McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
If we end up with Paddy this year, would we make a big play for Dangerfield at the end of 2015? He's out of contract then and he appears to have resisted the Crows attempts to extend. Could this be the strategy? Imagine adding Dangerfield to our midfield. I think if we could pull it off we'd forget about Petracca fairly quickly. Discuss.

Dangerfield wants to play finals… I highly doubt he would choose to come to us next year when we'll be lucky to win 3 games.
If this is the "strategy" we are f***ed.

Money talks louder than finals. We'll have plenty of room in the SC, plus with him on board and a group of classy youngsters, we'll be closer to finals than many think. It will be 2016 and Danger will have the opportunity to lead us back into the eight, either then or in 2017. It's not unrealistic.

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
Trading in one or more classy Free Agents over the next couple of years is at the very top of the club's strategy. I am amazed at how little some of you blokes know about your own club.

Have to agree with BM. Dangerfield is no hope. Geelong or Adelaide.

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
Why would Dangerfield come to us???
He could get what we'd be offering at any club pushing for finals....we're a slowly rebuilding basketcase.

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
I didn't say he specifically ruled out St Kilda, but I have heard him talk about wanting to know the direction of the club and that he wants to be playing in successful sides. I have heard this a number of times…White Winmar wrote:Oh yes, which ones would they be? Can you give us some links? I'm calling bulls***. He's never specifically said he'd never come to the saints.

Here is one article:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/a ... 6920625678
Adelaide superstar Patrick Dangerfield says loyalty and success drives his football, unlikely to accept lucrative free agency offers
“It’s not about money. It’s about what really drives me. What I get most enjoyment from is success.
“I don’t play the game to make enormous amounts of money. Certainly That’s part of footy and we get paid really well, but that isn’t the driving factor behind why I play AFL and where I’ll play footy in the future.
“It comes from mum and dad ... if money is the driving factor in life, you’re never going to be happy because you’ll always want more.’’
We will be 18th next year, bottom 4 again in 2016… so I am guessing that isn't very attractive to a 26 year wanting to move to a more successful club… I'm tipping he re-signs with Adelaide long term and becomes their captain.
It's a nice fantasy though, just like my one about Miranda Kerr.

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
Why would Boyd go to the ultimate losers, the dogs? One word. Money. Don't underestimate greed. We're as good a chance as anyone because we can offer him the dough. Makes it hard to say no. I know Geelong would be his first preference as it's a homecoming of sorts, but never underestimate greed and self interest. Just think of Gary Ablettfugazi wrote:Why would Dangerfield come to us???

Junior. Could've played in a premiership and finals, but chose the money instead.

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
Agreed and surely not...It would be an almost BJ-esque play to the Dons.

It needs to be a young and pissed off kid/kids that we can throw additional coin at. This is where the expansion clubs are ripe for the picking and rightly so.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: McCartin this year, Dangerfield next year?
So he didn't specifically mention us. A lot can change in twelve months. He had the chance to re-sign and extend his contract this year. The fact he didn't smacks of someone who is going to test the market next year.White Winmar wrote:Oh yes, which ones would they be? Can you give us some links? I'm calling bulls***.
