The Patrick Dangerfield Thread

[Trengove the Magnifique 9 23]

My love for trengove has increased exponentially, he was that funny tonight. Anyone see it?

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.

Dangerfield would be a get...

But Sloane would be a star!

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

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

Daniel Bell #2 ?????

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!)

Wish they timed it. would love to compare.

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

[Striker475 696]

I'm worried about his concussion issues to be honest, seems to happen an awful lot for a 21yr old

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.

[JT9 104]

Trengove would love training even more

[The Great One 99 125]

Happy to bring Dangerfield home for one of our 1st round picks. I think they took Scott Thompson off us for pick 12. That sounds fair to me.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,299]

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.
