Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

When did you hear it?

If you are Bernie Vince, hi, and I think your excellent :)

Lol, I'm still giggling at this post.

Fwiw buying a house down the coast doesn't really mean much when it comes to picking a club. I have a house in the city and one in barwon heads. You can have both. If he bought one in WA or Qld that changes things.

You're referring to "basketball reasons", one of the biggest disgraces in US sports history, and an absolute stain on Stern's legacy. All New Orleans were able to achieve with the trade with the Clippers was helping them become the worst team in the league and earn the #1 pick as mediocrity is death in the NBA. It was less about getting New Orleans good players (the Lakers were sending them all-stars Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom as part of the deal), but pandering to whining owners lamenting that the Lakers had been able to pull off another major deal just after the lockout ended. If that slop ever happened here I'd be filthy.

Importantly, NBA teams are privately owned. New Orleans at the time couldn't attract an owner, so the league was looking after them. Lakers coach Phil Jackson expressed concern over their conflict of interest 12 months before the nixed trade, to no avail. So it's a murky situation that is unlikely to be repeated.

Hang on a second, pants. Stern was rubbish and the ownership situation over there is pure evil but the fact remains that the Lakers were about to get another superstar and the NBA stepped in and made a decision that has rejuvenated Basketball on the West Coast and the NBA in general.

A good competition is predicated on the rise AND fall of teams from year to year.

The AFL has seen a couple rise of late but the other side of that coin is the fall of some clubs that won't fall if they continue to be allowed to recruit the best players.

It says we are 'yet to officially offer him a contract'. I was under the impression we can't officially offer anything until trade week anyway?

Your point is?

Here's the cheque book Paddy, you fill it in and well will do the paperwork later. That's not an official offer, It is a statement of intent.

We've spoken to Dangerfield and basically offered him an open check book.

Sadly, he just doesn't want to come to MFC.

The End

same as the rest of them $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Who are 'the rest of them'!! From recent experience players go to successful clubs for less/not much more money or poor clubs for more money. The only one that has come to us is Mitch Clark and that didn't work out too well.

To me if he wants out there are only three clubs that will be in any position to offer Adelaide what they would want.

St Kilda Pick 1 and most likely second round pick

Melbourne Pick 2 and second round pick or Pick 2 and Three(based on MFC getting this) and a swap of later picks for Danger and Crows first round pick

Western Bulldogs Pick 5 and 6(based on getting this pick for Higgins) and swap of picks later in the draft

All three clubs have the money, it would be just getting him to commit. Once he does any of these three clubs will be able to meet Adelaides needs

Pick 6 compo for Higgins? Good god.

Pick 6 compo for Higgins? Good god.

I reckon Bulldog supporters are saying pick 3 for Frawley Good God

I dare to say Bulldog supporters will be extremely upset if we get Pick 3 and they get a mid 20 pick or worse for Higgins. Ward V Scully still burns them

A bit different. Higgins has been a fringe player for them, Frawley is an AA KPP. Let them say what they like and lets see what deal is thrown up to Higgins.

I don't think even the most optimistic Dogs supporter thinks pick 6 is coming their way for Higgins. He;s been in and out of their side this year, and few are more injury prone than him. Meanwhile Frawley is a durable AA KPD in his prime.

Hahahahahah Higgins - has that guy ever been relevant?

Soft as butter, injury prone one-way runner with a career average of 18 possessions per game.

Pick 6 :)

Higgins can't get a pick 6 for the Dogs. The decision is based on age, length of contract, and $ in contract. Higgins is a couple of years older than Chip and is likely to get a 3 year deal, 4 years max.....similar to Bernie Vince, for whom we got a 2nd round pick.

Giving Higgins four years would almost be as bad as drafting Lucas Cook.

Dawes, Clark, Ablett, Scully, Buddy, Goddard, Thomas, Judd, Betts and numerous others left their clubs for money. Money talks.

Just about every player has a price.

Dangerfield would have his price.

If we get Treloar I will flip out. One of my favourite players in the AFL. Absolute gun.

Younger than Danger too, and less susceptible to injury.

Again with the nonsense claim that Dangerfield is susceptible to injury, when it would take 15 seconds of research to learn that he's missed 6 games in 6 years.

Demonland is sometimes living proof that people are just wilfully ignorant.

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
