Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

Motlop wouldn't sign.

He had a change of heart and has now signed.

They were always reluctant to lose him, but if you have to, you might as well use him to get Danger.

Do you think they are willing to trade someone or something for Danger?

It seems they were.

...and if so, are the media beating this one up a bit.

Geelong is going to have to pay overs to get him. Adelaide will match and pay him $1 million a year. Geelong will have to part with 2 first-round picks and a player because their picks alone won't do it.

Can Geelong afford to give up draft picks at this stage? Danger is only 25, but...they're going to lose a lot of experience over the next few years and I'm not as encouraged by their depth as their fans are.

Its a good question(s)

Without doubt this has been brewing for some time. Obviously Geelong knew a bit before the Crows :rolleyes: But they all have known for long enough to have formulated a battle strategy for all of this.

Also beyond doubt the 4th estate are sensationalising it all as much as possible....sells papers.

This looks to me like a game of "blink". Adelaide can steer it their way ( to best possible outcome ) but they are also then treading a fine line.

Going to be interesting to see who blinks first. What we do have though is two Clubs that are sensible enough to get deals done.

Can another club, such as Melbourne, say that if you let him through to PSD we will stump up picks and players greater than what Geelong is offering?

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!

Am I getting this right?

So Danger wants to get to Geelong without them giving anything up to get him, but instead he wants to s*** all over Adelaide who would get a single solitary pick that's worse than Geelong's first rounder? And even though he's letting Geelong pay him an artificially low contract (if $800K p.a. is the true amount) by rejecting higher ("market-priced") offers from other clubs?

I have no great love for the Crows, but I hope they bleed 'em dry! This year's first round plus future first round as a minimum, and for good measure throw in Blicavs!

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.

That's a bit rich don't you think?

IN the PDS you don't need to trade picks. The player nominates their price and anyone can pay it.

Luke Ball did the same and we could have picked him up for $500k a year. Instead we called at pick 17 Luke................................................................................................................................................... Tapscott

Luke had a strong season at Sorrento.

But Luke Ball had medical issues, and only one club had access to the all-important medical report. That's the only reason that nobody else could call their bluff, the unknown medical risk was too much. There's no such risk with Danger.

Because Carlton, St Kilda and Essendon would all pass on him.

Apparently he isn't a good fit for these. We, of course, can fit him in but he'd be head to head with Mitchie for a spot so no guarantees.

They'd have to have $800,000+ p.a. in the kitty tho'

Chump change for those Bomber Drug Czars and there's a vacant spot at Visey.

Has a FA offer ever been matched by the player's current club with the view to trade for value? Not aware of one yet.

If that happens, how about we get in on the mix:

Adelaide get Geelong's 2015 and 2016 first round picks and Jimmy Toumpas.

Geelong gets Danger and gives up 2 x 1st rounders and Horlin-Smith (or insert alternative GFC player name here).

Melbourne gives up Toumpas and gets Horlin-Smith (or, as above)

no trading in nd and psd. player can set his own contract terms. if you bid you accept those terms. nothing for original club

so if he sets $800k as per cat's offer and goes intp psd (or nd). demons could pick him up for $800k. no need to bid over

same true for any club with pick before geelong

If Adelaide match the offer, can Dangerfield then set different contractual terms if he enters the National or Pre-Season Draft?

of course, because then he is opting to not go the fa path. just as in the past when out of contract and not agreeing to a trade

so options are....fa..>...trade...>...draft (with/without conditions)....>....sit-out for 12 months

Wow, what a question.

I don't think that has even been thought of at AFL HQ - not writing things down allows them to make something up that best suits the narrative that plays better in the media so I really cannot tell you.

But it isn't written down anywhere...

I would say they will allow him to name different contract terms if he enters the draft, as it will give Geelong the best chance to grab him, and really the AFL wants the player to go wherever he wants to go so that the PFA doesn't have 'Restraint of Trade' fit.

I think this is probably correct.

It will be interesting / borderline draft tampering if Dangerfield initially accepts 5 x $800,000 via free agency and then goes into the draft asking for 2 x $1,800,000 but with an undisclosed side deal to play for base salary for three more years.

your last bit would obviously be illegal and so obvious down the track i doubt geelong would risk the ramifications

this also assumes that at draft time geelong would have 1.8m left in the cap. it would have to be a lot more subtle than that and pass the afl sniff test

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.
