for Dangerfield - or some other genuine quality 'marquee' player that we could possibly be looking at?

Just wondering where everyone's heads are at on this

Only 1 high pick, the thought of giving 2 top 10 picks for any player is absurd and would set the club back further.

Its a bit of a catch isn't it.

Now look at it from adelaides point of view.

Why would they give up a proven star for a potential star.

So thats why its necessary to give multiple picks.

Picks 2 and 21 or whatever it mitt be won't cut it for danger.

If the club is keen on landing him, they would probably arrange a swap around of picks with other clubs to offer adel;aide something quite reasonable other than 2 and 3, could be 3 and a top 10 or 15 pick.

because realistically theres not that much difference between pick 3 and pick 10.

Who knows, they might not be all that keen on danger.

I didn't think it was in roos's style to target big fish like that. I thought he would be going for smaller names, like bang for buck, sam kerridge or a crouch would be a good pick up.

Ive said it before, north have got some quality mids that hadvnt made massive names for themselves yet, cunnington, zeiball, although given the seasons success i doubt they wil be keen to go anywhere.

There are so many quality mids out there that would be better bang for buck than dangerfield, and we would also be able to avoid all of the baggage that comes with over paying a new player.

However, in roos I trust - Im sure he knows what he is doing, so who ever he brings to the club - I will embrace.

 

Hard one to decide. A pick and a lesser player ie Tappy would be great but wouldn't get it done I think.

Pick 2 and Toumpas seems fair, the biggest challenge is going to be convincing Danger he wants to come, if he tells the crows that alarm bells will go off and Pick 2 would suddenly look a lot better than their potential compo

Pick 2 and Toumpas seems more than a fair trade to me, leaving pick 3 to grab Brayshaw or look to secure a different deal.


From Adelaide's perspective, Pick 2 and then something else would be fair and reasonable, though I don't think they'd be so greedy as to expect 2 & 3 together.

But for us, I don't think it would be appropriate to pay more than just pick 2.

Personally, I don't see it happening.

Pick 2 or Frawley compo (should be pick 3) + Toumpas/Trengove for Dangerfield + 2nd or 3rd round pick would be fair IMO.

 

Pick 3 and Colin garland?

Anyone who thinks we'll get Dangerfield for pick #2 only are deluded.

He's a star in his prime. Pick 2+3 combined probably have less than a 20% chance of ever becoming as good as Dangerfield.

I'm sceptical about the whole Dangerfield thing but if Frawley's departure and Clark's contract termination leave us with heaps of salary cap room and we get pick 3 for Frawley and a top 10 pick as "draft assistance" we would be well placed to make an offer that can't be refused to both player and club and still leave ourselves with one of pick 2 or 3 as well. Easier said than done although it shows how important that application for draft assistance might prove to be.

Posted this in another thread aswell, my thoughts on a trade.

Don't think we are going to get Danger, but if I was in charge I would go with something like this:

Pick 2 and 3 plus Toump for Danger, pick 10 and 3rd rounder

We could then trade pick 10 plus Watts to Sydney for Mitchell and their 1st or 2nd rounder.

Ahh I can only dream !!

I don't want him if we have to give up 2 top 10 picks, massive overs.

MFC : Dangerfield Crows pick 9 and Crows pick 46

Crows: MFC pick 2, MFC pick 3 & MFC pick 22.

We get Dangerfield, pick 9 Jordan De Goey, pick 46 Billy Evans.

Three big strong mids added for clearances, tackling and no backward steps.

Judd went for pick 3 and Kennedy (former top 3 pick). Granted he was a once in a generation type player but that's the kind of currency these guys command. The only thing that may bring it down is the prospect of losing a player to FA the year after.

I tend to agree, rjay. What we really need to get out of this off season is two or three midfielders. I'd be leaning towards the likes of Shiel, Mitchell and say Prestia (if the latter wasn't contracted). But those types. Give up both top picks (2 and probably 3) and any other draft compensation picks we get if Clark leaves.

I agree rjay, one top pick (P-2, or P-3) plus a player I'm fine with, but not both of our potential top picks, for just one pair of knees.

I'd be OK with P-3 & lets say a 'Garland',,, for a Danger, or a Tex Walker.... & a Fist-Full of Dollar$.

Mitchell worries me as he hasn't done anything to show how good he is? well, that i've seen anyway. I take it you mean mitchell of sydney? why are people talking of him interms of a 1st Rndr

I want that 30 year old bloke, what's his name? Ablett.

Yeah. Pick 2 and Jack Watts for Ablett.

Pick 2 or Frawley compo (should be pick 3) + Toumpas/Trengove for Dangerfield + 2nd or 3rd round pick would be fair IMO.

I think I'd rather Tex Walker than Danger. I was on the Danger bandwagon, but truth be told, I'd prefer Walker to help Hogan up front.. Pick 3, + either Toump or Garland, for big Texas Walker.

leaves us with the other top pick to trade for multiple players....

p-2 to GWS or GCSuns...

GWS: P-2 & Howe, or another player, to GWS for Shiel, Jaksch, & Frost.

GCSuns: P-2 + 4th Rnd pick, to GCSuns for Picks P-8 & P-16 & Gorringe.

 

MFC : Dangerfield Crows pick 9 and Crows pick 46

Crows: MFC pick 2, MFC pick 3 & MFC pick 22.

We get Dangerfield, pick 9 Jordan De Goey, pick 46 Billy Evans.

Three big strong mids added for clearances, tackling and no backward steps.

22 might go on Stretch. We might, just might get start of 2nd round priority pick which could work for this.

Pick 3 and a decent player.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
