He has publicly said he wants to return to Vic one day, Neil Craig was somewhat of a mentor/father figure to him In Adelaide. I say we have a crack at him? Quality player...

    He would provide good tackling training.

    I'm sure he signed on for another 3 years???

    I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure he's got a year left on his contract.

    contracts mean nothing in this day and age. if we've got the cash. get him. he's a gamebreaker.

    Contracted until end of 2012.

    Disagree, he is a vanilla midfielder who averages less than 17 disposals per game, and looks flashy at times,

    In saying this he has potential and i would take him at the right price, no more than a mid first rounder, nothing lower than 10

    Exactly, he has the body already growing, he has the endeavor already exhibited, and he has the X factor with his power run - take it on mentality.

    About 6' 2" I think?

    Handy burst through type Mid.

    I believe you are correct.And like all posts already state- a great advantage having Craig available to grab him next year.

    Kid's a born leader.

    If he wants to come home, go and get him.

    I like the way he plays, but I would want them to do some major medical testing first. He's had an alarming number of concussions for such a young player and they are known to have a cumulative effect. He stands a very good chance of being forced into early retirement if a decent medical staff get their hands on him.

    You can trade with 1 Yr of contract? Yes?

    Who have we got surplus, that they need?

    And I'm sure you're the kind of supporter who rates everyone on our list and thinks that they all have the potential to become

    'stars'.

    Dangerfield is better than 3/4's of our list when fully fit and uninjured.

    Sorry to upset you Dangerfield is half Judd half Chuck Norris, feeling better now?

    I actually said he can play, just isnt a "Game breaker" and in my opinion effect games often enough,

    He has speed, and goes reasonable hard ta the ball, but 17 possessions a game from a soon to be 22 year old doesnt seem enough from a player who people such as yourself laud all the time

    similar player to col sylvya i reckon....

    Would take him every day of the week if a reasonable trade was arranged.

    17 possessions is not huge, but the way he attacks the ball and could possibly break open games, I can see the promise.

    I know promise is not everything but I think he has more upside than many on our list.

    I agree with you, but @ 22, he has the guns to go. He looks to have the desire & wherewithall.

    His stats are a little inferior to Boaks but is Younger. Gaff has good stats.

    Has not really stepped up to be a true midfielder, but is anything but vanilla.

    I'd grab him if we could (although unlikely) because he really has the potential to be a game breaking midfielder. Just has raw power, which is priceless as the game becomes more congested.

  • Quote

    Don't know how much credibility Jack Watts has in his naked body suit, but he did say he spoke to Dangerfield today about Neil Craig and 'he's very excited'.

    Got to be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off Trengove. Wow, he owned the [censored] out of that stage, and those (albeit fake) tatts really done it for me! :P

    Wonder if Dangerfield was "very excited" for Craig, or excited at the prospect of possibly being coached by him again?....

    Chase him HARD at the end of 2012. I see him as a Dustin Martin with a softer head.

    Yes he is far from Vanilla, although i dont think he is a "game breaker"

    Wouldnt be against trading for him because he is very good, or will be. I just dont go for all his hype

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
