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.

Daniel Bell #2 ?????

Certainly has a bad injury record at the G ! I have only seen him live twice, and didn't finish either game.

Precisely. Repeated blows to the head of that magnitude can lead to serious damage to the brain. The NFL have a research center dedicated to this issue, but in the AFl they don't really acknowledge the severity of the problem, despite their soft high contact rules. I maintain that Dangerfield is showing early signs of CTE which would explain why he is so easy to knock out. Personally, I think this should have been raised in the Trengove case earlier this year. The AFL need to step in and insist that he undergo extensive brainscans before allowing him to keep playing.

How fast was Dangerfield today in the Half Time Sprint?

Extremely dangerous and exciting, just needs to get more of the ball. (as do a few of our players, so maybe he would fit in well!)

In terms of a trade I heard on SEN a few months ago that Adelaide were very keen on Jamar.

I'm not sure of Martin as a tap ruckman at bounces, etc and Gawn needs at least another couple years to grow, so jamar is obviously vital to our centre line structure.

Who else on our list (besides trenners & tappy) are from Sth Aust?

Who says Gawn needs a couple of years, only the FD department will know this, Kreuzer played from age 18-19 so no reason Gawn cant from 20-21 or so, is huge and if he puts on 5kgs more will be even more impressive, even though he will need to be 115kg's at peak

He would be good as a 50/50 prospect with Martin, what happens in 2 years when all 3 deserve a game in our 23? somebody needs to go at some point imo, and Jamar has value now, Gawn and Martin will in 2 years, a decision needs to be made imo or we may lose one for very little

Also dont see a 28 yo ruckman in Adelaides rebuild tbh

Rivers, Jamar and McNamara and you could also include Jack Viney

Rory's a ripper, but how do you get him???

Dangerfield is a Bellarine lad, & I think would like to come home to Vic.

Pick 12 for Sloane or Dangerfield. Dunn. Maric could be included. Bate may persist with.

Both compo picks to get Gaff at end of 2012 or Pendlebury. He will also be a target at end of 2012.

Yep we owe them one for Thompson but I won't hold my breath at this stage. Also huge laugh's to those who think any other club would do us the favour of taking Bate, Dunn or Maric of us for anything better than a late 3rd round pick. Would you accept pick 12 and 2 or 3 borderline duds for Trengove or even Sylvia or Jones?

Well that's just silly -- we already have pick 12.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
