Interesting read by Crawf.

We would be mad not to have a go at Danger but all indications from him lately is that he wants to re-sign with the crows. (Notice how is said re-sign instead of resign???)

He has stated that money isn't a motivating factor but maybe the lure of Roos, Stone etc might be. U could also throw in B Vince too.

Nice of Crawf to remind us that we took Cale Morton at #4 while Danger went at #10.

IMO it's highly unlikely to happen but then again u never know.

    No. we shouldn't.

    It's not what we are about these days. 18 blokes with a role. 3 blokes to fill any gaps. One bloke looking [censored] off he is wearing the green.

    No tem million dollar men no matter how good they are.

    We should have a go but within our budget.

    I'd rather Travis boak and Tex walker

    I'd throw the dough at Jaegar O'Meara.

    He's doing an apprenticeship with the best midfielder in the game, is hard at it, and has sublime skills. He'll be the next top line midfielder IMO.

    In fact, is it not the case that we could've got him as an under age pick and chose not to?

    No one could trump Gold Coast's pick for the mini draft trade.

    Still dark on the AFL for allowing GC to even be a part of the bidding process.

    O'Meara and Martin in consecutive years had the Suns as the second biggest beneficiaries of the mini draft behind GWS.

    I like the sentiment but the reality is that Jones will ask for and get a very healthy wage, same with Tyson in a couple years.

    You get paid what you are worth and while you can't have too many Nik Nats running around taking 8% of the cap, Dangerfield is a difference maker. An excellent midfielder. He will command a wage that high soon enough.

    If Tex Walker walked, he's my pick. Huge presence, can play.

    Like Dangerfield, a 2015 free agent.

    I prefer to see us us develop the raw material we have rather than looking for a saviour .

    Trengove will come back better than ever and rag doll Dangerfield one day.

    I'd rather Jesse Hogan and James Frawley.

    This has been our downfall since Barassi.
    The messiah will come and all our problems will be fixed overnight.

    Paddy may not come to Melbourne believing that but I can guarantee it will just start that whole mindset up again.
    We are going to be creating our own stars from now on. It's about the team now. No more 'All we need to do is...' mentality for the MFC.

    The way of the Roos is to find undervalued talent and refine it. Dangerfield doesnt fit this mould

  • Quote

    Because everyone thinks Sydney did such a great deal with Buddy? Nobody thinks that'll work out in the long run. When a team throws so much money at a player it becomes about the individual rather than the team. That is not what we want or need. Roos is all about the team approach, thank goodness.

    As long as Dangerfield is going slower than a brisk walk, this is a chance of happening.

    Only 1 player is worth that coin, thats Ablett Jnr

    Id offer Dangerfield 800k per year/ 5 years

    Take it or leave it

    Thats either hopeful or speculative.

    Id be quietly waiting til he 1) gets back on the park 2) regains at least his early form at the club, let alone building upon it.

    Dangerfiled is all but 10 times more accomplished than Trenners to dat.

    Id take Dangerfield on a more realistic offer but I suggest again Im not suaded that this is the way Roos looks to build a side.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
