Dangerfield ruffles Crows feathers early

The 2016 Crows club champion has stirred the rivalry with his former team-mates ahead of Friday night’s top-of-the-table clash for Geelong at Adelaide Oval by recommending the Adelaide Football Club be moved – to Tasmania.

In his regular column in the Sunday Herald-Sun, Dangerfield has come up with a 14-point plan for AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan to invigorate the national competition.

His 14th concept answers Tasmania’s long-standing plea to be the home of an AFL club – even if it is a transplanted franchise – and calls for an impossible merger in SA.

“Tassie needs a team,” writes Dangerfield, “so Adelaide is going to be sent down there to become the Tasmanian Crows.

“Port Adelaide will then be renamed Adelaide Port which brings all of South Australia together under the one banner. Having spent time in SA, I’m sure this will go down just fine.”

Dangerfield played 154 AFL games from 2008-15 with the Crows – winning the Malcolm Blight Medal as club champion in his last season at West Lakes – before taking up free agency to return to his home club at Geelong.

He has played twice against the Crows since becoming a Cat, being an influential player in both games with 33 touches at Adelaide Oval and 36 at Kardinia Park last year.

Dangerfield has proven he can handle extra attention, as was noted in his first return to Adelaide in May last year when not even a “rent-a-crowd” choral group sent by an FM radio station to Adelaide Airport to greet “Danger” with a rendition of the Crows club song upset him.
