Hey guys, I just wanted to start this post by saying that I come in peace and I mean no offence when I state the following thoughts.
I am basically completely dumbfounded as to why the majority of you are so firmly against the idea of trading picks 2 and 3 for Dangerfield. I understand you guys would much prefer to offer less and only have the clubs best interests at heart, however, to recruit a contracted superstar such as Dangerfield you simply have to give up quality.
Dangerfield is an out and out gun and I am sure you all know what he can do on field but he would bring just as much to the Dee's off field as on in regards to the marketability he would bring to the club in addition to improved membership and fans through the gate on game day figures.
Draft picks 2 and 3 seems like a hefty price to pay, however, it is important to remember that you are receiving a guaranteed young superstar in return. The draft picks may end up as duds as well and no offence but the Dee's do not have the best track record as of late when it comes to developing young talent. McCartin could be the new Watts and Brayshaw could be the new Toumpas(No offence to Watts and Toumpas who I actually rate and believe could still forge quality careers, particularly Toumpas).
The reason I have felt the need to post this slightly condescending post(Which is unintended, trust me) is because I value the history and culture that the Melbourne Demons bring to the AFL and it would be fantastic to watch them climb their way back up the ladder towards success. Patrick Dangerfield would help them do that and he would be an outstanding addition to the Melbourne footy club both on and off field.
