Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

So I say what I heard and add that it is probably excited clutterback from people not in the know.

Then I get told it stinks from WJ who has done the same thing in the Carlilse thread only that, was at a toffy dinner (he didnt pay for).

Seems odd.

Hey Franky,

I didn't say it stinks; only that you would have to be delusional to believe we can get him ahead of Geelong.

And it wasn't a dinner at which I got my mail about Carlisle from but a breakfast and while I didn't pay for the meal, there's no such thing as a free breakfast and I did give a donation for the very worthy cause which was the purpose of the function.

I hope that clarifies the situation. The only thing I found odd was that I couldn't bring myself to stick it up to the table host given Melbourne had given Collingwood a pasting on the Saturday before.

I can tell you two things:

1. We only ever approached adelaide with a one pick offer for danger.

2. If he leaves there is ZERO chance it will to us.

Nup sorry, I'm going to believe the rumours again. Danger a dee works foe me

Yeah, it's probably more likely to be an underground carpark at 2:00am with Roos wearing a trench coat while a cigarette dangles from his mouth.

How is this thread still going?

People like us keep posting.

Edit: Unintentionally rude so I edited myself.

Paul Connor's?

If so, he also manages Tom Lynch.

When did the meeting take place?

And he manages a bunch of our players, whom Roos et al may be wanting to trade etc.

A very long bow to connect a Connors/Roos meeting to any specific player let alone Danger.

I can see him going to Hawthorn, especially if they move Lake on and maybe a couple of other players.

Equalisation at its finest if this actually happened, especially if they win the premiership.

Good list management.

Hawthorn have basically built their current success around a couple of good drafts, just like Geelong did. The only difference is Hawthorn have probably been able to top up better.

Good list management and making the most out of a [censored] up system. I'd expect us to do the same if we were in a similar position.

Different timelines CB.

Geelongs drafts were 14-16 years ago now with Selwood added later.

Hawthorns were 9-11 years ago with Rioli added later.

Hawthorn lost one of the best players ever to play the game to this same system and picked up Frawley, I know which one out of the two I'd prefer.

The issues is more that players have elected to go there hence held a gun to their current clubs to get the trade done. However, this is not a new system as trading has been around for decades.

Hawthorn, I heard last year about this time from a person that has some links to Hawthorns Recruiting that Frawley will be a Hawk followed by Dangerfield in 2015, his last comment was Hawthorn always get who they want. If Dangerfield gets to Hawthorn, free agency will be changed. I reckon the point system for free agency similar to what they are bringing in for Father/Son and academy picks. For example Dangerfield is worth x points, Hawthorns Pick 18 is worth y, if it was a point system Hawthorn would loss its first 3 picks in this years draft and Adelaide would secure those picks. If the AFL doesn't the top 6 teams will remain on top as they will get good players through free agency and also keep getting kids through the draft

Hawthorn would therefore be the second best result.

Previous AFL Footy Manager is a hawks fan and current one an ex Hawks Footy Manager. Interesting how so many new rules favour the Hawks. Which club has been the major beneficiary of FA.

Which club has lost the most players?

Hawthorn lost Franklin and picked up Frawley, how have they benefited the most?

Free agency was player driven, nothing to do with the AFL wanting to bring it in.

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
