PATRICK Dangerfield's teammates insist they have no idea whether he will leave Adelaide at the end of the season.
The Crows superstar, who plays his 150th game against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night, remains out of contract for 2016 with reports Geelong and Hawthorn are circling the two-time All Australian.
On Sunday, close friend Josh Jenkins said Dangerfield was keeping things "remarkably close" to his chest and questioned if Dangerfield’s girlfriend even knew whether the 25-year-old was leaning towards leaving or not.
Defender Luke Brown said that no one was distracted by the attention surrounding Dangerfield's contract.
"We can't really focus on anything other than playing footy right now and it's his 150th this week and we want to get the win for that," Brown said.
"He just keeps lining up week after week, cops a bit of a hammering in the midfield, he's a contested ball winner and we love him at the club.
"He's a good leader out there, expects the best from each player so he brings out the best of us."
Dangerfield was again at his best in the Crows’ 112-point smashing of Essendon last Saturday, collecting 27 touches and booting three goals; a performance that slashed his odds for this year's Brownlow Medal to $14.
He's third for both contested possessions and inside 50s this year and will prove a huge factor in whether the Crows are able to make an impact during the finals – if they can make it.
To cement a finals place the Crows have to win two of their last three games, although depending on how other results fall, a single victory could be enough.
Regardless, Brown said the side's instruction for the rest of the year was simple.
"Keep hunting," he said. "We just want to keep hunting the ball.
"Our structures were a bit off at the start [against Essendon] and we've just got to focus on our first quarter against Brisbane, our first contest."
