Noticed he spent a bit of time in our goal square on the weekend. Even the commentators where saying “Hawkins is on fire and they’ve moved Patrick to the goal square”? I think he is carrying an injury. I’d love to see him play out of the goal square with Constable replacing him in the midfield... but that ain’t going to happen....
You may certainly be right. Cause I remember that State of Origin match at the start of the year and when he got going he was outstanding. Thought he actually turned the match Victoria's way singlehandedly. So I don't think he's lost anything.

He has been poor since the resumption, for a player of his calibre he hasnt shown anything near his best, almost like he is just going through the motions a lot of the time, needs a kick up the ass and to bring some intensity like he used to, he is losing the aura he once had.

He'd need to have a poor season to lose his aura and I can't see that happening.
 
Martin just doesn't have the same team to work with at the minute which is why he doesn't look anywhere near as brilliant.
Injuries are hitting Richmond in recent seasons.

It kind of makes me appreciate guys like Simon Black, Nathan Buckley, Matty Richardson even more. They had to spend a good portion of the back of their careers in truly woeful teams and they still starred on a weekly basis without very little dip in their usual brilliance.
Buckley only played around 40 games after the 2003 grand final. Hardly a good portion.

I hope they're not fixated on him becoming a star forward again. He's a midfielder first and foremost. The occasional rest sure, but no more than that.

Some great posts in this thread. They looked stupid 4 hours ago and now they look a bit worse.

*Checks for posts in thread...none...

Can we keep this "Danger down on form" guy, along with "struggling Ablett" in our side - both seemed to go ok

hey, since I posted it he played a ripper game.

probably googles weekly Patrick dangerfield or has himself google tagged for alerts and it fired him up.

give me some credit!

maybe this thread is a lucky charm

& to be fair he did have a drop in form! He is normally absolutely outstanding every single week.
Nothing wrong the thread at all. Dunno why people are getting all snippy.
 
Was good tonight. Was average for the month before. Also has been very average overall in most finals he has played
Was in our best v Hawthorn R2.

As for finals, lets look more closely:

2016 QF win over Hawks - Danger named in our best.
2016 PF loss to Swans - Danger named our best performer.
2017 QF - big loss to Tigers, but Danger still named in our "best".
2017 2nd Semi win over Swans - Danger easily BOG.
2017 PF - big loss to Crows but Danger named in our best five, with 2 goals
2018 EF loss to Demons - Danger named our "best" performer
2019 QF loss to Pies - Danger named our "best" player
2019 2nd Semi win v WCE - average performance by Dangerfield
2019 PF loss to Richmond - Danger went missing in 2H


I reckon we would not have won last night but for Dangerfield. As I said in my MVP votes he was THE catalyst.
