Patrick Dangerfield

[Snarls Barkley]

All year I’ve been hearing the debate whether Tom Mitchell’s volume possessions are actually helping his team win games. Hawthorn have a record of 9-4 whenever Mitchell has 30 possessions or more and a 4-3 record when he doesn’t reach 30 possessions.

I think with all the Mitchell debate one volume possession winner has gone under the radar. Patrick Dangerfield has had 30 plus possessions six times this year. In these games Geelong have a record of 0-6! Geelong have a record of 10-3 when Dangerfield has less than 30 possessions.

Question has to be asked whether Dangerfield getting a heap of possessions is actually a benefit for Geelong.

I think they'd be far better off if he only got 28.

Danger is BOG today. Mitchell getting nice numbers but has had 0 influence.

Silly timing to start this thread.

What?

Mitchell's numbers were down this week. Still managed 32 touches, 5 clearances, 6 inside 50's while getting hard tagged all day. Not saying he was BOG or anything but he did a brilliant job playing a selfless role while getting tagged.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Danger is simply immense. It's hardly his fault, it's the rest of the team and their tactics that are to blame.

 

[Juddernaut08]

What?.

Did I stutter?

I said he had nice numbers, despite not having any influence.

Danger was noticeably dominant.

Lol you can't leave a Mitchell thread alone

Danger is an amazing player

I'd suggest it is some of those around him that are letting the side down

Duncan hopeless.

Danger was great for the Cats, but if you think Mitchell was not having an influence you are kidding ya self. He tackling and pressure alone was elite.

 

[Wojcinski]

Danger is fine, the problem lies with about 12 other blokes that play along side him.

The OP makes a valid point and everybody completely ignores it.

Never change, bigfooty.

 

[Tulip]

Dangerfield is a very good player. That stat seems like a misnomer. Perhaps they play better when he comes out the square, but they feel he's too important against good midfields?

Tactics are fine. Execution is the problem.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Tactics are fine. Execution is the problem.

Fair enough. Either way it's not Danger's fault, which was my point.

 

[JackFlash]

Unfortunately Dangerfield plays for a very average team, Geelong are like a "journeyman" fighter, they are competitive up to a point. They are not a contender, their sole purpose is like a sparring partner or punching bag, they're a workout for better teams.

Should've come to a Melbourne club.

 

[radiojake]

Should've come to a Melbourne club.

it was Geelong or Adelaide

the city of Melbourne wasn't in the equation

 

[SSSSSS]

Danger was BOG today but it baffles me how he has his own set of rules to play with.

He's a gun and doesn't need the extra assistance.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Should've come to a Melbourne club.

He didn’t come to Cats to play in flags. He wanted to be closer to his family.

Yep, tough to split Gawn & Grundy on who’s the best ruck in the comp

 

[Gypsy King]

Good individual player. Adelaide got better when he left and Geelong would probably be better without him. Footy is a team sport.

Silly post. Geelong would have lost by 10 goals without him.

How effective do you think Danger's disposals usually are? Him getting that many might also be indicative of an over reliance on him too, not sharing it around enough.

Ridiculous thing to say considering you dont know that. Just stupid.
