To be honest, Brayshaw excites me more than Dangerfield.

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    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

    Hey Dazzle will you never post again if Danger comes to the MFC? :rolleyes:

    You do know that Dazzle was taking the [censored] out of Hogans Hero's when he posted that don't you?

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

    Danger in the middle next year would be sensational with Bernie Angus The Jones Boy and Cross

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    Dangerfield isnt going to save them.

    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?

    we don't want whats happening at the suns re gablett... to happen with us.

    lets back away gracefully from the danger of me me me types.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
