Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

The reason Adelaide would match the offer would be to receive better compensation from Geelong than they would from the AFL if they simply let him walk. If they didn't match, the highest compensation pick they could possibly get would be 13th, and that's assuming no priority picks to Brisbane or Carlton, as well as no top band compensation for any clubs below them on the ladder. It's much more likely that they would receive a pick ~16th for him, which is far less than they would be able to get if they trade for him. I'm certain that Geelong will part with their first round pick (higher than 16) for Danger, and it's possible that the Crows may be able to get even more out of them.

End scenario: Danger reaches the Cats; Adelaide receives a better deal from Cats than they would by accepting the AFL's free agency compensation.

What can the Cats give that will be more than ND13?

If Adelaide matches, the PFA is going to have a fit...

Geelong's first round pick will be around ND9 so that might be the 'compromise'...

Geelong isn't going to give two first rounders when they could have had him for nothing...

They will kick up a stink.

It will be wonderful - I hope Adelaide matches...

They have no right to have a fit. It's exactly how the system they helped create was designed to work.

Gives clubs a chance to keep or get better compensated for their best players. I think Adelaide should definitely match the offer.

Adelaide has every right to match, Its the rules. Geelong will have a sook behind closed doors cos they weren't gifted a superstar like they would have thought would happen, but they will have no choice other than to get a trade done. Lets hope they have to pay through the nose.

Adelaide should match just to set a trend that players can't just walk via RFA like they have been.

Want to leave two years early and choose your club... Um... No.

Oh Geelong, you want to trade now... Um... No.

That five year deal Paddy, we will match that, see you at pre season training.

Cheerio.

According to Stuart Fox, the deal with Geelong was signed months ago. Laughable that anyone would even think he was coming to Dees. The Hawks never made an enquiry, in fact, never even contemplated Dangerfield.

well it might have been agreed verbally but to sign a contract would violate afl rules so i doubt it

It's pretty ridiculous, free agency was brought in for players who are push into early retirement to give them a chance to play on at another club.....

Not sure if serious?

It was brought in to be a token gesture to look like the AFL weren't engaging in restriction of trade, so the players' union didn't kick up a stink.

It will be exceptionally rare for Clubs to match offers for several reasons particularly if that player has provided great service eg Judd & Dangerfield because they (a) don't want a player in their environment that doesn't want to be there and (b) they don't want to risk a court case.

You must also remember that when a Club goes to a player who is out of Contract and says we are delisting you, the Player can't say no, I'm staying.

Yes but Crows owe it to their members to get the best deal.

If they let him go they get pick after their first pick.

If they match offers, they trade him for say Geelong's higher first pick and maybe another pick or player or combination.

What would you do if you were the Crows?

He still gets to the Cats.

WTF........Giansiracusa just said he thinks Melbourne might still be a chance for Dangerfield on game day.

He said there were 1.5 million reasons

I've got a feeling we are throwing the kitchen sink at him....that war chest we've been accumulating is overflowing and waiting the right person.

    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.
