Patrick Dangerfield unlikely to leave Crows, says manager
Adelaide star unlikely to move clubs, manager Paul Connors says
ADELAIDE star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield is settled in South Australia, his manager Paul Connors says.
There was increasing speculation last week that the Crows would look to move on Dangerfield, after board member Mark Ricciuto told AFL.com.au the club might consider a trade for him before he becomes a free agent ahead of the 2016 season.
Dangerfield then told AFL.com.au he would leave a decision about a possible trade in the hands of the club, also stating his awareness that conjecture about his future would heighten during the season.
As a result, a number of Melbourne based clubs rang to make inquiries about the star Crow's services.
Dangerfield recently bought into a pub in Adelaide with Ricciuto and Crows teammates Taylor Walker and Rory Sloane, indicating his long-term future is at West Lakes.
Connors said he intended to speak with Dangerfield after he returned home from a trip with his father.
But as far as Connors is concerned Dangerfield will not be moving clubs.
