ADELAIDE board member and club legend Mark Ricciuto hasn’t ruled out the club trading superstar Patrick Dangerfield but said it would do everything it could to keep him.
Ricciuto refused to put Dangerfield, who comes out of contract next year and qualifies for free agency, off limits.
“At the moment we’ve got a few things going on. Once we get that right I’m sure Paddy Dangerfield will want to be a long-term player with the Crows,” Ricciuto told FoxSports.
“I didn’t say there’d be no chance (of trading him), and I didn’t say we’d trade him. What I said was we have to get everything right so that it’s a fair call to ask him to stay long term.
“We’ll get the contract right, we’ll pay (Dangerfield) what he needs to be paid, but we’ve got to get the culture, environment and everything right so that he can win a premiership, because he wants to win one.”
The former Crows champion reiterated his stance that the club needed to get its own house in order as its first priority.
