Dangerfield will surely be the next crows captain?Animal Enclosure wrote:Dangerfield is the man IMO.
Younger, less injury prone and with a better attitude in general.
Having said that, I rate Sylvia very highly. Having a true goalkicking midfielder that is a brute (with some reasonable pace) would compliment that rest of our midfield beautifully.
I was certainly talking salary cap.InkerSaint wrote:Not sure why we are talking about revenue raising when salary cap is the issue.saint58 wrote:Would love to take him if we had had the cash.plugger66 wrote:We would want to pay him a lot however we dont have a lot to pay him.Dr Spaceman wrote:He'll only be moving for big bucks.jonesy wrote:In a heartbeat,but can't see how,or it happening

Dangerfield may well be looking for a trade back to Victoria. Had a very good relationship with Neil Craig and I've heard (not quite from his parents mouth but very close to) that if Craig were not to be coach, he would seek a trade back to a Victorian club...dragit wrote:Dangerfield will surely be the next crows captain?Animal Enclosure wrote:Dangerfield is the man IMO.

Is saint58 now advocating that we divert some of the money he wanted raised to build grandstands and other facilities at Seaford to paying Colin Sylvia inside/outside our current salary cap?

No, we're being challenged to think outside the square.Mr Magic wrote:I'm confused.InkerSaint wrote:Sorry plugger, didn't mean to implicate you in the quote window vortex.plugger66 wrote:I was certainly talking salary cap.InkerSaint wrote:Not sure why we are talking about revenue raising when salary cap is the issue.saint58 wrote:Would love to take him if we had had the cash.plugger66 wrote:We would want to pay him a lot however we dont have a lot to pay him.Dr Spaceman wrote:He'll only be moving for big bucks.jonesy wrote:In a heartbeat,but can't see how,or it happening

Obviously the plan is to sign Silvia and have him change his name by deed poll to C. Ford Grandstand.

Dangerfield ... doesn't seem to win a lot of possessions but can do some remarkable things when he does.
If we can get him for $15,000/average match possession/year .. we'll be doing well.
This year (his best) he's averaging about 16 possessions /game x $15,000/possession = $240,000/annum. ..
plus let's throw in a bonus of $50,000 /average goal (1.2)= another $60,000.
So $300,000 /annum... he should be all smiles.

He wins plenty of contested posessions though. H probably needs to develop his outside game a bit but that will come. I'd love him at the Saints and it would be like having two BJ's in one team. I'm drooling just thinking about but it won't happen as he will cost too much and I'm not sure if he is the type of player we need.samoht wrote:Dangerfield ... doesn't seem to win a lot of possessions but can do some remarkable things when he does.

Would he be in the first 10 selected if on our list?SaintPav wrote:I'm drooling just thinking about but it won't happen as he will cost too much and I'm not sure if he is the type of player we need.
Then's he's the type of player we need.
Doesn't hurt that he can play midfield and forward. Would understand if we were talking about an expensive ruckman.

Our top 10 players would be paying a 50 cents in the dollar tax rate
So it's no skin off their nose if they chipped in and were to earn earn $350,000 say vs $360,000 on average - they'll just have 1 less latte/day.
They are dropping $10,000 gross - but it's only $5,000 net.
But for that - they get Dangerfield and a real chance at a flag.
Why not ?
The Pies players would be already making sacrifices... and they have tattoos to support.

Yep the pies players may be to keep players just as our players probably have to keep players. They arent going to do it for a player that would be about 10th picked. If he was going to be in the top 3 they may. And 5k for Ferguson is a lot more than 5k for Rooy or should he gave up 20K for a player that may make us just a little stronger.samoht wrote:Our top 10 players would be paying a 50 cents in the dollar tax rate

Well I think we have as much chance of getting Judd and Franklin as Dangerfield so I suggest we go after both of those.samoht wrote:Dangerfield is exactly the player we need and can afford with a small sacrifice.
A Judd is out of the question .. but Dangerfield has the explosive pace and can kick a goal or 2 a match .. we need that sort of player.
I'd like to see Thomas or Shaw trying to get away from him... they won't get far.
We cant afford Dangerfield and have no way of getting him and more importantly why would he come to us. Is it because he is a mate of Jack Steven? No I have decided Judd and Franklin and then the players may at least think about a drop in wage.
