Mate, if you reckon we are 1 Patrick Dangerfield away from a premiership, you've got to be kidding yourself. I myself have highlighted how much Danger could lift our club, but we still wouldn't be anywhere near a flag contender.
Even Gary Ablett, in the top 5 players of all time hasn't carried the Suns anywhere near glory in their 5 year history, in fact they haven't even made the top 8. It would be foolish to think that one player can improve a team by such a large increment.
However, I do agree that with a fit Duncan, Hawkins, Selwood, Vardy etc etc etc .... And significant improvement from Gregson, Lang, Cockatoo, etc etc etc....by securing Danger we could slot ourselves into tthe top 4, but how often does it occur that things play out so nicely for footy clubs? Posters have been saying that since 2012: "oh, just wait till next year, when we have a fit list and when player X comes back, we'll be much better placed". The fact that we've got to live with is that we will almost never have a fully fit list, and players will be missing, but we have to be good enough to cover those holes and play well enough to win a premiership.
