Melbourne should offer Patrick Dangerfield a $10 million contract

[DemonOX 8,541]

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

Yup, learn from the success of the Salem/Tyson deal; 2 awesome players are better than 1 "star"

[Gorgoroth 12,337]

I'd take Danger in a heart beat, but for no more than 800k a year which is pretty much Mitch's money.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

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?

[ChaserJ 3,979]

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.

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

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.

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.

[Matt Demon 1,387]

What a ridiculous article.... This is something a 12 yearly old would post on Big Footy.

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.

[beelzebub 22,269]

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

[Maple Demon 449]

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.

[KingDingAling 3,614]

Dangerfield is great, but I'd much rather scoop the GWS talent pool.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Tom Scully was an absolute steal at $1M plus per year. And for over a half a decade too.

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

I would love him and he' worth the money.

But i that a culture you want to build? i say no

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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

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

[What 18,810]

Only 1 player is worth that coin, thats Ablett Jnr

Id offer Dangerfield 800k per year/ 5 years

Take it or leave it

[beelzebub 22,269]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 34,720]

He may come for much less if we keep improving.

Crawfs scenario is too risky

[rjay 23,970]

No
