Patrick Dangerfield


Demonsterative

Recommended Posts

I find this comment interesting. Sounds like we know we'll trade at least one of pick 2 or 3 (assuming we get pick 3 for Frawley, which we should and Roos sounds pretty angry about the whole free agency debacle, so I'm sure we will), which means we probably already know what deal we wanna do, which could also mean that we are confident we'll get Danger or somebody equally good.

Paul Roos says the club won't bring in too many young players in this year's recruiting period

Would love Danger but IMO Pick 2 & 3 is overs, one of those picks and a player is okay (lets face it if he is leaving next year it is a better deal than they will get now and Pick 2 is a chane at Petracca for them)

I would also consider dealing with GWS Pick 2 and a player or Pick 2 & 3 + player for Pick 4 for a Shiel and Treloar. We need to build depth and whilst Danger is a gun I think we would get Treloar and Shiel for less money than Danger would command and with Pick 4 still think we would get Brayshaw.

I agree, mate. I just can't see GWS giving up their two best mids for more draft picks. They are seemingly keen to spread the age of their list, but they won't give up both of them.

Or it could mean they'll look at all options to get in senior players.... You've just assumed its Danger (extreme positive to extreme negative view haha)

Look I hope he comes but I doubt it, Anywho I don't think anything is going to seriously happen until this thread = 100 pages (just like the clark, frawley and roos threads)

I'd be happy with just Brayshaw from the draft and use all the other picks to bring in more experience

It might not be Danger, but I doubt we're just gonna throw Pick 2/3 on the table and take the best deal

We surely have a plan in mind, which is why Roos is so confidently declaring that we won't bring in many young players this year.

I agree, but we are just guessing atm.

It doesn't necessarily mean we will trade pick 2 or 3 or the combination either though. We could just trade late round picks for Harry L and Frost??? There's no solid evidence to suggest what the MFC will do atm.

Anyway i do think you're right - I'd be surprised if we have 2 top 10 picks by the end of the trade period

Brayshaw and Stretch will do just fine, thanks!

what about P-2, 3, & 22; for Shiel, Jaksch, Pick-4 & Frost ?

Roos just said at a draft camp interview which is on another thread that we would not be offering pick 2 & 3 for Dangerfield. He made comments about how players would be traded the year before their contract ended to avoid FA and said if Dangerfield decided to leave that we with many other clubs would be chasing him.

If Adelaide don't get a commitment from PD within the first couple of days of trade period they will offer him up. Without a commitment he will just be another Frawley and walk to a flag contender next season.

... with appropriate compensation, which would be first round. Not as if they'll lose him for nothing.

Of course but I doubt it will be nowhere near as good the offer from us and unless the Crows think they're in top 4 contention then you'd reckon they'd move him.

I like the way Goodwin said "If players of Patty’s calibre were keen on that, then we’re certainly very open to the idea of trying to get someone in over the free agency period at some stage over the next few years."

Meaning if we don't get him next year we'll have another go (along with many others) next year...

I wrote in to the Sammy's who were doing the trade talk on the HS website about the Dangerfield trade, they seemed to think that it was still a high possibility for the reasons we have mentioned about Adelaide's compensation next year. According to them Dangerfield is still a fair chance to move this trade period

And next year I'd expect we'll be significantly behind the other clubs (who'll no doubt be led by Hawthorn, Sydney and Geelong) in terms of attractiveness for Paddy and we'll have lost our edge.

This is the point. If we don't get him this year, our chance is prob gone.

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

    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.

    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
