A great article I found while digging around... RE: Patrick Dangerfied and his desire for midfield time.

But the kicker is... that the coach is in on it too!!

QUOTES:

"He called Sanderson soon after the new coach's appointment last year and requested a meeting, where he pushed his claims for more time in the midfield."

The move to position him where he spent most of his junior career already looks set to deliver devastating results."

"Don't worry, I put it to him," Dangerfield said of the move from his past role in attack."

"He asked me where I wanted to play and I said, 'just put me in the midfield'."

AND ADDRESSING COACH SANDERSON:
"He said then he saw me as a midfielder. I think I'll spend time during the year all over the ground, but hopefully predominantly as a midfielder. He's given me the confidence to play my natural game through there, which is certainly good from a player's perspective."

Really want to nail him in...

If Deledio doesn't perform it is Deledio -> Hargrave and Cameron -> Dangerfield!!

If he pumps out a 80+ score I'm convinced he's on track for brilliance :D

i did the shuffle earlier this week.  I think Cameron is a gun, but I am worried he'll cop a key defender and will eventually be a rollercoaster ride (score wise).

+1. May have to play FF until Patton fully recovers in late May.

Dangerfirld + Hargrave vs Deledio + Cameron.

A LOT will depend on Deledio's performance...

I've only ever considered Danger a SC player, but with his recent performances and his yummy price, he looks like a certainty for me.

Cameron looks a solid prospect I think but his position at FF until Patton returns is worrying. I have looked around but I have a soft spot for Hargrave seeing as I picked him uup prior to round 1 the year he exploded!!

He sure is rapidly gaining respect in my team. There is nothing that compares with a coaches opinion of a player.  Clearly Sanderson rates Danger and wants him in the mids - Imo, that is fantasy gold.  Esp in an up and coming team.

And with an easy draw to begin with.
