How'd he go in the GF? Haha

Better a year early than a day late, as they say...

Averaged 15 disposals and kicked 30 goals, as well as doing plenty of the hard stuff

Difference between your ridiculous comment that he is "finished" and the logic that they should manage him better ..

You realise he has never played less than 16 games in a season since his first year ?

If they look after him, he will be a very good player again next year .. and as for the GF, he was cactus .. fired his shot the week before single handedly dragging them over the line .. that says more about his teammates than it does Danger

Hyperbole over your head.

Anyway, he couldn't back it back after a full week break. Faded throughout the year and unsighted when it mattered most. Heck even cotch could wind back the clock with 25-30 touches here and there when he was finito.

Yeah he'll jag goals in a top 4 side but largely speaking he's caput.

Yep
Over my head

Career journo and managing editor .. but yep , you’ve got me covered

Mate , if you were talking doctor/nursing skills, I agree, you would have me covered .. straight over my head with the lingo etc

But when it comes to Danger, we don’t agree, simple as that

Dangerfield will never be the midfielder who lifts his side over the line week in week out anymore. I mean finished like that.

He can still wind back the clock sometimes, jag a few goals in a top 4 side, and he still gets the Dangerflop frees in front of goal 25m out.

But if the cats want to compete they'll need to rely on someone else.

He is playing forward.

He got 60 goals / assists and +15 touches and is very good on the eye test.

They have Cameron and curnow to 'rely' on and a skew of other 40+ goal a season guys

Agree 100%

The bloke is an A grade flog and easy to hate, which clouds judgement regarding how good he is

Been an absolute champion and is still a very good player in his new role

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…
"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”

Yeah and he's a H&A hero too.

Not taking away from his PF performance but using that as an excuse for him still being a gun is silly.

It was a gun performance from a guy with all the brains and skill but his body is mostly past it.

I’m no a fan of his and think he is a sniper but half agree.
 He is past his best but as a pinch hitter and mentor I would keep him on the list for a year or two.

Terrible take
