Patrick Dangerfield spoke of bitterness, frustration and disappointment, only minutes after breaking records with his first AFL Brownlow Medal win.While the Geelong star had one of the games most dominant individual seasons, it didnt end with a premiership.On Monday night he polled the most votes in Brownlow history (35) and picked up votes in the most games during a season (15).Three nights earlier, Sydney had blown the Cats out of the water at the start of their preliminary final.Certainly as the years pass and you dont experience the success you really crave, when it does all come to a screeching halt, you are bitter and disappointed and frustrated, Dangerfield said.When I was first drafted, I didnt totally understand it.I played finals in my first season and you dont realise how hard it is to get there - how many opportunities youll get in a career.Nine years down and Ive played in two losing preliminary finals.With all respect to the Brownlow Medal, the most important thing is and always will be team success.It was only halfway through Monday nights count that Dangerfield was able to set aside his disappointment about the preliminary final loss.Geelongs seventh Brownlow Medallist was moved by a tribute during the function to their 1989 winner Paul Couch, who died in March of a heart attack.It hit me, what it would be like to be a Brownlow Medallist, Dangerfield said in his acceptance speech.So Couchy - this ones for you mate.Dangerfield blossomed this season after his high-profile move from Adelaide, combining superbly in the midfield with Cats captain Joel Selwood.He noted Geelong had some big wins this year against the leagues best teams and is certain they can win the flag soon.It just feels that we had unfinished business in the season, he said.I have no doubt our game style stands up.We just have to make sure we as players continue to implement it consistently and thats what we didnt do on Friday night.We will be a better team next year and I think that is simply because weve spent more time together..The more time we spend together, the better we will understand each others games.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants want to make sure Madison Bumgarner never goes elsewhere.San Francisco general manager Bobby Evans spoke with Bumgarner and reached out to the ace left-handers representatives to let them all know the Giants are ready to begin discussions on a new contract.Bumgarner signed a $35.56 million, six-year deal through 2017 that includes $12 million club options for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.We want to make sure Madison is here for the long haul, Evans said Thursday. Well certainly be available when theyre ready to talk. We continue to exchange volleys. Were ready when theyre ready. Ive even talked to Madison. Were very clear.MadBum pitched a four-hitter in a 3-0 road win against the New York Mets in the wild-card game last week to continue his October dominance, then had a no-decision in Monday nights 6-5, 13-inning Game 3 victory against the Cubs. Chicago eliminated the Giants the next night.The 27-year-old left-hander went 15-9 with a 2.74 ERA this season. Two years ago, his spectacular postseason instantly put him right up with the best ever in October. In 2014, he tossed 270 innings, including 21 with two wins and a save in a World Series that went to Game 7 against the Kansas City Royals.His value to the Giants, its sort of incalculable, said CEO Larry Baer, noting hes already fielding questions about when the pitcher will get a statue. Hes been a tremendous asset for us. Hes done historic things.The Giants like to keep around their homegrown players well into the future.In April, first baseman Brandon Belt received a $79 million, six-year contract that takes him through the 2021 season. Shortstop Brandon Crawford signed a $75 million, six-year contract last November through the 2021 season.I have spoken with Madisons agent about what the timing would be, Evans said. Again, this is a conversation Ive had with each of his representatives that hes had this year. Timing on that I cant speak to.While the sting of falling short in the playoffs was still felt by the brass two days later -- the Giants would have played a Game 5 on Thursday back at Wrigley Field -- a team that clinched the second wild card on the seasons final day was credited for sticking it out through a tough second haalf.ddddddddddddThe group still hates to lose as much as they like to win, and thats a powerful statement, said Brian Sabean, executive vice president of baseball operations.Manager Bruce Bochy insists his health is good and he is ready to get exploring out in the mountains this offseason and prepare to win another championship. He spent a night in a Miami hospital in August but insists he is strong and energized to improve at age 61.Nobody is hurting more than this team and myself that were not playing tonight with a chance to move on, Bochy said. Im hungry to get back to the World Series, win another one. I couldnt feel better to be honest.San Francisco is strongly considering promoting from within the organization to fill spots in left field -- with Jarrett Parker or Mac Williamson -- while Eduardo Nunez and Conor Gillaspie are likely to play third. Nunez, whose strained right hamstring limited him down the stretch and in the playoffs, is someone Evans likes on an everyday basis with his fire offensively and athletically, and I think he did a really nice job defensively.Its important to value our internal options, Evans said, noting both third basemen are very strong options for us at third. Thats most likely the direction well go.Finding a closer will be a top priority, with Evans saying he would explore every opportunity to make sure that no ninth inning goes unstaffed.Well find ways to improve our bullpen. We have a good core there for years to come, he said. An overhaul would be a tremendous overstatement.Game notes Buster Posey is likely to play regularly behind the plate despite down power numbers this season: 14 homers and 80 RBIs. ... Third-base coach Roberto Kelly and first-base coach Bill Hayes will not return to those duties. Evans said it hasnt been determined whether they will remain part of the organization in reassigned roles. ... Evans said he has exchanged messages with one National League West club with a managerial opening -- either Arizona or Colorado -- regarding bench coach Ron Wotus. ... San Francisco plans to offer a contract to reliever George Kontos. ' ' '
