dangers gotta go now or never, so i'm trying to decide who to bring in. My mids as of now stand at Ablett, pendles, watson, cotchin, danger, wines, O'meara, Jones, Kommer, Mitchell.

Deledio. No one has him and he is a freak

I have Danger too so I can understand why you want to trade him but if you look closely, he's played one game where he had the flu, two games where he took two of the best four taggers in the competition, and one game where he almost broke his nose in third quarter. He might be averaging way off the pace but he's going to lift. You have to ask yourself whether or not you really want to burn a trade to another premium who's likely to face the same problems.

... or if you have trades to spare, and can find someone who's not getting / going to get the same problems ...

I like your thinking storm.  Not going to trade out danger I think.   Cheer for you!

I'm thinking to hold at least for one more week. They have Bulldogs@ AAMI Stadium. Hopefully he can get 140+

I have him, 180k in the bank so I can get whoever I want, but I am holding onto him...

yea hold tight, we know he's a gun, just had a shaky start. Trade now and lose the 53k he's dropped, or let him get it back against the doggies? surely there's more pressing trades

Also note that his BE is only 135 which is more than capable of smashing

This will be one of those trades you may well regret when you start running low later in the year.

well said

Yeah I really want him to come good, but if he underperforms this week he'll drop again and I won't have to option of upgrading him to someone like JPK, but I might just have to stick it out with him it seems

Holding as I have more pressing trades bellchambers to leuy and karnezis to monfries.i know I want dangers in my finished mids so no point offloading.

I have him too mate, and wont trade him. don't do it, its a lonnggg season. he is a superstar that will come good.

A cheer for Storm and the good Doctor. Just before the start of league competition most coaches go through their team and calculate how many keepers they have and how many trades it will take to have the best 22 players on the field for them. Danger was in my final 22 so he stays at least until bye time. Having said that , during rd.3 I changed my side around by taking Buddy out just to see what it would look like, and ooooops no reverse trade availlable after the first bounce. So I've effectively burnt a couple of trades just through pure bloody ignorance, but such is life. Keep the Dangerman and get Deledio as soon as you can. Best of luck. ::)

trading him would be absurd

cheer for you sabertooth, convinced me to restore faith in the kid. He better not let me down!!!

Hold on Danger..

Last week was the time to do it if you were going to. He will turn it around somewhere, and there are coaches out there dealing with much bigger issues.

I have both Martin and Danger, I've held Martin and it took a lot of effort to resist trading him and look how that's turned out all of a sudden. Danger can do the same!

Two players at Adelaide just warming up, no guesses for who, but this guy is slowly building into it, guarantee you trade he pulls a 140+

Sorry, tbag, but an A grade midfielder shouldn't have to "slowly build into it".  The really good ones hit the ground running.  He's had one decent year out of 5 and before last year was actually a bit of a quandary because he had never produced the talent he was supposed to possess. Tippett was a similar story but with different circumstances.  Sorry, you can have Danger, in my book he has really yet to truly prove himself.

Forgot something though, Craig played him forward for four years so, he's had only one midfield year, suddenly become the No1 Mid at the club, will now get the attention, no problem, just working his way into how to be the No1, as he worked his way into playing Mid last year (check the stats)

Bet me anything, Danger's numbers after the bye will be elite, from now till then will be very, very good!

I bet you 2500 supercoach ranking positions!  :P

PS Sticking with him - for now.

To sideways trade a premium this early in the season would be crazy. Hang onto Danger he will fire up for you.

My big concern with danger is the number of times he scored under100 pts in 2012. Take out his 4 top scores and his yearly ave drops away big time. Teams will continue to work him over I am not sure he will hit the highs often enough to ave above 110 this year. He may go for me this week

Last year, how many injuries did we have... I remember wasting 8 trades on injuries.  Danger is fit, will score well, maybe not what is price was bought for but save the trade and fix another part of team.

Danger is being sold by a lot of coaches, might actually be a POD in a few weeks.

Yeah good point he could become unique, lets hope that's the case
