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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
