Appreciation thread for one of the best and most loyal Brisbane Lions players post premiership era if not all time. Been one of my favourites since we drafted him with pick 7 in 2008(Time flies, feels like just yesterday he was shaking Vossy's hand on draft day in a Lions polo!) and one of the...
A great achievement. Hasn't necessarily turned out to be the player we all hoped he would in his early days, however, he has still rejected the lure of returning home to WA and remained here in Brisbane as a loyal servant of the Brisbane Lions footy club during a bleak period. He has also worked...
Hearing this from the source who correctly predicted at the start of the 2014 season that Dangerfield would be exiting the Crows at the end of the 2015 season. Very similar situation in that Rich is adamant he will complete the year left on his current contract and will then test the free agency...
I propose that the new measurement for assessing how high you or a friend are should be based on the aforementioned scale. Have you even seen such a demonstration of trying to act sober while clearly being 100% whacked?

What can be said? Absolutely sucks, i wish him the best recovery.
...player drafted after him in 2009.
One that hasn't been mentioned at length was the decision to take Yarran ahead of a highly rated DanielRich. Whilst Rich isn't an elite player, I can't help but think he would've been a huge asset to Carlton, which have continually struggled to find elite...
Seriously, how good was he tonight? Had patches were Geelong dominated to much for his effectiveness to really show, but he played a role tonight we dont normally see of him. And it looks like it could do him a world of good.
He coped heaps of critisim of his midfield game, but this new...
Both went #7 in the 2007 and 2008 drafts.
Both have won NAB rising star award
Palmer has played 72 games and kicked 36 goals
Rich has 86 games and 55 goals.
If you had the choice between the two who would you pick?
DanielRich has always promised much. Selected 7th in the 2008 draft, he was highly rated. He won the rising star and the AFLPA's best first year player. Carlton were maligned by some for picking Yarran over Rich, and Fremantle faced a similar response to their decision to pick Hill over Rich...
Cannot shake a tag, make way for a real player... the benchmark of the competition for the next 10 years.
Prepare to be decimated by the true kings of Queensland pussy cats!
Surely has been done before, both similar in age, both average in the high teens/low twenties in possessions and both are damaging goal-kicking type mids. Who is better and why?
...little down, which is odd for him but we know how talented he is in that department and it is probably just a consequence of him operating at a higher intensity than he is used to, he'll adjust.
Overall, I love me some DanielRich, and he would be polling very well in our best and fairest so...
Both peaked in their rookie seasons and now its all downhill.
Came in with ready made AFL bodies which meant they could go from day 1, but both their games have no scope for improvement.
Neither player has any versatilty or X factor, and they are predictable as you can get.
The fact the...
I do not like the silence with regards to the re-signing of DanielRich.
If GWS can come and take any of our out-of-contract players from our less than rich coffers, then the AFL Commission have a lot to answer for.
I think Brisbane paid enough to the Suns ranks and there should be a limit...
Rich's manager is in negotiations that will see the Brisbane midfielder sign a new deal with the Lions.
All this talk on here about him going to go to West Coast and this happens.
His ability to cover the ground has improved enormously and he has always been a deadly kick and superb...
Mick Maguane was saying on radio this morning that he believes danial Rich has already signed with GWS.
Does anyone know anything?
it came from a ex collingwood player so hopefully its wrong
What's going on with this bloke? I remember some saying that he was such a ready made footballer after his draft year and that there wasn't a whole lot of upside. Are they being proven correct, still too early or just in bad form? He had a great debut season, was inconsistent last year and looks...
...have been circulating for over 3 months now and it seems like things have finally started to take motion.
As most people know by now DanielRich has already privately stated his preference to join West Coast as his family has pleaded for him to return home if given the chance. Wont go...
If DanielRich wants to go to Freo who would you trade to the Lions for him?
A freo support came on the Lions board and said Rhys Palmer to the Lions and Rich to Freo.

Interesting acrticle in the Sunday Times. He comes out of contract at the end of this season and is hesitant about re-signing with the Lions.
Obviously GWS have the best chance and perhaps they...
When is he out of contract?
Apparently Lions have cap problems. I'd be in his ear. If he's contracted I'd be trying to convince to tell Voss that once his contract is up he is going home. Might force the Lions to offload him now.
