Yeah no one called for it, but I did it anyway

Let's stay on topic please folks.

If Dangerfield comes I can see either Toumpas or Trengove leaving with pick 2 or 3.

If I had to choose I would prefer we kept Trengove.

Nice. You posted this at 1.06am today. By 'tomorrow', do you mean 'Sunday tomorrow' or 'Monday tomorrow?

Just checking if I need to sit on Demonland refreshing this page for 12 hours straight today. Thanks in advance.

He's in Perth, so it was before midnight when he posted there. Must be today then.

Make with the F5 hitting, pantaloons!

Pretty definitive that.

Hold that thought. Hearing Dangerfield is now very much in play, with likelihood somewhere near 90%.

More info tomorrow.

Love this.

For all the love for GNF, who has had good mail in the past, I also recall chook has had seriously good mail at times.

Not trying to denigrate GNF, but mail comes at its own pace, and isn't always absolute.

Still love reading this.

Much prefer to keep Trengove, although I'm still not holding my breath that he will come good.

I haven't wanted to post in this topic as yet knowing that until now, it's been very much uphill for the Dees to get him over the line. But as a Dees supporter and also sharing a friendship circle with patty and knowing him personally, I can confirm he is very much open to moving from adelaide, tat the media releases he has done were pushed on him by senior crow officials trying to maintain stability. I can also confirm that if he leaves adelaide it will be to Melbourne. That is all I can say for now, I don't want to mention anything else before he decides 100%. But if I was to put a figure on it, I think pat is better than even money to make a change. The deal put to him will make him one of the top 3 paid players in the game, along with a leadership role. Obviously the crows and Dees need to agree on a trade and I have no idea what that might involve, however pat is genuinely open to crossing to the Dees this trade period.

Thanks Gen Dee.!

Hypothetically, if Adelaide didn't have to accept a deal, and the decision was totally up to Danger, would he be a Demon next season?

Dangerfield wasn't actually quoted as saying he is not leaving.

I couldn't say, what I do know is he is frustrated with how adelaide have handled the senior players and now he has pretty much been forced to defend himself in the media and the board in which he is frustrated at. What I do know is Bernie Vince and Simon Goodwin have spoken at length to him and Aiden Riley has mentioned how good the relationship between the players and coaches are at melbourne. That's pretty much all I can say. From pats mouth on Friday was "sounds pretty good". My advice to him was to think about what the city has to offer in the way of live music and shopping. Like I said in my last post, I reckon it is better than even money. Maybe 65/35 for him coming to the Dees.

Appreciate the reply mate, cheers.

Yes he was. He was also on live radio saying it himself!!!

I am loving the posts gen D.

Thanks

Where, in the article you linked, was he quoted as saying he is not leaving?

The 24-year-old said he had not spoken to any other AFL club and had no interest in leaving the Crows.

Don't be so pedantic. He said on live radio.

Can you provide that quote?

That isn't a quote, it's an inference from the author of the article. The actual quote says this, which is much less black and white (in fact I'd say it's particularly vague):

“I love the city, I love the Club and I love playing there,” Dangerfield said.

“And that’s all that needs to be said.”

And it's not being pedantic. The words people use are important. As soon as the author of an article (or forum post) leave out the actual quote, it goes from "out of the horse's mouth" to "hearsay".

And funnily enough, you haven't given us the radio quote either.

Rubbish mr grammar fool. It's a quote incorporated into a statement. Just because it isn't in quotation marks does not make it any less a quote.

Whilst I'm loving all this news I'm still at a loss of why Danger would want to come to Melbourne.

Whether he wants to leave Adelaide or not, he's still 25, with a team at least in a premiership window with 2-3 years.
We're 5 years away from the likes.. I'd have him in a heartbeat, but I need convincing that even if Adelaide said yes how we would sell to a player to come to a team who finished lower on the ladder than GWS with a quarter of the potential talent on it's list.

that's not true at all. Why do you think writers use quotation marks if not to make clear that this what the interviwee has said.

The blank cheque we have allegedly handed him would be a good starting point.
