How bloody funny would it be to see him and Mardi at their own table though?Short of Danger coming out in his press conference and letting out an evil laugh, I don't think there's any realistic way in which we can tell him to sit at his own table for the Brownlow count or to skip the club champion award, and not look like a bunch of childish jerks.
Just saw Nigel Smart on Pirie St. Would have thought he would be at the club for any announcement. May still be a bit of a wait.
I don't think we do anymore.Agree. We clearly have a culture problem. In the short term I think we will have to focus on recruiting SA players first. Of course all the good ones have already gone to Vic clubs.....
I am really depressed around the state of our club at the moment.
Thats where the system lets us down massively.I don't know how many times it has to be said. You can't trade a player if they refuse the trade.
Danger would have said, "No thanks, I'll play out my current contract." to any trade attempts. Geelong would have said, "No thanks, we'll grab him next year for free."
You might have liked to do that especially with Melb for picks 1&2 but all he had to say was noIf this is the case we definitely shouldve traded him last year
Are you Batman?None that wouldn't compromise me on here.
Sorry if it's been mentioned. Just heard a news grab on SEN where AFL Operations Manager Mark Evans said that the AFL will look at the compensation for clubs losing out on RFA & FA next year but not this year.......what a f***ing coincidence!
My guess is that there's some key players at Victorian clubs in line for FA next year.
I hope this is correct. FA compo should be removed entirely.I think they are considering removing compensation completely
Sorry, but this attitude has been pissing me off for a while now.
Why do we, as supporters, insist on trying to paint Dangerfield as some kind of attention whore narcissist arseh*le?
Let's work in hypotheticals here. He decided at the beginning of this year to leave. What could he possibly have done differently? If he announced he was intending to leave, he's running the risk of getting booed out of the stadium each week, or even getting dropped from the team. He obviously can't announce that he's staying when he's not. So he just uses the line "I'll make my mind up later" whenever he's asked. It's not like he's going out of his way to seek the media to say it. He's said time and time again that he doesn't want to talk about it, but people keep asking. Should he just shut his mouth and leave the room when it happens?
And what about the other scenario - I would say the most likely scenario - that he hadn't fully made his mind up yet at the beginning of the year. So he was honestly saying that he was yet to make a decision, but obviously he's not going to put an early time frame on such a big decision. Then, sometime between then and now, he did make up his mind to leave. He can't then come out and change his tune, it'd be jumped on immediately.
The only alternative is that he comes out and announces early that he's leaving - and he's seen how we react towards players who do that in the past. Not to mention we had a finals thrust that didn't need derailing by questions about whether he should even be still playing. So he kept his mouth shut and just trotted out the party line whenever he was asked. Selfish perhaps, but there has been nothing in his actions to indicate he's getting off on the attention. In fact, I'm willing to bet that he's sick to death of the media scrutiny. All of this "Patty loves the headlines" bullshit just makes us Crows supporters sound like bitter jerks who can't wait to cross his eyes out on all our photos.
But he's a narcissistic attention-whore because...why? Because he doesn't shit himself in front of a camera?Because he is. Apart from the arseh*le bit, he's not an arseh*le.
Wut...Walsh leaves us, Woosha gone, Danger gone...everyone abandoning us. This is the point where my hope for the future of the club is being extremely tested. But it's important we keep the faith.
With or without him, I'm still confident in the team we have raised. We will be fine as long as we keep our composure and keep climbing the mountain.
Puts hand up .....Feel sorry for the poor bastards who actually thought he was staying.
Club seriously needs to reconsider how many people we draft from interstate.
Its beginning to look worse for judasThe fact that he was a RFA this year wasn't exactly a secret. All reports are that Geelong were in talks last year with Danger's manager.
I think that is a bit of a stretch mate.Walsh leaves us, Woosha gone, Danger gone...everyone abandoning us. <snip>

Biggest question I have
Who is to take over his share of the Alma?
To support the new stakeholder I will drink there more often in my way to let danger know I'm seriously let down
