Heard he’s keen to bring in a rule that when he’s not on screen the commentators have to say “Where’s Dangerfield?”

Doesn't he have a gig on ch7 with special comments sometimes? Just what we need, someone from the broadcaster on the commission.
Put him on the MRO while we're at it

Surely there are plenty of better credentialed recently retired players who could do this role.

Actually I would prefer Danger than Christian... but that's another story.
Have no issue with him commenting on games.
The AFL couldn't possibly get any more corrupt than it already is
And now this!!!

Not for what did or did not happen to Hopper and you want someone to miss a GF for a panicked over correction.

Sounds like this may have been going on in the background for some time if other clubs have already got wind of it and can’t believe it.
“I gather that conversations are being had about conflicts and how they would be managed and that the AFL is determined to get a current voice of a player on the Commission.
“Already a couple of clubs have contacted me and told me they just can‘t believe the story to be true. I’ve been assured that it is.”
Absolutely no reason to get a current player on the Commission. Surely there is a number of recently retired players that would be more than reasonable and a voice for players.
“There are a lot of other names they‘re looking at, people ranging from Ted Richards, to Chris Judd, to Matthew Pavlich, even Matt de Boer who’s had a pretty impressive post-footy career.”
Surely any of them are more logical selections, so we can assume they won’t go for any of them either.

Obviously it’s a fantastic idea, but does it do enough?
I’d add Tom Hawkins to the rules committee and have Gryan Miers run the MRP

And a pub in Geelong which only cost $1, because he already found one just like that in Adelaide.

Terrible idea. He has already shown that he can't represent his own constituency by snitching on a fellow player (and therefore a member of his union) to the media. When do you see CFMEU or other unions publicising articles to A Current Affair about how one of their members is a poor employee and in need of sanction?
Maybe they should look at Bachar Houli. Recently retired, thoughtful, well spoken, admired. Adds diversity.
Oh, that’s right…

Who’d Danger snitch on?
Do neutrals/casuals like this guy or does everyone outside of Geelong, AFL House and the ‘AFL World Media’ (aka 30 men who live in Melbourne and Caro) think he’s a complete w***er?

They did, he turned the job down. He insisted Danger was a better fit, more handsome and could grow a more impressive beard if he chose to do so.
