Pain can drive him as much as it wants. We haven't got the tools in the box... It's that simple.

And until Scott is sacked it'll remain that way.
Reckon it's hard to disagree with that. Without Dangerfield in 2016 I think Geelong were borderline to even make the 8. Will they improve again in 2017...

Maybe, but then again I seen Motlop, Duncan and co completely ignored at times so whose to say they wouldn't have been better.

He believed the hype and thought that was their chance.

Now the teams gone backwards this off season
Are you saying he was wrong?

I don't get this black and white attitude that basically says "well if you didn't actually win the comp, you were never any chance of winning the comp."

We were 3rd ffs

You were an overachieving 3rd...could have easily finished 6 or something without Smiths kick missing.

Said all season the team had holes everywhere...which showed when it mattered.

Danger hype train was stupid from the start

And could have easily made the.grand final if we avoided the swans. and could have avoided smith's kick if motlop goes out of bounds.

How was the hype train stupid?
Yeah well gee sorry Patrick, we only jumped up 7 places since you arrived so just f*** off back to Adelaide.

Fmd.

Geelong won't be anywhere near the 8 next year

1 man team who just lost a few key players and Caddy. 14th for mine and they're 1 Danger injury away bottom 2.
He must be the greatest player of all time as the Cats rose from 10th to 3rd in a single season! That's one player i want playing for us....

He gives it 100% every game but needs more help. Other players need to step up and they will be a better chance.

Geelong really only made the top 4 last season cause of their Kardinia Park advantage, which is a massive leg up on other Vic clubs, it they played all home games at a neutral/50-50 stadium like Docklands or The G, they would struggle to make the 8.

His best bet to win a flag was staying with Adelaide

Dangerfield and Selwood are the best midfield combination in the league. They'll remain in the top 8 while those two are on the park. Taylor and Henderson in the air down back were also a formidable duo.

But the rest of the cats lineup is pretty flimsy, especially without Enright as a mid-sized back.

Forward line is putrid. Cats might need Dangerfield forward more than they need him in midfield.

Story is a bit of fluff. I'm sure Dangerfield is disappointed but if he was so keen on winning a flag he would have stayed at Adelaide. Each to their own but he has quite obviously chosen life style first,football success second. Geelong could sneak into the eight definitely but there's no flag up for grabs for a few years yet.
