Dangerfield has gone from averaging 1 tweet a day, something he has done all year and off season, to averaging 3 tweets a day this month. Has something happened where the constant "don't leave","come to the tigers", "can't wait to see you at the cats" replies he gets to every comment no longer bother him?
Pre-season has ended. Football season has started again. All the players are more active with banter between each other and journo's about football...

" If Hawthorn scored an end of first-round draft pick for Franklin — who was signed on one of the game’s richest contracts — Adelaide cannot expect better for Dangerfield."

They didn't. They got top tier, it just happened that they finished 1st so directly after their 1st round pick = end of first round. We will get straight after our pick.
Rucci's now backing us for the premiership.

Funny how he compares to buddy and not Frawley who gave Melbourne pick 3.

Rucci getting facts blatantly wrong.

The Showdown is the first biggest test for us in 2015, I think a better indication will be on May 30th. Not sure if the Power are traveling well or have played damn good opponents.
Bulldogs are undefeated & playing good footy...

No player must be kept at all costs.

it doesn't matter where the line is that the club is comfortable with is, just that they set boundaries and stay within them. When you start going down the "oh it's just another 2 years, or it's only about 400k per etc" then you end up in a spiral with everyone else.

Take DMac do you think other players and agents didn't look at that with interest?
I understand some posters view that we don't know the Dmac deal, because we don't. However, we can only discuss on reported figures, because fact is that almost none of us will ever see his contract signed by both parties. You could ask the man himself and whatever response he provides is still not certain.

But yeh, Reporting that Dmac has picked up $400k by 4 years woukd certainly results in every player manager comparing their client to him and asking, "where's our love?" Those that suggest it's a once-off, no problemo, you can overpay some guys, it's only $150k/year, clearly havent fully taken account of the restrictive nature of the salary cap. Further to that, apart from the COLA's, the recent behemoths of the comp have had players accept under's to remain with a team challenging for a flag. So if we burn $150k on Dmac, we need to claw back even more than that because the successful teams are paying unders. That's hard to do when a benchmark is set at players being over-paid.

It's the kind of mistake that an organisation makes when they haven't brought in any high level, fresh blood in their footy dept for a while.

The brownlow continues to diminish it's standing and reputation
I gave up caring when Wayne Carey finished his North Melbourne career without one. If he wasn't the most important player in the comp for half a decade, then I'm not drunk. Missing 1,2 or 3, sure, but if couldn't win one, then it's not worth winning. Although, both McKernan and Grant effectively won them, so I'm not sure where I'm going anymore. Maybe another drink.

The one that sticks out like a sore thumb there is mckay.
Looking at that leads to only one conclusion. Sign up your stars and consistently high performers first. However, to ease the pressure on developing youngsters, it's best to have a long term whipping boy. The only issue with our supportes is that Hartigan barely troubles the statistician in a PS game while blanketing Westhoff and his head is called for. This is because as a 10 gamer he's expected to do a damn sight more than just nullify an opponent. But not the 130 gamer, Dmac, nullify, that's now the name of the game.

If danger was to try to leave via fa, does anyone actually think we will match the offer?
Will depend on where we finish and the value/term, I would have thought. We wouldn't match a buddy type deal for length, but 4-5 years at that amount might not be out of the question. Although, I maintain that we overspend in the middle of our list which would make it hard to come up with that extra $200-$300k for the top 3 or so players.

So you didn't care when Roo won it? ;)


Too young to have any remember of Carey at his prime, but is there a possibility that he talked back with umpires a bit given it's warded to the best and fairest?
