ADELAIDE midfielder Patrick Dangerfield says it is completely in the hands of the club as to whether his name is raised as a trade option.
The 24-year-old Victorian will qualify for free agency at the end of 2015, and a trade this off-season would ensure the Crows get appropriate value for their superstar.
So far Dangerfield has indicated he wants to remain at the Crows, but speculation about discontent within the playing group has intensified since coach Brenton Sanderson's shock dismissal last week.
But the dynamic on-baller says many comments have been well off the mark.
"It's all speculation. Anything can be written but at the end of the day, what's said and done behind closed doors is a different thing," Dangerfield told AFL.com.au.
"It's up to (list manager) David Noble and the rest of the recruiting staff (whether I'm traded)."
Dangerfield said he understood conjecture about his contract would only intensify the longer he remained unsigned.
"It's only going to get worse," he said.
"I'm contracted for the next 12 months, as are Sloaney (Rory Sloane) and Tex (Taylor Walker) so it'll all work itself out."
