Former Adelaide star Andrew Jarman believes the Crows are better off without Patrick Dangerfield in the side.

“Here’s something I’m going to officially sign off on ... the Crows are a better team without Paddy Dangerfield,” Jarman said on Triple M Radio on Wednesday morning.

“The way the boys have been tracking these last three weeks, they’ve got a complete buy-in to Don Pyke’s game plan.

“Their structures are a lot more disciplined at the stoppages, where with Dangerfield it was all about ‘me, me, me’

“He’s done the Crows the biggest favour by going ... and good luck to him at his new footy club, he’s having a ripping year. But we are better without him.”

Dangerfield has started the season in terrific form, averaging 30 disposals and booting three goals in the opening three rounds for the Cats.

Is Jarman being ridiculous, or are the Crows playing better footy without Dangerfield?
