Geez I hope we are right up to our ears with Dangerfield.
38 disposals, 29 contested 9 clearances with 8 tackles.........God help me.
Wasn't there something like a 70/30 swing Sloane's way in a recent "who would you prefer - Sloane or Dangerfield" debate on this board last week? I'm positive there were many many posters saying Danger was over rated and we don't want/need him. I wonder how that poll would look after Saturday night.
Again, I'll hold out hope that we can somehow be in the market for Danger as a free agent in a few months time.
If he like Shiel values success over money then it has to be Waverley over the Cattery. I understand the family / Moggs Creek connection but wasn't Buddy always going to GWS for money, Tippett always back to QLD for family reasons, Mitch Clark to Freo for family reasons!
I won't give up on the idea...not until he is signed. He is EXACTLY what we need, someone who can will himself on the contest and stamp his authority on a game. Also plays midfield, forward and back (ie perfect replacement for Burgoyne).
If we landed Dangerfield as a free agent and paid generous overs in a trade for a Caleb Marchbank (I'm very keen but still using him as an example only) then that would be the perfect trade period for us...as we have made a habit of doing in the past.
