Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty certain we were after Lever with the pick for Trenners. Roos has known him and the Lever family since he was a baby.

Huh?

Lever wasn't even drafted and on a list.

a series of quotes from sources yesterday:

1,000,000 - 1 shot

We're playing Hay List to Geelongs Black Caviar, but still a chance.

I've got more chance of being drafted.

Its difficult to not dream until it's a definitive no. But don't leave your nuts flapping in the wind waiting for good news.

If your nuts are flapping in the wind you should prob see a surgeon.

There are essentially two elements to the Dangerfield comedy.

1: Is he leaving and preferred destination.

2: The path to facilitate 1

1 is a given

2 is a bit murky and path littered with impediments.

There is a defacto 3rd for mine. That being, depending upon the ease and speed of Paddy making his transition there might problems with other trades until it does...or stalls.

SEN just said that Adelaide may well match the offer to get a better trade result

Caro said the same last night.

She added that Danger was determined to get to Geelong without them giving anything up. Ostensibly, because he wants them to be successful when he gets there so he doesn't want them to trade and give up their 1st round pick(s)/player.

She said that he might do a 'Luke Ball' (same Manager) and go into the PSD.

But Garry (God bless him) piped up and said he would never get past the teams below Geelong...paraphrasing here: Demons would throw the cheque book at him and work out later how to get him to love playing for the club.

That would put the 'cat' among the pigeons for the AFL...of course it won't get to that.

We may need more popcorn!

afl.com.au is reporting the offer to Dangerfield from Geelong is 800k per season

Seems pretty low to be honest ... we might still be in the mix if we are offering a long contract at over a mil per year

I can't see him going anywhere except the Cats or stay at the Crows ( but stranger things have happened)

Caro may say that, but Motlop was part of discussions before he was convinced to stay.

The cats have been willing to give up such a significant piece, so they won't want to go backwards now.

So, if the cats were willing to trade re Motlop has their position changed?

PSD is probably not an option as the price they can put at that stage will be limited and we (and others) may well match it.

It sounds like he has been sold on we are going to get new blood from the draft (+ a new selwood) and will be back in the top 4 quick smart.

If he ends up going to Geelong I really hope they struggle his whole time there. I liked them during the years they did well, but that was mainly because I liked players like Bartel and Enright. Now I can't stand the way they just want to pick players from other sides rather than build a side. Plus I hate the Scott brothers and their smug little faces!

Just asking...How is that not building a side. Is exactly what we're trying to do is it not..bring in talent. Planting seeds in the veggie patch and hoping/waiting can only ever provide so much

Adelaide have to match the offer.

Both parties would have spent a significant amount of time planning for this moment, including what gets leaked strategically (eg Dangerfield preparing to go into the draft). It’s going to be fun to watch, but I still expect Danger to get to Geelong & Adelaide to receive some measure of compensation. I’d be staggered if either side hadn’t explored all eventualities.

Agree we are trying to do that but it's just frustrating that every player wants to go to either Collingwood, Geelong or Hawks.

Dont care if we get him or not, but ill be farkin annoyed if the Crows dont match the offer and make Geelong cough up big time in a trade

Absolutely HH. We appear to be desperate for Jake Melksham (Jake Melksham.... ffs) and Henderson and Dangerfield wander in to Deliverance Town for a song. Equalization appears to be an absolute ripper. And surely it's time for one of the major political parties to commit a couple of mill to another Kardinia Park upgrade, what with the 20 members from other clubs looking for somewhere to sit. It's been over 5 months now.

I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore. Go Dees.

Pretty sure the Pies offered just over a million a year. An offer of 1.5 for five would have to be given consideration.

    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.
