Dangerfield

I believe there may have been a thread on him a few weeks ago...

Unless I'm mistaken, I think there's some truth to the fact he wants to come (home?) to Melbourne (the city).

People were talking about what it'd take, what they'd give...

I reckon I'd go pretty close to trading pick 2 in a straight swap. I love this kid.

It sounds outrageous, but I reckon pick 2 would be Morabito, Trengove, Butcher, Rohan... and I like Patrick more than any of those names, with Trengove probably not being too far off, as he's an out-and-out mid. Granted, they're all much more unknown and could turn out to be better, even superstars. But then they could turn out to be worse. Dangerfield has also proven much. Including playing well so far in tonight's final.

I may be overstating, and MFC would almost certainly not be interested in it. What are peoples' thoughts? Rate Dangerfield.

 

If I was him, I wouldn't want to be leaving Adelaide at the moment.

But it would have to be considered, he is a superb prospect. Watching the TV right now, very impressive game so far. Kicked 2 goals.

I would rather pick 2.

But he is a good player. Be wary of any injuries he has had. Back?

If we could get Dangerfield for pick 2 it would be our steal of this century.


you'd rather pick 2 than dangerfield?? you guys serious

he is strong, quick, big for a midfielder, would fit into our scheme of things beautifully, and for only pick 2... adelaide wouldnt do it though

Exactly, far out you would have to be crazy not to swap pick 2 for him.

Missed a couple of goals.

Not worth pick 18...

pick TWO for Dangerfield............... NO

I was there and would do #2 for him in a heartbeat. What are the odds we'd get a guy that good with a number two pick even in the best years?


Very dodgey kick for goal and its premature and reckless to contemplate offering pick #2 for him.

Good player but we dont need him.

10 to 1

He is a rare type and would be worth pick 2 without doubt.

Exactly. I reckon it's amazing. He's more than earned his place in two finals now, and he's not even out of his teens. We have a number of players in roughly the same range in terms of age, who haven't even proven it in H&A, LET ALONE a finals series. We'd basically be getting a sure thing.

My only concern is that even if Trengove is the kind of player that only flirts with superstardom, he will be a genuine lifetime midfielder. And a really, really good midfielder beats an amazing forward any day of the week. That's why we see the Davis', Didaks and Davey's of this world drift into the midfield, where their genius can mean more to the result of a game. My question with Dangerfield is, will he make his name as a goal-kicker, or a genuine mid? If he plays mostly out of the guts, then yes, pick #2 is probably a good risk. And I think even Adelaides' recruiters' ears would [censored] up at the suggestion of trading pick 2 for him. Trengove is a S.A. boy, and I'm sure they've been watching him closely.

If we regard the deal as a bit one-sided their way, perhaps Dangerfield and pick #13 for our pick #2... Pipe dreams? Is the draft too skinny?

You know we just came 16th, right?

Rate Dangerfield.

I rate him highly and the Adelaide supporters are in love with the kid. It's sort of funny that having pick 2 could also be a handicap. Is he worth #2? Not sure but maybe not. Pick 5/6/7/8 definately. Maybe to get him we might have to trade away a good player to get a top 10 pick. Would Sydney like Mclean for their first round pick? - he might just suit the SCG? Would Adelaide then take that and (maybe) 18 or (maybe) 34 for Dangermouse? In a perfect world I would love us to somehow get 1,2 and a gun kid but I just don't see it happening unless Dangermouse has pretty much told the Cows that he is going home come hell or highwater and he is happy to go in the PSD. Still it's nice to dream at this time of year.

Disclaimer: I love Brock and think he is a great clubman but I'm pretending that I have the cold, hard job of working this stuff out. I'm glad I will never have to do it in real life.

Bravo. Too often you see posters come on and call for this player or that to be traded, which causes dissent, which in turn calls for the original poster to have to appear to be backpedalling.

Calling for a Brock trade is no insult to the man. You have ot trade something to get something, and he'd be one of very few players with market value on the list. It doesn't mean he's damaged goods. Not at all. It also speaks volumes for the value of Dangerfield, that we bring up Brock's name.


Yeh I was at the game, everything about him spells pure gun. Great smarts, really strong through the hips I reckon. Pick 2? Maybe, maybe not....I'd probably keep pick 2 in a toss of the coin.

Yes, he is a midfielder. He's big and strong for the middle, but has the speed and agility to dominate in the guts. Did you see him right before the siren last night? He very nearly got the ball out on his own. That effort really sold me on him. He will be a star sooner or later.

lol, pick 2 for dangerfield. now i've heard it all!..late first round selection at best

 
dave mackay is better than dangerfield. pure silk

Mackay is a mad Demons fan,said he grew up going to all theyre games with his parents as they were big Dee fans,cried the day the Crows beat us in the 2002 finals.Would love to get him home to Melbourne 1 day as its always good to have someone that would bleed for your club

lol, pick 2 for dangerfield. now i've heard it all!..late first round selection at best

Pardon the pun but I think Dangerfield could turn out a freak. He shows the maturity of a 5 year player. WOW- when he gets fit with the stamina to run out 120 minutes of football as a true midfielder. He will become a freak in my opinion. I would have him as our Selection 2. An already proven performer with great upside against an unproven.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
