Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

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.

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!

Jones, Tyson, Vince, Viney suddenly looks so much better with a Dangerfield in front.

Dangerfield, Jones, Tyson, Vince, Viney.

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.

I reckon he'll be alright, particularly if we get Danger. Less pressure on him in the middle.

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

Argh!!!!

We need a [censored] detector on this site. No hang on, we won't get anything posted on here if we did.

I was told from a source that wishes to remain anonymous that this thread has gone to [censored] fast.

It's ok, you can tell them.

I am ET's source.

For Melbourne supporters April

I thought that was the really silly season ... :blink:

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
