Not as good as it can be but hardly terrible but inside work was great as usual.

Couldnt disagree more. If i was doing the Triple M Footy BonAirs. He'd get the 3. And not the good ones
He kicked the footy at 61%.
The lowest of ANY of our players.

Minus the disposal quality, yes he was..
Some of them kicks though..
Sam Shaw Luke Thompson like with the Footy

Contested situations don't help the stat don't they
I'm surprised his efficiency was even that high, but game pressure was low, allowing more of those chip kicks..
His kicks going forward though were pretty bad..
And they weren't in contests, he was just running alone and shanked the hell out of them..
Be nice if they can clean up his disposal, his damage on the opposition could go to competition highs..

6/10 of his kicks were ineffective though.
Long bomb kicks to contest still register as effective.
His disposal and decision making is deplorable and whether it is just sticking out to me more and more or its actually the case. Its only getting worse.
If you were Tex and Eddie up forward and saw the Footy in his hands, you would just stay still and wait to see where the shank went rather than lead and then have to double back because the kick went te wrong way

His kicks were bad but he broke the lines with his running

We've judged him too harshly this year when he clearly isn't right. Just hope he gets a big pre season to get fit and get rid of all the niggles and injuries. Needs to play more outside though.
Should Danger play predominantly forward?
He is a good kick from the set shot, has great hands in the marking contest, too quick on the lead for anyone.
Compliments Walker, Betts and Cameron nicely (different types of player)
It would allow an on-baller to rest when the ball is in the forward 50 while Danger can be the contested ball beast we know he is for less of the game. (kind of like having a forward who can ruck the forward 50 arc)
Also gives credence to keeping our contested ball brigade of Crouch brothers and Lyons.
It would definitely extend his career !!

Then you need to question why he has been playing. Is it the coaches, or is it Danger being selfish and refusing to sit a few games out?
I thought Patty was fine yesterday, geez he gets harshly judged on here.
Hasn't been his best year, but it's still been well above the norm of an average AFL player. He'll be back to beast mode in 2015, bookmark it.

I do sometimes wonder what Danger could do if he played permanently forward and we learnt to utilise him well. He is obviously a nightmare match up with his speed on the lead, his ability once the ball hits the deck and his overhead marking - which I think is an underrated part of his game.
Also playing forward would minimise the need for decision making and pinpoint disposal. Really becomes as simple as get ball, kick it through the middle for a lot of the time. I think that suits Danger pretty well.

With rumours of Beams heading to Brisbane - Collingwood will be looking for to top up their midfield with someone like Danger.
Plenty of items that would really interest me - Kennedy, Grundy, Broomhead, Scharenberg.....

The Coach picks the side, not the players.
IMO didn't have a very good year. Stats wise he compared with the best of the contested mids. But his effectiveness on games was, for the most part, not very high.
Niggles played a part as well as the borderline illegal attention he receives when going for the ball.
The obvious negative was that his kicking got worse. I used to defend it because he was capable of hitting up targets but was just inconsistent. This season you could be almost certain that his kick will not hit the target. Wasted a ridiculous amount of forward entries.
I actually think towards the end of the year he found more space on the outside like the coaches were looking for. This off season his main focus you be kicking on the run, especially to leads in the forward 50.
I'm not a danger basher. He's my favourite player. Just my opinion
