Dangerield is a more impactful player and more versatile but does more clamgers/poor disposals and has poorer leadership skills. Depends on what you want a leader and a competitor or a bull who might win you games off his own boot. Given we've won 3 and he's won none I think the answer is clear. Bulls can get stopped, even great ones, leaders still lead.

Actually as far as bulls are concerned I'd take G Ablett Jnr over Danger at their peaks. He was untackleable and didn't do clamgers. But I'd take Ling as a leader over Jnr.

No Brainer, Dangerfield has proven to be a flop under pressure.

Trent is The Man

Trent's best was about as good as dangers.

But 2017 is the reason why he is a better player and a better team mate.

Sacrificed his own personal game for the team and it led to a golden era. Dangerfield would never do that.

Noone bursts clear from a pack and kicks the skin off the ball out of bounds like Danger
