    Re: Dangerfield...?

    This notion that Dangerfield is just going to stroll into Geelong, unchallenged & in return for pick 15 or so, along with Adelaide's best wishes is pretty simplistic for mine. This is a billion dollar industry. Adelaide will almost certainly match the offer and require a trade. If that's the case, we're the next closest club to the surf coast and we have Talia plus a couple of other decent trade options available.

    We'd be silly not to enter the fray. Worst case scenario is he still goes to Geelong, but at least we make them earn him by giving something up. At present, the entire football public think that he's just going to take a Sunday stroll into Geelong. That, for me, is very, very naive.certain clubs need to show a bit of backbone and ambition - and we're one of them.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    If I were a crows fan right now I'd be hoping the club matched and got the best return possible

    Agreed.

    This really is massive for Geelong.They've got four quality KPP, Selwood, Dangerfield and a developing Caddy in the middle and Motlop running around the nucleus is right there for a finals tilt next year.

    I was surprised that the Crows used Michael Talia to officially announce that Dangerfield is leaving.

    I thought he may have commanded more. I would have thought $1 mill at least.

    Apparently he's the best informed bloke at Adelaide

    Apparently Geelong's philosophy is to try and keep the salaries for A graders all around the same. Selwood believed to be around that figure.

    Fair enough. Kudos to PD then, cos I'm sure he could get more if he made it his priority.

    I think the 6 years would get it over the line.

    It's bloody annoying that Geelong has one bad year, and then attracts Dangerfield and probably Selwood & Henderson, thus perhaps putting them back in contention.

    Sick of that club.

    I'm ok with it myself. Geelong hasn't been a contender since 2011 and have been topping up the last few years with players like Rivers, Macintosh, Stanley, Clark etc and they continue to fall away. There stars are all retiring and hardly any of their kids coming through look quality. I think they're just ensuring it takes them a decade to finally bottom out before starting to rebulid. It's effectivey death by a thousand cuts.

    Funny thing is the statement from Adelaide or Danger doesn't mention Geelong - just says Leaving to return to Victoria? Could there be a surprise club involved?
