Review Dangerfield: What's up?

[Team DJ]

I think in 1 or 2 years both of those players will be performing as A graders. Talia of course is doing well but will be even better if we can get him some support.

Talia is the best Key Back in the comp.
Tex with a preseason under his belt will be the best key forward. He's top 5 right now.

I think thats a fair call. We have runs on the board with him (first year) so I think we're entitled to be direct and expect a direct answer.

If says "Im staying", though, I'd be throwing a Buddy size contract at him.

-9.8%?

 

[King Elvis]

Don't think he is injured , just not a great player. The side currently has no A grade players which is our problem.

Short memory mate, 2012/2013, he was fantastic.

You don't come to have the hype that surrounds Dangerfield without having produced elite level football on a consistent basis.

It's true that I have seen some 'elite' football from Danger but never twice in two weeks.

2012 was amazing

Don't say that

Great player when he is on. Goes missing too much for mine. I worry long term about his sustainability in this league.

Personally feel the smartest thing this club could do is trade him this year.

I'm nearly with on this, but scared of what we'd get for him. Perhaps it would balance out the draft picks we didn't get... but would he start an exodus?
Id hate to see Rory Sloane leg-it for example.

Tex / Danger / Sloane are butt buddies. You don't break up butt buddies.

How would the players inside the club feel about that?

 

[Juragan Cendol]

I know most people are talking about his kicking. He needs to be more "centimetre perfect" rather than bombing or tumbling the ball forward to really be up there with the elites of the game. Great player with character, tries his best.

Yep
Danger is
1st in centre clearances
4th in clearances
1st in contested possesions
4th in inside 50s
Elite in disposals
4th in goals among mids

He's definitely not an elite player

I know those stats are flattering but his influence has been significantly less than in recent years. We can hope he can lead from the front in a big game vs North this week.

I think those stats show how good a player he is that even when he is having a bad year by his own standards that he is elite in quite a few of the key categories that we rate midfielders. If he can get fit and healthy and has a good pre season he should be back to his 2012/2013 form and one of the best players in the game

I know it speaks volumes of how good he is when he is elite in all those categories when it's been a "down year"

 

[billy fragos]

If danger has two 3 vote games to end the season will everybody stop scrutinising him

 

[Mattrox]

No. Because the club can't let him play injured to the detriment of his game ever again. Some scrutiny as to why this has happened has to be good.

498th in disposal efficiency.

498th in disposal efficiency.

Most in congestion but wow that is still shocking.

 

[Shoota Welsh]

not even half as fast as last year. i worry that not only does he need a rest, but the fact that he hasnt been rested means that his body is cooked and may never regain that speed again...

Crows still don't do enough work to protect him at the clearances. Stat before showed he's the most "under pressure" player in the league, which is usually is what leads to him just banging it on the boot and hoping it goes near a Crows player.

Where did you get that stat from?

Wow that takes me back to primary school :O
