In my opinion, if Dangerfield leaves the Crows (a proposition that seems to be more likely with every passing week), it would seriously hurt the Crows a lot more then Ablett leaving Geelong or Hawthorn losing Buddy.
My perception is that the Cats and Hawks reluctantly accepted their marquee players were leaving during their season, and just got on with it, but the Crows are fighting tooth and nail to keep Danger.
It would be an unmitigated disaster from a PR point of view if Dangerfield leaves, esp if Port make or win this year's flag.
It's more then losing Dangerfield's onfield talents that would wound the Crows.
If the best player from the main club in Australia's 2nd biggest footy state doesn't 'buy into' Walsh and Riccuito's vision for the Crows future, who will ?
Unlike Buddy and Ablett's departures Dangerfield's decision simply won't be based on financial gain. The club's administration and credibility is on the line, the club has barely gotten over Tippet-Gate yet .
FYI I honestly hope he stays in Adelaide, its not a good look for the AFL to have a big name star leave their club every year...
