the story i've always heard with danger was that it was a choice btw adelaide (incumbent), geelong (home), and hawthorn (best team, who can also pay him more than the others).

the reason why the latter was told to me that they were more than just in the running is that in 2015 alone they have $600k salary cap space, and hodge and mitchell have both taken massive pay cuts to play on for one more year in 2016, freeing up around $1m in cap space, plus lake is out of contract at the end of 2015 and no guarantee to play on - although i'd personally say that given chip's injuries and form, hawks need him to play on.

Could be time to re open this.. Found this on Bigfooty

Found this interesting in Robbo's Tackle column:

2. Patrick Dangerfield: Absolutely think he’s gone, although the Crows remain confident. Still, think it’s the Cats for him, although the Demons talk won’t go away. Anyhow, the guy gives his all and his performance against Richmond was one of his best.

Pftt Dangerfield to Melbourne?? Pipedreams and smokesceens! Move on!

Posted (edited)

Bring him home!

What, to Moggs Creek? If he had any thought of coming to us, he would have done it last year and allowed the Crows to get maximum compensation.

I wonder how big having Simon Goodwin would be to luring him to the Dees?

Imagine if we go Dangerfield as a FA and Motlop for our first round pick. Suddenly we are a finals side.

Tongue in cheek. Don't think we'll get Dangerfield, although I bloody hope the Cats don't either.

We would be a reasonably attractive option for him. We can pay him the biggest contract, we have a good young list with the best key forward in the game and we are based in Victoria.

Don't we also have the better midfielder than Dangerfield

voted by D'Landers 4 years ago.

You may remember the name "Trengove"

Without having any numbers to back this up we clearly have a much higher amount of money to put infront of him than the cats and let's be honest we are on the up and they are a shadow of what they were.

Just thinking about the Danger to Dees scenario.

Actually wouldn’t be a bad option for him.

He’d get serious money. At least 1.0 – 1.2 million a year. Maybe a 6 – 7 million over 5 year deal.

Cash will be freed up so I would say there would be some serious front loading to assist us keeping Hulk, Viney, Gus etc later on.

Got a great young midfield to teach (Viney, Brayshaw, Patracca, Tyson, Stretch, , Neal-Bullen, Newton?...maybe)

Got some experience in there as well (Jones, Cross, Trengove… if he’s right). He wouldn’t have to play in and under as much as we have grunt but not enough polish. Good for his body as it’s taken a battering.

He’s only 25. Give him 5 years, takes him to 30.

Would have some connections to the Crows (Goodwin, Vince)

Deliver it lace out to the Hulk. Who wouldn't want to do that!?

Can go forward and work with Garlett, Neal-Bullen, JKH as a small forward.

I would say our list is in a better position than Geelong & Adelaide's in the next 5 years as we have done a lot of work with the next generation coming through.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the AFL are massaging the club to help them get Danger over the line. Crowds up, sponsorship etc.

Plus Moggs Creek is only a couple hours away. Set him up nicely to retire @ 30...lucky bugger!

If by some chance this does happen, I'm buying shares in Kleenex as there will be a sudden rise in tissue sales!!!

Maybe he was watching North?

This is all to cruel. I thought I'd made my peace with this. I'll now be checking for updates every 5minutes. Damn you Robbo!

GNF...Chook.any news...a signed forward dated contract perhaps? Something? :)

I'm happy to pay Danger an extra 300k a year that he doesn't need than retain a Bail or M.Jones on 300k a year.

There is some noise around. Absolutely.

But difficult to decipher what is driven by truth, and what is driven by stuff like Slobbo's Likes and Dislikes this morning. But people who I consider reliable sources have their ears pricked.

The other thing I'd say is directed at naysayers: It's easy, after the fact, to grab your erection and say "see I told you it wasn't going to happen!!!1!"

But anyone with half a brain would realise these situations are fluid. If Danger doesn't ultimately come does that mean "pick x was tabled, and he's strongly considering Melbourne's offer" is rubbish? No, it doesn't.

Anyway, I'll check in again if I get anything with legs.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
