Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

Saints fell into a hole because of Ross Lyon. Just as Fremantle will fall into a hole in 2 years once they lose their senior blokes.

I agree. Lyon's record is with a ready made list. If Freo don't do it in the next 2 years, they will slide as well.

Has any other club got more cap space than we do?

And would they be willing to spend as much on a midfielder as we are willing to pay for Danger?

Is there a bigger personnel drawcard for him at a rival club than Goodwin and Vince?

These questions have me optimistic about how things will play out this year, it's a long shot but the MFC is certainly a chance.

Saints, GC, GWS, Pies and Hawks would be my guess. Remembering it's not the money you have available now but at years end.

Ok here is the final word on this topic - Patrick Dangerfield will NEVER play for the Melbourne Demons.

Two things - you won't convince anyone with just the answer, you have to show your work...and I can definitely say that a statement like that will not be the last word on this topic.

That's a good question and one that Joel Selwood has shed some light on in and article today. He alludes to the premise that Geelong footy club will not pay out big bucks to a star like PD but as part of a high performing team, shall adjust contracts and payments according to the clubs postion in the competition. It's logical, but hardly the way FA is working.

The question is; will the Dee's be the equal of Geelong by the end of 2015? Will there be enough attraction for PD to return to Vic for a premiership tilt with ......?

I don't believe FA is all about premiership tilts.

Goddard, Dal Santo and Daisy didn't walk out on their previous clubs for a legitimate flag contender. They walked for money.

This club can afford to offer a much more lucrative salary than any other club, which gives Patrick 3 options:

A) Stay at Adelaide for a possible long-term premiership

B) Move to a legitimate premiership contender for considerably less dollars than market value

C) Get the "marquee" money overs here for a possible long-term premiership

I would say that Goddard and Del both went for what they thought were premiership tilts. The bombers blew up on Goddard and Del is still in the race but I can't see him getting there.

Daisy got a great offer to join his mentor. The delusional Carlton people would have you believe they are a legitimate contender, I would say that is for the spoon....

I don't know if we can offer more money than other clubs but wouldn't want to anyway.

Forget Danger I say we go hard for Tim Cahill, one year contract as a key forward.

Geelong broke their own rule of capping stars at 500k a year when they resigned Harry Taylor and I wouldn't be surprised to see them do it again. Their list has changed a lot since winning 3 flags.

They are on the slide.

Balmey was the best footy manager in the comp but the team is full of old stars and young talent . Not many 25 to 28 year olds.

For what has been an unsuccessful period at least we've had some entertaining forwards - Robertson, Howe, Jurrah, Farmer......seen some great marks taken.

I still remember Wright, Jacovitch and Jacko. Makes me think that we have had some of the most entertaining forwards in the AFL (even aside from the highly talented trio of Lyon, Neitz and Schwartz)!

And so it turns out that Dangerfield's father is on Adelaide's payroll.......

And from the same article another interesting tidbit about you know who...Greater Western Sydney were forced to put roof tiler Phil Scully’s $680,000 six-year contract as a recruiter in the salary cap after he was offered a deal 12 months before his son, Tom, signed on.

I had never realised it was 12months before that lying cheating scumbag left us....

As much as I would love Dangerfield at the Dees he will come at a very hefty price (predicted $1.2 M a season).

Instead I would prefer to see us target and obtain two of S.Selwood (FA), J.Steven (FA), R.Sloane (trade).

I would also like to make sure that we have enough to lock Hogan up to a good deal for 2017 and beyond before season 2016 kicks off.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
