Is Dangerfield on our radar recruiting wise?
Would replace Judd when he retires...but here's wishing, although we would have a packet of money we could throw at him. 8)

How good would he be for us?

He'd almost make us top 6 on his own.

When are we going to completely ditch the 'throw money at the problem" mentality ??

It may have worked well for us in the old days but it is a different landscape now and the reality is that you need a greater spread of players to win it these days.

Forget Dangerfield, but Im not against trying to poach one of GWS's forwards come seasons end..  Then draft and trade for the rest..
Mick is good at searching for players at other clubs that will provide a role for his teams..

Landscape has changed again from 3 years ago. We can't model ourselves on what the approach was 10 years ago. We have money to spend, what do you do with it? Keep it and give it to Swann as a bonus?

If we can find $700k to throw at a one legged ex-pie we can find $800k to throw at a 24 year old match winning bull.

there's some slack in the list that might get it done without effecting the integrity of the list as a whole. Kruizer and the future contracting of Waite should be critically reviewed for starters.

I believe Waite might be on a fair bit (someone correct me if wrong).

At a guess he'd be on at least 400 and Kruizer's likewise ?

I thought closer to 600k. I might be wrong.

You might be right. Combine those together and there's a decent war chest. The Kruizer, more than the Waite, situation is a worry AFAIC. HoW long do you wait before biting the bullet.

Based on the fine the club gave him last year and the rules in the player contracts which specifies the fine conditions, his salary is about 500k. It may be backloaded so maybe more this year.

Even at the lowest end, those 2 combined are likely to provide better value in the way of an earlier draft pick, an additional spot on the list, and additional currency to throw at a top notch player. With Kruizer especially, it's gotta be better value for the club to cash in rather than having his wage and list spot tied up in a recovery ward.

I wandered in to the Kulgera Roadhouse bar for happy hour and the last half was showing on a fairly small TV.  There were three Adelaide supporters in the bar and five Carlton supporters.  They gave it to us when Eddie scored but it was great to have the last laugh.

My view of the action wasn't that good, the position of the screen rather than the number of beers, but it seemed to me that Dangerfield lacks awareness for a bloke who is supposed to be a gun  :-\

Great win by the boys, particularly with Henderson not getting near the ball.  It was particularly pleasing to see Docherty, Menzel and Everitt doing well and Thomas went pretty close to earning his pay.
