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'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

"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
