Fairly impressive season. Winning a final no doubt exceeded expectations and heading in the right direction.
Will be a much tougher season next year in regards to a harder draw and probably no Dangerfield, and I wouldn't expect the likes of teams just outside the 8 like Port and Geelong go backwards.
I think when you jag whoever it is to coach, he must bring a big name recruit with him to cover the loss of Dangerfield. Plus B.Crouch must get on the park.

So Best and Fairest on Saturday night, Brownlow next Monday, Danger sends a tweet to his mates on Tuesday morning?

yeah wouldnt disagree with this.

If danger leaves, making the 8 again would be great going imo. Hopefully we can match their offer though, which will mean we will most likely get two first rounders from them.

I reckon we need to throw everything at Bennell. Outside ball using class is what we need. And possibly even Dixon. I know he has said he wants to come to port adelaide but nothing says we couldnt trump them. Though he probably doesnt offer THAT much over jenkins

Also agree with getting crouch on the park. If he can play a full season that will go a long way to offsetting the loss of danger

I don't think anyone on Adelaide's list at the moment comes even close to replacing Dangerfield. Not even close.

There's no doubt speed will be the first thing Adelaide chase, Bennell offers that but comes with baggage.

Of course not, its pretty hard to replace who most would consider one of the top 5 players in the game.

But if we get Crouch on the park, and manage to get Geelong's first pick in this years and next years drafts (this may be wishful thinking, i dunno), it will effectively mean 3 extra first round draft picks into our team, given Crouch would have gone first round had he not been a 17 year old mini draft selection.

I think it will hurt more in 2 years time when thompson also retires, because that would leave a ton of work to sloane on the inside.

You think two more out of Thompson? I think next year will be it for him.

You'll soon be able to watch Dangerfield rip it from the centre square contest, turn at speed and kick it to nobody on the half forward flank / wing. It's thrilling to watch. :lol:

And a big well done to Travis Boak who made more clangers than Danger in 2015 despite getting a lot less of it.

You would think so. It'd be a bit awkward if he announces this week he is leaving then goes onto to win the BnF and the Brownlow.

Yes. He will be replacing Poulos who was told a few weeks ago that there isn't a position for him.

With Dangerfield set to move and Adelaide most likely to match the offer and go to the trade table, what would Adelaide be after?

For mine, I think they should target Jordan Murdoch as the player and settle on a second round pick to go with him if they can't get a first round pick and Murdoch.

Thoughts?

I'd highly doubt the Crows could match the Cats price.

Johnsons contract would have freed up a fair bit of cap space wouldn't it?

If they can match it why not keep him.
