Dangers a gun and will go down as an all time great of 2 clubs + the league in general.

Let’s not pretend he hasn’t gone missing in far more finals games than he has performed in. The 2022 GF and this years prelim are pretty big outliers.

I know 3 finals in particular where he did diddly squat 

Can always count on him for a flop free kick and goal 25m out right in front though.

If we want to stand on Danger objectively, he’s one of the most overrated players in the game.
Has 8 AA’s which is actually laughable.

A brilliant turn of foot, one of his generation’s best marks for his size but gee whiz if I had a dollar for every time he bursts clear from a clearance and blasts the ball out of the full.

Seriously, the man is a turn over merchant. If he was a Tiger player, he’d be our favourite whipping boy…

Terribly accurate take

Fixed for ya

Claiming danger would be viewed like ralphsmith, Ross, grigg, Chaplin, short and whoever else is classed as a whipping boy.

One of the worst calls in this websites history and there has been some stinkers.

Wtaf are you talking about??? I never said that lol


Great player. Gun.

Regardless, I think he's generally overrated during his career - similar to Naicos, but not as bad.

I think he's over the hill and won't consistently be able to get them over the line, even though he had 1 amazing game in the second half of the 2025 season for the Preliminary Final, and therefore shouldn't be relied upon to keep winning them clutch games - such as the grand final where you could clearly see how past it he was.


Yeah he'll sit in the forward line, jag a few goals in a top 4 team beating up on some minnows, have the odd day out where he winds back the clock and gets 30 touches etc. Doesn't mean you keep building premiership plans around him LOL

Always had a soft spot for him so happy he has another season. In saying that i think he is lucky.
I think he is just too small have stood next to him a few times and i just shake my head.

Good to hear. Absolutely worth persisting with this kid

What do you like about smith ?

Just not sure I see anything worthwhile in him, admittedly thought the same about banks but there sure as hell not room for both

Consistently tears it up at VFL level and I think he's worth a shot in the midfield. He's been on the list two years only, is be giving him another year or two to see if he can bridge the gap to AFL

2026 will actually be his 4th year. Taken in the 2022 draft

I'm genuinely surprised he's been re-contracted.

You're right about him being good at VFL level. That's what I call him "betwixt and between". Too good for VFL but not good enough for AFL.

Will repeat what I posted a few months back. His decsion making is poor. And it's that I reckon will stop him from making it at AFL level. Hope I'm wrong

His 2023 and 2024 were heavily compromised with injury.

For what its worth i agree its his decision making does not do the instinctive atm and second guesses which gets him into trouble, along with his size that holds him back.

Imo not a mid per say HB or Wing is the go and he has very good attributes for both roles. Ball is in his court now reckon next year is make it or go home.

This is annoying, bad list management imho. We could have kept him , or traded him . Now he goes to another club for nothing. It may be the case for Kosi too. Why let them go without trying to get a very late pick back as we need the points for Kellaway.

So your suggesting we give contracts to players we don't want and are rated behind too many others.

What usually happens is delisted players get picked up as dfa's for nothing.

What is happening here is supporters are greatly over estimating players on the list in this case Blight, Koschitzke and Young.

When a key position player can't get a game in a team that's being smashed by injuries there has to be something wrong.  The club do know what the problem is & they are happy to let him go for nothing, that would be his worth then - nothing.  What was obvious is that 'the boy can play', yet there is a problem big enough to just let him go ...   

Would have thought if a defender is not getting a game its about other defenders. Truth be told our defense was pretty darn stable all year.

He got a crack early rounds 2 - 6 in Balta's absence suspension,  he was never going to be played in front of Balta.

He then played rounds 17 and 18 with Balta and Miller and they clearly did not like that set up prefering Young for the rest of the season and he made a pretty good fist of it.
He was clearly over taken by young. Not a world beater himself.
You then have 21yo  Gray who showed heaps and a real upside and thats what we are currently about picking players with real upside and a potential higher ceiling and the returning Gibcus and its the same scenario.

We have not done enough imo as far as list turnover goes, if i was gunna be critical, its that, not letting go of borderline players when we have a whole heap of similar types with higher ceilings.

So Collingwood want him good on em i hope he has a great career with them but atm he is not a good fit for us.

Collingwood and KPD'S geez they should be desperate to get two or three on their list i only see Moore and Frampton.
Would not be surprised to see a player like May end up with them.
