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



Recommended Posts

Posted

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?

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.

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.

hes starting to sound too much like Heritier for mine. An all encompassing font of knowledge on everything.... Just stick to [censored] footy and let the actual academics worry about whats wrong in the world

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
