Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

I'm also going cold on the idea of forking over picks/players and lots of cap space to lure a 'big name' over. In the past I have been strongly for it, but we are now starting to show that a)we can actually develop our kids b)we know how to find imported players that don't 'cost' as much but make an important impact and c) the team as a whole has better effort/professionalism/respect/attention that is not crying out as badly for the services of a genuine elite. Makes it tempting to stay the course, build our own fortress and not go for the big play. Roos is the man though, I have no doubt we were close to landing a big fish last year, and he might go for it again, possibly using Howe in the equation.

Forget Dangerfield. He won't come to us. I suggest we go for Motlop - he's looking at offers from other clubs (heard on the radio)

Problem for us is that we need the type of player Dangerfield is, fast tough inside midfielder...a match winner

We need to use our cap wisely to retain the young talent on the list, dangerfield is individually brilliant but not a brilliant team player. Next mfc who gets 1 mil a year plus should be jesse hogan

He's not worth $1m. That's for a younger Ablett, Buddy. Pendles is also a much better player. Scully, not so much.

We're covered for insiders could we get Motlop and Jetta for $1m?? Much prefer that!

Dangerfield is worth 1m a year..tom boyd not so much....

Dangerfield is 25 and he isn't just an inside player.

Kidding yourself if you don't want Dangerfield

The only danger (*boom tish*) is how do we keep Hogan and the co if we have to pay Danger $1mil plus?

How do other teams afford all their good players? You can fit more than one big salary in the cap. $1 mil? That's the combined wages of Jamar, Garland, & Howe, none of whom will be at our club next year.

Never has so much sense been posted on this forum! Hogan for 10 years should be our priority next year (even though he's signed to 2017). Freo will be circling with 1 mill a year. Hogan should get more than that

Lol yeah lots of "sense"... Freo can afford all their stars and $1mil for Hogan, but we can't afford our C grade list and Dangerfield.... Far out.

He will stay in Adelaide.

He would be an idiot to go to Geelong, they are sliding and about to lose a bunch of their aging stars and their young players arent that impressive.

Dangerfield isnt going to save them.

He wouldn't choose Geelong so that he could have guaranteed success. You do read right?

He will choose his team based on likelihood of success.

Not only do I read but I can also tell whats fact and whats fiction.

I might be mad as i would offer 10mill over 7 years , front loaded , we have more than enough room in our salary cap. And enough to cover Hogan and others when needed .

you want to make finals next year, we will with him , we need that 24/25 year player and not just one

Then who do we want?

There's no longer many A grade mids available in the FA market.

Work the trade period again? If we have a good run home we'll have a weaker hand to deal with.

FA has actually brought with it a new paradigm whereby players may look to get out of contracts early and clubs may cut their losses and do a trade.

What I'm saying is, I wouldn't just be looking on the FA market.

We land dangerfield and we make finals easily next year...so why would anyone be against that idea...

You could argue a bit more short term pain for long term gain. I'm inclined to agree about preferring not to sign Dangerfield, but of course if we were to sign him I'd be very excited.

He will stay in Adelaide.

He's checked out. He won't be at Adelaide next year.

Yes I agree, lets concentrate on the kids at GWS & the Suns, plus a Prestia... that should suffice. oh and did I forget to mention, Hendo's son?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
