What gets me is Caro. Firstly she says that Richmond don't trade their first pick as it is too valuable. The next thing she says is we will trade Lennon for Yarran. That's even worse!!!!! Lennon WAS OUR FIRST PICK CARO!!!! And we put 2 years into him!!!!! I would have rather traded the pick 2 years ago for someone we would have in our team now rather than waste two years on developing someone only to see them leave 2 years later.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

still waiting for the mainstream media, any mainstream media (ie any of the papers) to actually come out and report that lennon wants out or that he is unhappy with his offer...
so far all that's occurred has been the scoop maclure on 3aw which in turn has been picked up by caro who obviously is on 3aw.....

whereas any other rumour of player wanting to go elsewhere has been reported in the newspapers....
obviously there's no leg to the lennon thing or else someone, surely someone would write about it....
not even caro is getting any of her age writers to run the story....

The leg is the fact that he hasn't re signed yet!
If he just puts pen to paper all the rumors and innuendo go away...

Clearly the tigers are circling for another mid with crouch huge :gobdrop drop from the likes of trelaor,danger,hartlett,bennel,yarran.... look he is an ok player but really we have to many of those ok players on our list do we need to add another one here.
get yarran,Bennel and one more player ready to go and u know what 3 players like this could make a uge difference I find it funny that we were reported to offer hartlett 750K hang on isn't Geelong offer 800k for danger gee whizz boys find an extra 100 and go in for danger offer him 850

But it' not about $$$ with Dangerfield. He wants to be near family

We or any other club could offer a million + a year and he'd still want to go to Geelong. His manager said months ago on the wireless and in the papers, it was only ever between the Crows and Geelong

Better to concentrate on things you have show in not what you don't

Money talks.

Would still be offering Dangerfield $900-1.2mil/year for 5 years.

Surely he can live an extra hour or two from his family for $200k/year.

I think he actually wants to live IN moggs. Would be hard playing for a melbourne based club driving 4+ hours every day.

In this case IMHO money wont talk, he wants to go to Geelong. End of story

I still think the club needs to relocate to wherever Dangerfield wants to live

Here's the thing. Similar to the Treloar situation, the deal isnt done. If Adelaide match the Geel offer as we all expect a trade is forced. Geelong will have to give up a lot for him. Talks break down, we tap Adel on the shoulder with "hey, 2 first rounders and Lennon?" and offer Dange close to the mill mark, surely all parties consider that. I know he said he "wants to be with family" but surely the premiership dream is still a major factor. Sell that, and we'd have to be a chance!

Actually here's the thing, Adelaide are prepared to get him to where he wants to go, the deal will get done

Also, Dangerfield has to agree to any trade, he doesn't want to go to another club so he wont, that's the thing  ;D
