Crows fan finally accepts Patrick Dangerfield is leaving

88 Comments

Passionate Crows fan Margret Wilton says she is now willing to concede that Patrick Dangerfield will not play for Adelaide this season.

“The signs are all there if you know what to look for,” conceded Ms Wilton, wiping tears from her eyes.

“Just little things really, his demeanour, what he doesn’t say.

“He missed our game against North Melbourne and I think he would have played if he was planning to re-sign with us.”

Ms Wilton admitted she had probably been in denial about the Crows chances of retaining the star midfielder.

“I feel a bit foolish to be honest. I thought there was every chance he would stay. Even when he announced he was leaving and going to Geelong I thought ‘that could just be a coincidence.”

“I guess the cold hard truth dawned on me when I saw him racking up 43 possessions, 22 of them contested with seven clearances, 10 inside-50s and five tackles against Hawthorn.

“I turned to my daughter Alice and said ‘I don’t think he’s coming back’.

“She said ‘of course he’s not Mum but at least we got Dean Gore’ and I said who?”

Ms Wilton said she still believed in the Crows and thought they were a good chance for the premiership this season. She added that seeing Dangerfield in Cats colours ‘hurt like the fires of hell and probably always will’.

chrisso28 TitusOReily if Titus wasn't using the protection of source doctrine he might be able to admit Margaret Wilton is a ficticious character and stop creating so much confusion in Port Adelaide supporter ranks so that dumb and dumber can understand what happens on this site.

His goal kicking has just gone to bits since he left. He's clearly not comfortable with his decision.

Do the Melbourne media know he played in Adelaide , from all the reports you'd think he's playing out of his skin for the first time U0001f61c

I thought Geelong had 12 players suspended and because we had too many players to select from (being injury free), we loaned Danger to Geelong just to appease his missus. Titus, please report facts. Not lies.

He's not going back!

AHAHAHAHAH my favourite bit is when it says Dean Gore

Ben Page

I'll take 16 touches in the SANFL from Gore over 43 possessions, 22 of them contested with seven clearances, 10 inside-50s and five tackles against Hawthorn, any day!

Tom Basso

Yeah same hahahaha

Short memories over in the penal settlement. The 4-year carping session over Ablett's departure to GCS seems to have been overlooked altogether. And they still boo him.

I really feel for that lady .. being a Crows supporter myself U0001f615 our spare room was filled with tissue boxes over Christmas ..

Gore is the new Dangerfield Ben and a younger less beaten up model. We did well!

Snert Underpant

Mar 30, 2016

Well said Darren. What good are 45 possessions when you waste most of them? Or half of them? Or at least three...

Mummy's Little Helper

Mar 30, 2016

I knew this would happen. As soon as I saw him run out on the MCG in Cats colours I thought to myself 'he's probably not coming back this year".

Boatie McFloatie

Mar 30, 2016

Bloody Stephen Trigg's to blame! He should have cut Tippett's Achilles' tendon and sent a message that no one, but no one leaves the Crows.

Ben Page

Mar 30, 2016

Exactly! Who needs a Brownlow Medallist when we can have a good depth player to help the SANFL team make the final 5? That one game in September at a suburban ground will be a great experience for players with maybe 12 months left in their careers to look back on with not entirely unpleasant fondness.

Rhiannon Groutsch

Cameron James Chris hahahahah

Matthew Brookes

Yep, most possessions he's had, a whole 1 more than his previous best (42 against Hawks in 2014).

There's a secret plan being hatched in Adelaide to dig up Moggs Creek and transplant it and all the Dangerfield extended family in West Lakes.  West Lakes will become Dangerville with Patrick crowned King and the entire area will secede from South Australia.  All crows games will be played at aami park and Patrick the supreme leader will be the only player in Crows team.  No visiting team will be permitted to win against crows or even kick a goal in anger.

The Government supports the plan believing that Port Adelaide and their entire supporter base will be so disappointed they were not given this wonderful opportunity and leave for Victoria.  As the premier said if we achieve that result the collective intellective of both states will improve.

Lol! Playing at the Crows he clearly had more midfield help & didn't need 400 possessions U0001f44dU0001f3fc

Danielle Cook

In poor Gore's defence, he is just as much a Brownlow medalist as Danger is U0001f609

Danielle Cook

Haha love it! But he may as well have cut Tippett's leg off - he's done nothing with it anyway!
