Will believe it when it actually eventuates.

Probably because he's a grub, playing amazing footy though, great for the Bombers

He seems to be the only AFL player in history that people are mad he cheated on his missus

Ha, can you imagine. 70% of players at every club would be run out of town.

"A man is basically as faithful as his options."

 

[Shane Heard]

No one in the league plays that role so consistently. I don’t even subscribe to the Dangerfield cult myself but for years he’s been able to go from one to the other when needed so I doubt he’d find it impossible to play a hybrid role of both. He was the best midfielder on the ground on Saturday and also provided a threat up forward. I’m sure there are many players from other teams who have done it. Hell Ablett kicked 44 goals in a season while averaging 30 touches a game (yes I know he’s retired).

why is the fan base of AFL so prone to hyperbole?

You’re talking rubbish mate

Dangerfeld is no genuine forward

the bloke can’t kick a set shot to save himself

Stringer can kick them from all points of the compass

just accept that Jake is a gun and make a cup of milo

Worse things have been done by footballers, both current and ex, than cheating on your missus.

Carey
Mattthews
Ablett Sr
Ablett Jr
Martin
Stringer

Carey glassed his missus

Matthews deregistered from the comp

Ablett snr loved the Persians

Martin tried to stab some bird with a chop stick

Jakey and Gaz jnr don’t belong on this list

 

[Shane Heard]

Gaz Snr let a young girl die in a hotel room from a heroin overdose

People forget that ..

Between the start of round 1 2019 and round 6 this year, Stringer’s set shot accuracy was 53 per cent. Dangerfield’s was 47. (I have no idea how to find the set shot stats since then as the page only goes up to then).

Paying someone to have an abortion is pretty normal I guess

No they don’t. His name doesn’t get mentioned without it being brought up

All
forwards miss a few

Jake nails them when the pressure is on and we need the goal

Stringer is having one hell of a year and needs to be taken seriously.

As I said, plenty of worse stuff has gone on, but hey, knock yourself out hating him.

Don’t think you needed to be to have a stance on bribing someone to avoid having an already conceived child.

Bribing someone? You know of this first hand yes?

Wasn’t that the whole scandal? He cheated on his partner, knocked up the other girl and then paid her off to keep the whole affair under wraps and have an abortion? Or am I imagining that (serious question - that’s what I thought I recalled reading at the time)

Never heard of the abortion, just that he slept with a 17yr old.

Maybe I am confusing him with someone else. Apologies if I am.
Probably an NRL player

Cheatings fine, school kids, not so much, legal or not

If it's legal, why isn't it ok? He was what, 22-23 at the time?

Just seems people are using it to hate on a guy for no reason other than he annoys them during a game of footy
