So, why wouldn't his manager or the player himself state that directly.

I can't see how anything can be gained by just stating you are coming back to 'Victoria'.

If I had to guess, it's purely because the official free agency period hasn't begun and they want to look as if they're following AFL protocol.

Obviously it hasn't stopped other players demanding trades to specific teams, but not one other free agent this year has announced a destination club either, so it's hardly an isolated situation.

    Gibson, Hale, Frawley, Gunston, Burgoyne, Lake, McEvoy, Ceglar, etc, yes the Hawks developed their own talent.

    Hodge, franklin, Lewis , Rioli, Roughead , Mitchell etc etc...

    They haven't given the farm to attract big name player.....

    I can put up the Geelong list of players....

    You win flags with strong culture .. You can't buy or draft it.. All those Hawk players who come from other clubs walked into strong culture & become better players...

    Ps love to have him though

    Is there such a thing??

    It does seem to be an oximoron, doesn't it?

    A lot like AFL Integrity Department.

    there is a chance though, and when your other option is melksham, you're gonna take that chance and hold it very tightly

    My wife had dinner last week with Dangerfield's mistress's mother who says he barracks for Sydney and is waiting for a Buddy like offer. Whatever the outcome, we're out of the picture so get over it Demonlanders. She also said he's most probably gay.

    Nah, not believable. Got to be a hairdresser in the chain somewhere for it to have any credibility.

    Fagan has become adamant that the Crows had to be “fairly” compensated for losing such a star. That point will be reinforced today when Adelaide makes the declaration it will be first AFL club to match a free-agent offer — forcing Geelong to trade for Dangerfield or run the risk of losing him in the AFL national draft on November 29.

    Suck [censored] Geelong hahahaaaaa

    This will be interesting. Dangerfield ending up in the draft is a worst case scenario for all parties involved. It would mean that Adelaide will not be compensated, Geelong will likely miss out on him, and Dangerfield himself runs the risk of ending up in Queensland, Sydney, or at another Victorian club. Adelaide will obviously be keen to maximize their return from Geelong, however they won't want to lose him for nothing by letting him slip through to the draft. If Geelong are unable to satisfy Adelaide's demands will he become open to moving to other Victorian clubs for fear of heading north? Will Geelong accept Adelaide's demands? Or will Adelaide give in and accept Geelong's best offer?

    It's a high-stakes game that these three parties are playing, and it's going to be very interesting to see who folds first.

    For those who believe that Dangerfield is going anywhere else but Geelong it's worth pondering over the pain the Cats have gone with regard to letting some of their all time greats leave the club. Stevie Johnson would IMO have been kept on if they weren't absolutely sure that Danger was coming to them and it will happen - it's just a matter of how he gets across.

    Adelaide trade Dangerfield to Geelong

    Geelong trade Pick 9 back to Adelaide, Jared Jansen to Brisbane and Josh Walker + Draft Picks 28 & 46 to Carlton

    Carlton trade Tom Bell to Brisbane & Lachie Henderson + Pick 74 to Geelong

    Brisbane trade Sam Mayes to Adelaide & Pick 75 to Geelong.

    NET GAINS & LOSSES.

    Adelaide get Mayes & Pick 9, loose Dangerfield.

    Geelong get Dangerfield, Henderson & Picks 74 + 75, loose Walker, Jansen + Picks 9, 28 & 46.

    Carlton get Walker + Picks 28 & 46, loose Henderson, Bell & Pick 74.

    Brisbane get Jansen & Bell, loose Mayes & Pick 75.

    They all win. Except Adelaide I guess. You can never really win when loosing Dangerfield.

    Yes Danger is going to the cats but I would have thought Stevie J was moved on because it was time. Yes he helped to influence the odd game but so did Goodes and Cross. They are staggering the retirements of their champs. Bartel had a bit left after returning from a long injury lay off during the year. He can sit on a back flack, play limited minutes in the midfield or sit in a forward pocket.

    Makes me smile they will match the offer. This decision benefits every club, except Geelong, with less compensation picks diluting the draft.

  • Quote

    It will still end up benefitting Geelong. They GET Dangerfield. And it seems for less than others might have paid. They're not losing here.

  • Quote

    I know it is close to home but why would you go to Geelong now? Surely he can see th downhill slide they are facing?

  • Quote

    I get the impression Paddy sees Geelong as being 'home' .

    I can understand that. He'll be looked after. He'll be set for life and theres more than footy .

    But they will have to trade something for him rather than get him for nothing.

    So lets hope the Crows bend them over

    They could end up with Geelong's first round pick this year and next.

  • Quote

    Let Geelong do that, will put them further behind in youthful talent, all for 1 man for 5 years.

    Why not? My wife turned down near 40k to work 30 minutes away from home opposed to 2 hours. Money ain't everything.

    If your wife were offered 700k extra to work that 2 hours away, she'd take it. Don't say she wouldn't.

    In that case their should be investigations into under the table payments by Geelong to Dangerfield or his family/missus

    There is no logical reason why hed knocks back that sort of money

    Logical reason is he wants to play near his hometown, Melbourne is too far away.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
