Farout!!! They can get [censored]!! If they make this trade!!

A part of me doubts that we were actually chasing him at all with the lack of leaks that have come from the Roos camp, about any of our trades. It does seems strange how this rumour took off? Looks and smells like a bit of misdirection to me. I'm thinking we were were fuelling the fire a bit here. Picks 2 - 3 is way overs for Dangerfield and just doesn't really sound like a Roos type of trade. We were using the Danger field hype to display our high picks for the real buyers ...lol...

I think that was our former recruiting strategy...lol

I'd be happier if we swapped Sam Reid for Luke Parker...

i don't think we have to choose... Dangerfield is a proven A grade player, but giving up picks 2 and 3 is way overs and I doubt it's the kind of trade Roos would make... It just doesn't make sense?

Ummm... it can't be a rumour that they are funding GC new coach, because they have been paying for everything anyway? The AFL not funding GC new coach would be a rumour....

Lol... I was wondering where I was going wrong there... Cheers...

Frawley's quick development is probably more to do with the performance of our team, rather than our player development... Practice makes perfect I suppose...We've known for a while that he was leaving and I'm expecting this type of poaching to continue and probably get worst... Who knows who's next... Has Jones signed yet?

They will never scrap it.. The consistent rule changes create confusion, which makes the game harder to follow and easier to manipulate;) This includes the sub rule...

Oops... Lol... The statement is a prehensive strike, justifying the price they are paying... I could be wrong, but to me this looks like a calculated raid and I doubt they'd make blundered media statements... Unlike me..lol..

why would they want to stop something they've been planning for years, this is how Collingwood roll.. They pretend they want to keep a good player, then force an over priced deal through... They will get more than pick 4 for Beams when he's hardly setting the world on fire on field, I can't remember the last time he actually played a decent match? Did he even play this year... They act like their losing Gary Ablett, when he's not even close to Ablett... Pfft...

Actually I think Geelong have been planning this raid for a while, it's not a coincidence that Frawley might go there as well... The fact that they made this statement, makes me believe the deal is done.... This statement is to prepare their supporters, they are justifying what they have agreed to pay... Prehilncive(Prehensive..lol..) strike... Statements like this give me confidence that they are prepared to pay...

Lol... Umm... Maybe you should re-read some of the Watts, Morton, Toumpas and Trengove threads.... This is not a new thing?

Pfft... After the sook that Swan just had about the compensation we might receive for Frawley, they would be lucky to get our fourth rounder... Stuff them!!

Either one would be a good get and if Mcartin is considered the best, then why wouldn't we be rapted to grab him at two? He's rated that highly for a reason, Mcartin and Hogan would be a pretty solid forward pare... It would be awesome to have Dangerfield come to us and I'd be rapted if it actually happens, what ever we give up.... Though it would be very risky to use picks 2 and 3 on him, especially if he gets an injury like Clark... Taking one of Petracca or Mcartin at two and trading three for Parker and pick 17 or Greenwood, Atley and pick 16, would be far less risky...

Does that mean Gary Ablett Jnr is on the table? I'd part with all our Picks and salary cap space for this guy!!!

I'd be worried if he were still at collingwood.... But he isn't... Phew...lol.. We didn't make the rules on compensation for free agents and we definitely didn't develop Frawley for a top draft pick... We've been rejected a deserving PP two years in a row by the AFL and now Swan wants to delute our Frawley compensation? He's kidding right?

This is what I'd be pushing for...

Why would you bother though?

If Dangerfield doesn't want to leave the Crows then we should inquire about Luke Parker, he seemed to improve this season and is still young... Also.. Wouldn't hurt to look in to a Greenwood/Atley trade... Parker and pick 18 for pick 2 Greenwood, Atley and pick 16 for pick 3

Other clubs or Eddie?

When was the last time we wanted one too...lol..

26 is a lot younger than I was thinking, he could be around for a few years... This could be a good trade for us...

Ummm... Did you actually watch there last few matches? I'd say Norths midfield talent is thriving because of Greenwood... North throw him in the middle so they could release Ziebell forward and he dominated the clearances... He completely changed Norths game... Before they moved him there nobody gave North a chance of winning the the elimination final, let alone the semi... If the form he is in becomes consistent, then he is one of there best mids easily... I'd give up pick 3 for Greenwood, Atley and 16

Would geelong trade Vardy?
