Dangerfield - A true off-field intelligent unique AFL role model


TGR

Recommended Posts

TGR , focus on tonight. 99% of people couldn't care less about Sam Newman's opinion on any subject. If he said something about Jenner which you didn't like, ignore it. People will always have divergent views on something a little controversial or different. I couldn't give a flying fruit bat about Jenner's life choices or frankly your opinion about someone's reaction to them. You've got better things to do.

So which part of what Newman's comments about Jenner did you find offensive? I dont understand the backlash against him, hence my comment re: Political Correctness.

PS: I think Newman is a [censored] most of the time.

If you had a TG kid, come around to my place and I'll refer to it as 'it'.

 

You won't be offended, so I will take the liberty.

Danger is a great player and an articulate person.  But he doesn't have a lot of cred with me.

Adelaide picked him up at pick 10, left him in school for a year for no benefit, put a lot of IP and footy smarts into him, developed him beautifully and then, I believe in the year Walsh was murdered, walked out on the club when they desperately needed him.

Homesick?  Give me a break.  Geelong is 90 minutes away, he gets multiple weeks holiday a year to be with family, he would have been as financially successful at Adelaide and perhaps equally or more successful in his playing career if he'd stayed.  There are literally tens of thousands of people in many walks of life that move from home to pursue a career and make sacrifices to achieve success.  But Danger was too precious.  Ran out on a club that had invested big time and done absolutely everything right by him.  But he was a little homesick so walked out on those that played a big part in making him what he is.

He like Judd is smart.  The media won't take him on.  Love watching him, respect him as a footballer but not a person.

 

Totally disagree.

 

His family is massive and tight.  Sacrificed a bit of dough to return to Moggs Creek, or wherever he lives.  Grew up barracking for Geelong.  

He followed his heart in an era where heart and brain and principle in a full-time footballer is a rare combo.

So boring and irrelevant.

I prefer not to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Agree with you TGR. His intelligence is utterly refreshing, just like Hodges commentary and stands in stark contrast to everything else. But you wont get anywhere on this topic because die hard DLers think every non demon player is a [censored] of the highest order and every other club, a pack of rats on a sinking ship :lol:

I agree with you DDavey, Danger is very bright and knows his football but I would suggest he not engage in non-football issues.

Why should Sam apologise? Political Correctness will destroy this country .

Bruce Jenner was a man who competed in the Olympics, was married and had children and now is now a fully functioning women. I'm confused to what he or she is meant to be.

 

She's a woman. But gender doesn't matter, she's a person, and a [censored] one at that. Killed a 69 year old lady in a car crash and failed to take any responsibility. 

And is responsible for one of the most vile families that kids these days now look up to as role models. The respect society shows this idiot is a joke. 

There are far more worthy of the spotlight  transgender people than Caitlyn Jenner.

Wrong. It's just tedious and garbage. Care factor zero.

Put him in Melbourne colours and those who are potting him would be preaching what a great ambassador he is for our game etc etc.

The game needs more players of Danger's calibre. 

Some of the supporter bias on here is [censored] hideous.

Some of the preoccupation with the 'character' of any player is even more hideous. Uprighteous twaddle,Melbourne player or otherwise. No doubt u think that Houli should receive a knighthood for being such an amazing person. Let's focus whether Hunt plays.

Utter garbage.

Adelaide seem to be doing it tough without him sitting second on the ladder and all...

Would love for you to find a quote from him stating that he was "homesick". The word 'homesick' infers something very different. He wasn't a young 18 or 19 year old kid when he decided to leave. He'd spent eight years at the club and given them his all.

Out of interest, what do you think of James Frawley as a "person"?

I mean, I'm assuming that you have no qualms given he played for the team you barrack for?

Yet you seem so fascinated with me?

 

 

Hope Jordie has a good one tonight so you can perk up from your Valium overdose.

 

As u have always done,resort to personal attacks.You're the one so 'fascinated' by your 'chum' Dangerfield. Physiotherapy obviously obviously no longer as fulfilling. Waves a flag for a Geelong player yet can't wait for a Demon to fall. I'm off to the footy.

Which part of "don't post on a thread you have no interest in" do you not quite understand?

Yes, because lord forbid we should show respect, compassion and understanding to people who aren't cis-gender, straight, neurotypical white males.

Danger leaving may well cost Adelaide a flag. Frawley left for success - who could blame him. 

I don't like Danger for the reasons I stated. I rate loyalty. 

I'd be [censored] if Hogan left us. I suppose you'd admire him.

You seem incapable of grasping such a simple idea and solution that would make all of this so much easier for you.

Don't read the thread bro.

 

You're assuming I can read. Wait,maybe u can't 'bro'. What a new age cool Danger loving Dude.

Nathan Jones for one?

You contradict yourself be stating you rate loyalty yet you give Frawley a free pass because he couldn't handle losing?

Odd.

If Hogan left after giving us eight amazing years of footy to go home and build a life, I'd completely understand. But of course be devastated.

It doesn't surprise me you disagree. You either didn't read and understand the argument or you're being deliberately argumentative. 

Danger wanted for nothing at Adelaide, Frawley left for success. 

I really admire Jones (and others) for sticking fat.

No if he was in a Melbourne jumper i would still cringe at half the [censored] he does now. 

And i would still say hes an arrogant [censored].

I would support him as a player and thats it.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    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.
