Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

He did say Jones should've been captain in 2012, and was ridiculed for doing so.

He might be a muppet, but I don't see thevil1 going out on a limb.

Rightly so. Jones's breakout year was 2013. He was too inconsistent even in 2012. He tried to break tackles and would get caught every time. He's learnt his limitations since and became a much better player for it and deserved the captaincy when he got it. Edited by AdamFarr

I won't go on a Wines/Toumpas bashing post like others and I still think Toumpas could be a good player for us. However, if you are correct that he is homesick, it makes me think back to one of the reasons given for taking Wines over Toumpas and that was the go home factor.

Sad if that turns out to be the case.

Werent dilligent enough were we..... ( but hey that was then.... we're in the now )

Be a win win therefore if he were to be part of a home going for both players..( Dangerfield to Vic, Dimitri to SA )

Until we know we are getting pick 3 for Frawley, nothing will eventuate in regards to Dangerfield. We will need to trade pick 2+3 to get him. And it is easily worth it. He would be the first superstar we've had in decades. He would improve our midfield instantly. He wins contested ball, he breaks away with pace, he throws people out of his way and he kicks goals. He is also a leader. We need quality midfielders, and we need senior leaders. Pick 2+3 is easily worth it and I hope like hell it eventuates. Once we know the Frawley compo it will heat up!

Even if you didn't just tell us you did, make it like a good fishing story, you know as the years go by they get bigger and bigger!

I shouldn't be saying this but I have it on good authority that Dangerfield is ours. He is just waiting to sell his house and get all his possessions moved before the feral locals find out and they torch his house. :)

When you say good authority, are you 100% confident he is coming to us, because you know someone in the inner sanctum , whom you trust,that has told you so?

Your second sentence is very confusing.

I'm not sure if you're attempting to be humorous or if it's serious?

I have a headache.

Consistent enough to win our B&F in 2012.

Neeld opted to appoint Trengove and Grimes, with much fanfare around here.

Neither proven to be good captains - with both lucky to even remain in the side.

Jones should've been captain in 2013, no doubt about that.

Roos rectified this stuff up and Jones is doing a tremendous job thesedays.

Apologies. Getting my years mixed up. The last few have sort of rolled into one. What I meant was that his breakout was 2012, so to give him the captaincy prior to that (ie the start of 2012) didn't make sense to me. I agree he should have been a co captain or captain at the top of 2013.

Yeah, either way it doesn't matter now, all is well.

Just really hope Trengove eventually comes good for us.

Heart breaking to see him in the twos this year, was such a fine junior footballer.

Is that first line the set up to a C grade joke or do you actually have good info?

The other aspect to this that others have touched upon and I really like, is the message it shouts. MFC open for business. We're intent on getting better; come join us ( and we'll pay the right person bucket loads and reward his prior club handsomely.

Even if we don't land Danger you can be assured either another player and/or his management will be looking on interested.

That in itself may work well for us...I.e. first in, best dressed gets the lollies.

Love trade time...it's fascinating entertainment :)

Yep, the balls are out of the Truss, set free to swing wildly in the breeze... & I think they're liking It.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
