Are you high?
I feel the same way - provided Geelong come to the party and give something approaching fair, I would rather him go there than anywhere else.
It would however get interesting if one of the other clubs suddenly threw danger 1 million a year and give us 3 players and two first rounders or something haha.
Well we can't trade him anywhere he doesn't accept as I understand it, but we can play hardball and make sure we get a fair deal or he goes to the draft. I don't care if that looks bad to his mates that are still playing for the Crows. Has to be done to send a message that we don't just bend over.
Port did it with Stevens. They took a hit on that and got zero compensation, but nobody tries to bluff them anymore. They get respect at the trade table and they deserve it.
We have to do the same.
