[one-eyed]

Crows say they are willing to deal with any Victorian club who wants Patrick Dangerfield.

Ccc. Who will blink first, posturing   

IMESHO Dagerfield will get to Geelong

[Go Richo 12]

If a prospective  club offers a certain amount for a restricted free agent and it gets matched by the current club and a trade is forced; is the prospective club still obligated to pay the original offer or can it pay less after the trade is reached?

But as I said whack me if you feel the need 

Does that go for me as well?

Wouldnt mind getting rid of mcbean to the hawks as long as we get something decent

Have never wanted to lose McBean. We have two others who are exactly the same type of player who have a track record to judge em by. FFS keep McBean and actually develop the bloke properly, he is a kid still. Instead  offer up Vickery or Griffiths. No change that, both Dunstall and  Brereton would not touch Vickery with a barge pole offer them Griffiths instead.

Ahhhh hard calls inevitably the area this club fails in the most.

Lol get rid of McBean

I hope that was a typo. Then again he cant crack into this powerful side so he must be a dud.

[Simonator]

I'm not all that find of mcbean. Would get monstered by most kpd at afl level I reckon. Guess we haven't had the chance to find out though.

[JP Tiger]

Can we have a 'Dont trade the Bean' thread set up?  Stuff Whorerthorn, they can raid somebody else!

McBean is a leading forward with incredible agility for his height which gives him a unique ability to crumb his own ball and also has excellent footy smarts.....if used properly he won't be getting into many wrestling matches with opposition defenders.

I would say the defensive side (forward pressure and 2nd efforts etc) of McBean's game is what he needs to improve before our match committee will play him in the seniors. He's still only just turned 21 so there's plenty of scope for that improvement and development. No way would you trade a 21 y.o. 200cm mobile KPF who topped the goalkicking in the VFL.

Warren Tredrea on Adelaide radio today said Richmond are offering Hamish Hartlett $750k over 5 years while North are offering $700k for years.

I thought he was staying?

He's from SA so there's no go home factor here. I'd guess money and security talks if he were to quit Port. $750k p.a. is a lot of money and 5 years is a lengthy contract for someone who at this stage wouldn't be classed as an A-grader. After being pick 4 in the 2008 draft, he suffered a number of hamstring injuries in his first 4 years. He's played 22 games per year over the past 3 seasons though so at least his body seems to be holding up nowdays.

[Yeahright]

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.

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

End of story? Gee wiz, have your opinion but don't belittle everyone elses. I remember when Matty White was never leaving Richmond

Not sure how I've belittled anyone. I gave an opinion that is money won't talk here, it is not the over riding factor.

As for Matty White, belittle me on that one if you feel the need, but I know re Matty White exactly what happened, how it happened and all those involved. Repeat exactly; no grey, no opinions, no guessing just the facts, the details. And as I said many times before I will not betray a confidence ; a family confidence. You have an issue with that (still) then that's your issue not mine

But as I said whack me if you feel the need 

It's the use of "end of story" that is belittling. It's as if you're saying you are right and they are wrong no point arguing. Its a vain way of trying to end a debate. End of the day all your non grey, non opinionated facts turned out to be wrong and he left. Not sure what you mean about me having an issue?

Pretty sure from memory, WP said at the time that Matty White didn't want to leave Richmond which was true. It was the Club that was wrongly claiming Whitey wanted to go. As is fairly well known now, the Club only offered him a one-year deal on less money compared to Port's 3-years and so pragmatically Whitey took the far better and secure offer.

Thank you

So will repeat on the Matt White issue, my posts were not opinions, they were facts.
