Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

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

More info tomorrow.

Any luck, Chook? The potentiality of this news got me through the night, after another insipid display from my other football team Liverpool.

Dangerfield had committed to The Footy Show before Sanderson was sacked and didn't really want to go on, but he also felt pulling out was a worse look.

I would still ideally like to pick him up for nothing next year and keep our picks.

And I'd like to pick up Ablett, Cameron, and Fyfe for nothing as well but it ain't gonna happen.

I mentioned this last week.

I think the Sanderson sacking was meant to be a preventative measure to stop Dangerfield going, but may have had the reverse effect, with the players copping the blame for the sacking.

At least now Dangerfield could use the excuse of being disenchanted with the coach's sacking and the ensuing blame game, if he is to leave as predicted.

No it's not. It's predicted on fan forums, that's about it.

Blue sky junkies, are the stereotypical dees supporters.

We're all so high on the potential of guys on our list, and we are quick to turn away the chance to swap that for proven consistent output.

If you've read my posts before, you'd know that my general contention on the standard of our list is hardly that of a 'blue sky junkie'.

This wasn't about consistent output. I was saying that if it were to be Toumpas or Trengove with a pick for Dangerfield, I'd rather we sent Toumpas off to Adelaide rather than Jack. If the opportunity came up to trade Trengove for some consistent output, of course it should be entertained.

I'm all for doing what it takes to further the list and climb the ladder, even if it meant trading someone like Nathan Jones.

I didn't think it was that complicated a concept, but yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Predicted. In general. By anyone.

Most supporters who have watched us on a regular basis are under no illusions as to the strengths and weaknesses of our list. There appears to be no quick fix but it's surely time we produced our own champion. It would mean a great deal to many. Footy is clearly about being successful but it's also about going along to see an out and out star win, lose or draw week in and week out. And so, perhaps against logic, I hope that the luck that has deserted this club returns if just for a couple of draft periods.

I'd only be interested in Dangerfield for the right price.

Frawley compo and a player - not Toumpas/Watts.

Other than that I wouldn't pay overs for Dangerfield.

He won't play at a high level beyond 30.

Dangerfield is courageous in a stupid way.

I think he is overrated - and inconsistent - aswell.

He's 26 or 27 is he not? I'm not totally convinced that he'd be the ideal fit in comparison to a couple of up and comers.

It was just a general comment, but it was prompted by your post.

I know I'm a blue sky junkie to an extent. Couldn't have coped otherwise.

I agree with your sentiment though.

Sorry guys was hoping for more detail. not forthcoming.

However what I did get was two other sources tell me essentially the same thing:

Danger and Connors told us to sort ourselves for FA nxt year.

after the events of last week, he's open to moving now.

we have the picks to satisfy the Crows, and an open cheque book.

Forum veterans will recall Grand Final week 2007.

here we go again

I wonder if Dangers granny knows Judd's granny

dunno, but I've heard Dangers grandad knows judds granny, faaairly well.

Personally, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't leave Adelaide before Oct 2015.

maybe the sando sacking was to stop 3 players going next season, free agency ?

maybe the patty trade will help they're player payments to the other 2 ?

This is what I think they've been saying to everyone. I know the cats have had talks with those 2.

I imagine next year we'd be an also-ran, and merely used to push his price up. Naturally.

after the events of last week, he's open to moving now.

And that's why we'd need to move now, because now is when WE are the best placed to secure him.

If we wait til next year we'll be 6th in line, flirted with to secure his big pay day elsewhere.

There is NO WAY KNOWN, that Danegrfield will come to Melb. You blokes are deluding yourselves but carry on! Just hope that when this is exposed as pure folly then the trip down is cushioned by a few tons of mattresses!

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
