Campo was right, Dangerfield was wrong...Dangerfield deviating from our organised set up with his see ball, get ball, resulted in 2 clearances and 2 goals to the Hawks when the game was in the balance, Campo had every reason to be pissed. Danger is a superstar, absolutely, but even he must work within team structures...it's a team game.

UPDATE: ADELAIDE midfielder Scott Thompson says he didn’t see the bake delivered to fellow mid Patrick Dangerfield by midfield coach Scott Camporeale, but has hinted at a communication breakdown in the centre.
Footy experts have suggested Dangerfield was guilty of chasing the ball and ignoring his role at the two bounces, which both led directly to Hawthorn goals that effectively ended the contest midway through the last quarter.
Walsh says the conversation — from the team bench with Dangerfield and the coach’s box with Camporeale — was about a setup at a centre bounce during the last term when Hawthorn turned a 19-point lead to a 31-point buffer with two quick goals from centre breaks.
“It was about a technical issue … where people should have been (in the centre stoppage structures),” Walsh said. “It didn’t cost us the game. I would not read too much into it.”
Former Essendon skipper and three-time premiership midfielder Tim Watson says Dangerfield had left a blatant “gaping hole” at the stoppage, which he says goes a long way to explaining the burst down the blower.
“If you look at it closely, he left his post at the centre bounce a couple of times,” he said on SEN radio.
“When they set up, (it’s a case of), ‘You’re supposed to stand there, and you’re supposed to stand there’. He left his post too early on two occasions, which left a gaping hole which meant that Hawthorn were able to clear the ball and that obviously was what Scott Camporeale was talking to him about.”
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE HOW THE CENTRE BOUNCES PLAYED OUT
And he reckons it will only spark more chat about Dangerfield — who is out of contract at season’s end — and his future.
“You could see clearly that there was a fair bit of aggression in what Scotty Camporeale had to say to Patrick Dangerfield,” Watson said.
“Of course, everybody pulls that apart and says where’s Dangerfield going to be playing next year, what does this mean, that there’s some sort of disruption to a relationship that he’s got.”
Adelaide board member and former Crows midfielder Mark Ricciuto says it’s more than fair that the issue of Dangerfield’s time on the pine is in the spotlight.
“Absolutely it is,” he said on Triple M Adelaide today.
“Dangerfield had had 27 disposals until three-quarter time, and he only had four in the last quarter when the game was there to be won.
“There’s no doubt that five minutes on the bench was far too long and whether Phil (Walsh) said it didn’t (affect the outcome of the game) or not, it didn’t help.”
Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy said Dangerfield got in the way of teammate Scott Thompson when he charged across the centre circle, leaving direct opponent Sam Mitchell on his own.
“For guys like Dangerfield for the entirty of their career it’s see ball, get ball, but for coaches it’s such a structured event they sometimes don’t want players going for the ball,” Healy said on Fox Footy.
Former Hawthorn champion Dermott Brereton was more critical of the Adelaide star.
“Scotty Thompson was the No.1 go-to player in the third quarter, he won everything underneath the hands of the ruckman,” Brereton said.
“Then you see Dangerfield start between Mitchell and Roughead and he ran away trying to read the ball off the hands, and it left Mitchell and Roughead, who took the ball out this side when it spewed out to them.
“Would Camporeale be really angry that, ‘Hey, you were the support in there, Thompson is the target player, but you ran there trying to shark the ball?’.”
