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

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
