Dangerfield - How close to elite is he

[Smoooothy]

His past month has been nothing short of spectacular. He's figured out how to get the loose ball, and his hard ball is better than ever

Is he far away from an elite player in the comp?

 

[spexau]

Had a quiet week last week but still imposed himself in the last half. He just doesn't know how to not win the footy. You'd hate to play against him. He'll be considered truly elite once he has a high 20s ave disposal season I reckon. That's looking like this year anyway.

 

[hugecannon]

His best is elite and I think most people would agree with that, but he needs to produce it week in week out over the season to be considered getting close to elite status.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

He's elite now.

He just needs 100% consistency.

 

[Footypie32]

Put it this way- I would not trade him for any player in the comp!

WILL win a Brownlow one day if not this year.

 

[neddy36]

Adelaide should table a contract for $5,000,000 over 5 years to him. In 5 years time it will be seen as a bargain.

 

[shurg123]

Easily my favourite player in my Supercoach team (probably because I only have 1 hawk in it ), I reckon he'll be as good as Ablett in a season or two. Goes so hard at the ball, very entertaining to watch

 

[JP Sauce]

He's not elite.

He's Dangerfield.

 

[Glenno23]

Easily his best game.

That hit on Murphy was brutal (and fair!) by both players. Unfortunate for Murph he got injured, Danger just continued to rack em up

Muppet for ratten for not tagging him!

He'll be elite by the end of the season at this rate

 

[cammo84]

If he keeps this form up then he will be elite at the end of the season. He would be top 10 in the Brownlow at the moment.

 

[Smoooothy]

He's not elite.

He's Dangerfield.

I like it!

 

[CloneofaClone]

his desperation for the ball, effort to go through packs and tackles and pure speed. He should be next captain

His last 3 games have been elite. In fact, they have been close to best player in the competition good.

So the answer is - if he keeps playing like this, then of course he is elite.

Geelong already has a captain for the next decade. Dangerfield will have to be vice.

 

[ADL9798]

Monster. I don't think there's a more damaging player in the competition at the moment.

 

[Geoffa32]

Best player in the comp this month.

Big reason we have gone 3/0 and not 0/3 in the toughest month of our fixture this year.


BUT, to be considered an elite player of the comp, this has to be the norm for the rest of the season and his career. So not there yet, but will be considered elite for most of his career.

 

[earlsta]

He is the opposition coaches nightmare, un taggable and has the ability to win contested ball then burst away from stoppages with his leg speed.

Coaches may try to tag him but that will be useless as we saw what happened today when a good player tried to stop him.

Will be the best player in the comp soon.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Danger is now "A Grade" and just could be leading the Brownlow at this stage

Sloane is not far from A Grade

 

[taylor_walker_13]

He's elite, he is in Brownlow form, he is unstoppable, fast, hungry........................slide an irresistible 5 year deal under his eyes tomorrow he needs to be locked in long term

19 contested possessions against Carlton................that is a mind boggling stat in anyone's eyes

 

[Hank93]

Elite! Could easily be leading the brownlow. Rob Chapman should offer Danger a 50% stake in St George bank to keep him here.

There is no way he will leave with the Crows in this white hot form.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

If only he was as good as Ebert.

Ebert is, by all accounts having a better season.

We're really lucky Matthew Rendell got just as lucky to get someone just as good.

Love Danger.

 

[Smoooothy]

Contract idea

5 years at 800k on a backloaded contract, plus his pick of Adelaide finest 5 virgins

 

[CloneofaClone]

Geelong already has a captain for the next decade. Dangerfield will have to be vice.

Its only a matter of time before he resigns, hes only holding off to get the big bucks he deserves.

The guy is built like a Sherman tank. If you look at that replay, the player who should have come out of that contest feeling second best was Dangerfield. Collected Murphy's shoulder at high pace straight to the side of his rib cage.

He was absolutely immense today. One of the most exciting players I've seen play the game and it's great to see him start to put all of his talents together. Him and Thompson are working so well together and Sloaney is just the icing on the cake. Must say, VB was also brilliant today in his shutdown roles.
