Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

Just when I consign myself to the fact that he is definately going to Geelong , some nuff nuff on the Tele says the Dees are still a chance, this is playing havoc with my acid reflux.

As if Gia would have any idea as to what is going on.

Just trying to drum up ratings.

I remember an old lady ringing KB saying Buddy was going to the swans and everyone laughed at her.

What would she know? She trumped everyone.

Do I think Danger will come to us, probably not.

Do I think the clubs made a play for him, yes.

Sorry to rain in on the parade..

Dangerfield's manager Paul Connors has said his client is only considering the Crows and Geelong, with the Cats' home base 55 minutes from his home town of Moggs Creek.

I don't have anything to back this up but I'm refusing to believe that Dangerfield is going to Geelong. Something is just not adding up! Paul Roos came out and said we are going to be big players this year in the trades yet all we have heard so far is Melksham who I don't think is a huge recruit but could prove handy none the less. Melbourne had the money last year and by all accounts floated the idea of some serious money for Dangerffield and now we read about the contract with Geelong only being $800k a season for 5 years. A few suspicious tweets from Melbourne players to Paddy is also making me think there is more to the story than what we know. I could be wrong and maybe time will tell but we have all seen this before with Buddy and Tippet. Remember players managers get paid based on the size of the contract so that's why some things do t turn out the way that most people think.

He most probably is but

A - Until it's done it's not done.

B - If we have offered 1.5 for 5 you'd have to consider it.

Paul Connors already declared it's a two horse race, Geelong or Adelaide. That's as good as confirmation for me.

I haven't heard the quote, but I believe all Connors did was confirm Hawthorn were not interested and than went to say at the moment it's between Geelong and Adelaide. I think the press inferred those comments

So? He'd never base himself in Mogg's Creek.

I can't understand why this would be a factor.

Being in Vic would be key.

Presume such qualification by the manager is within the rules, but IMO such action borders on unfairness buy shutting other potential bidders out compromising real trade. Hope Adelaide steps up to the plate.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
