Patrick Dangerfield

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

Signed up seven kid members to the club yesterday.

Three of whom were new-born sons of mates of mine - fathers all support the Crows.

Get Danger and we've got these boys for life.

That said, it'll be bloody hard to dislodge Danger from Adelaide. But everyone knows that.

As an aside, and I've posted it before, but my son is the youngest ever member of this club. In its entire history. Signed him up as soon as I found out his sex and could give him a name - he was 20 week fetus at the time.

His favourite player is Bernie Vince. Well, I reckon it is - he can't talk yet.

i like your style

Ye we know...still hopeful

What sort of peculiar individual spends time on DL without being a member?

A kid that can't afford it themselves, I'm guessing...

[Earl Hood 5,789]

Interesting we haven't got pick 3 yet. Still a possibility Chip runs off to the Hawks for a smaller contract than envisaged, after all they can guarantee the next grand final appearance. Maybe then we get shafted and thebHawks yet again get what they want for zippo!

I am sure this would make the AFL happy. We may complain but they don't listen.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,024]

He can have my wife every second Tuesday.

Be careful, after what we saw this year there's every possibility the AFL will have us scheduled to play every second Tuesday. Wouldn't want our Paddy too tired before a game....

I was reading that before - nothing surprising about their answer. I can see the Crows being stubborn and backing themselves in to keep him.... but there would have to be that nagging doubt in the back of their mind after losing 5-6 key players in the last few years for not much in return. Unless Danger says he wants out, which will mean the Crows get compensated, then I don't think he'll go anywhere.

Interesting quote that 'they would be staggered' if Dangerfield wanted to leave the club. That implies they aren't totally convinced that D. does want to stay.

How so? Doesn't that mean they would be totally surprised if he left, suggesting right now they don't believe he wants out?

[InVINCEable 358]

If we get Dangerfield, I'll get my first ever membership (100%) as well. Our membership will basically explode if we land Danger.

Yeah with a lot of bandwagoners.

need to run it through the 'trade-week" language decipherer

Both Noble & Mahoney are basically putting it back on Danger. Crows have to back him in until he actually says he leaving the club.

[InVINCEable 358]

PLEASE!

[KingDingAling 3,596]

Dangerfield isn't under any pressure, he still has a year to run.

Adelaide are the ones who should be seriously considering this offer.

The fact the Crows have came out and said they'd refuse to even look at the offer - tells me everything.

Dangerfield doesn't even need to comment, nor would he be desperate to get home, he is under no pressure at all.

This Dangerfield to Dees is just a beat up, mostly just internet gossip.

[PaulRB 5,921]

Interesting position Dangerfield is in, decide to go now and get best deal for Adelaide Football Club (but have to go to MFC, but get LOADs of CASH) or

Wait a year enduring reams of speculation before waltzing to a power club and screwing the AFC with average compo.

Key seems to be Clubs ability to convince Dangerfield of Roos ability to orchestrate a rapid rise next year..

except that little part about the club officially stating our interest

[dee-luded 2,958]

I still think we are talking about this to distract everyone else from our real target...

Bingo! Jaded. I have it on gord authority, we have JSelwood on the hook.

[Felix 92]

Bingo! Jaded. I have it on gord authority, we have JSelwood on the hook.

That would make one player I know very happy to have him on board.... Would be nice to have Selwood next year, we can only dream.

[dee-luded 2,958]

To me this sounds like Danger is almost certainly on the move. Firstly there is no way that Conners has not spoken to Danger in the last two weeks....... an out and out lie. Secondly Conners failed to commit Danger to Adelaide. Thirdly this is exactly the same language used for Clark, Frawley, Rivers, Scully. "Clark loves the MFC"...... PLEASE!

I think I heard that conversation, not knowing who was being interviewed, but I heard that statement, & the speaker did a Freudian Slip saying Danger is very happy at Collingwood,,, ah at Adelaide... he went on to say.

is there a 3 way or 4 way going on here?

[KingDingAling 3,596]

That means absolutely nothing.

Who would want to go to Collingwood apart from Clark?

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

of course it does muppet

[McQueen 17,863]

nothing will get done till Frawley is gone and we get that pick

this could be why now the afl has said the compensation

​picks will be done once the player confirms he is leaving and the deal is done

rather than later

as it was going to hold up many trades

This is at a point now where if Frawley actually stays he will be forever blamed for us not being able to trade for Dangerfield.

Probably best that James shoots thru.

[KingDingAling 3,596]

You are the only muppet here, pull your head in you clown.
