Dangerous Expectations..............

[Geoffa32]

It would seem Patrick has the most nicknames of any player yet to debut.

Keeping in mind that our kids rarely debut and star, what are our realistic expectations for today??

For me its around 10 possies, maybe a goal and a nice run from half back.

For that matter, where do we reckon he will spend most of his day (on field time that is).

I expect about 10 possessions also. The other players will try to bring him into the game imo but i doubt he will get enough game time to get any more possies than that.

 

[crowman_23]

5 Kicks, 6 Handballs, 1 Mark.

Maybe half a game on the ground. Will be interesting to see how much game time Craigy gives him.

 

[macca23]

Depends on how much game time he gets and what position he plays.

I'd rather judge him after the game - not before.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Frankly I don't care how well he plays ..........he will be a very good player so in the scheme of things today is irrelevant

Has he the most hype of any Crows player collected in the draft and yet to debut ......I can't think of another?

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Similar expectations to everyone else. The only way he would surpass them is with a couple goals in limited time, thus extending his TOG.

Either way he will fill a role in a 22-player structure that has been working well despite injuries every week. If we can stay injury free, it will mean less time for Danger but should allow us to run out the game well and win.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

Don't care, happy he is getting a run.

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Good luck to him. You guys don't really need to worry about his first game, he is going to end up as a star!!

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Good luck to him. You guys don't really need to worry about his first game, he is going to end up as a star!!

Cheers

I am very happy he is getting a run!
And I agree with Houli2Grumbleton.. he will turn into a star.. dont worry about his first game

 

[Chief Crow]

I think around 15 possies and a goal. Will probably play play in BVs role as a half forward who will rotate through the midfield

 

[seababoon]

ding.. one possession.. how the hell did he stand up and dish the hand pass off

 

[King Elvis]

5 Kicks, 6 Handballs, 1 Mark.

Maybe half a game on the ground. Will be interesting to see how much game time Craigy gives him.

Which will depend on the closeness of the game; if we're carving it up, I think he'll get a lot more game time.

Also, purely for the awesomeness, we need to recruit Steele Sidebottom, so we can have him and Danger.

Maybe approach Collingwood for Goldsack as well.

FIRST KICK IN AFL IS A GOAL!

Cmon Dangerfield! Look at his team mates get around him!

A star is born.

Sometimes a kid doesn't need 20 possesions to show you how much of a star he is.

Absolute quality. Standing up in tackles, great hands, and drilling through the goal on the half time siren.

Class.

I was gonna start a thread with your first line...


Very impressed, more so with the stand up in the tackle than anything else.
