In this case, it may be West who are making the play on Dan (in particular).
We talk about it just being "only the money", but in the case of Daniel, like Gibbs, he is fresh out of the AFL system and it isnt easy to find a job without any experience in any trade or profession.
Maybe we dont have to feel sorry for their plight, but its a reality that to suddenly find yourself at 30yo and unemployed with no likely prospects, its no wonder they are looking to get the best deal they can.
And often it isnt the money, but the role they want (as with Gibbs and the Development Role he has taken).
Rest assured though, the Dogs WANT Dan to play and are working very hard to make things fit.
It's interesting that at Centrals we have seemed to really struggle in recent years with finding players decent jobs. Throughout the 2000's this didn't seem to be an issue.
Our "Cash" are no longer with us.
EFA?

Have Holden gone as major sponsor, surely they have. This may throw in some new issues.

Agreed! Maybe not quite as strong as 2000-10 when we were accused of ruining the comp by being too strong....
Sorry ... couldn’t resist that!

The (West Torrens) Woodville Pizza Bar... under the counter
Not even close, WDCC are 'sponsored' by the pizza bar though.

I would be surprised if the Eagles had initiated any approach to the Menzels, that name has not been mentioned. They may have made the approach
to the Eagles but I think it is an unlikely outcome. Happy to be proven wrong.

Menzels to Woodville West Torrens?
Given both boys history, surely they are both now odds on to get Covid!

I said it before but it does seem like Centrals are imploding and trying to get a favorite son back to steer the ship. I can see this potentially being devastating from them.I hope not but it certainly smells IMO.
