good spot actually as they seem to come in to the mouth of the creek even though its generally sanded over.

Let's not get carried away now

Dawes, Clark, Ablett, Scully, Buddy, Goddard, Thomas, Judd, Betts and numerous others left their clubs for money. Money talks.

Just about every player has a price.

Dangerfield would have his price.

Let's not get carried away now

Yes, maybe that was a touch over the top.

*It would be as bad as someone offering James Frawley seven years.

Again with the nonsense claim that Dangerfield is susceptible to injury, when it would take 15 seconds of research to learn that he's missed 6 games in 6 years.

Demonland is sometimes living proof that people are just wilfully ignorant.

Danger hasn't said a word about the speculation about coming to Melbourne so far
