Patrick Dangerfield - potential GOAT?

[Coldacre]

You have to imagine Dusty playing at 35, you don’t have to imagine Danger playing at 35.

you have to imagine Danger playing at 40.... bombing torps. since we're talking Dustins

Might not have to imagine in a few years time.

Duck was pretty good in 96, very good in 99. 98 not so much, but definitely had enough memorable finals games (94 QF v hawks, 97 QF v Geel, 99 QF v Port in particular) to cement a legacy as a good finals player

Wasn’t he best on in 6 qualifying finals in a row?

It's amazing how certain posters go missing after been very lippy previously... very Danger-esque.

Not really... I praised Danger multiple times this season.

You're being unfairly selective now, remind you of anything?

not really referring to you just calling you out on your bullshit post, what exactly do you expect from a supporter base the night their team lost a GF?

At least you always get there Wojo.

You guys should be out celebrating getting there like there is no tomorrow.

And also raising a toast to Dangerfield's very consistent Grand Final performances - he has failed to win a Norm Smith Medal in every Grand Final he has played.

I noticed Geelong supporters posting in other threads tonight but not this one until... now.

In any case... Danger is a great player but don't ever compare him to Martin, Hodge or even Ashcroft now for that matter... until he has another all time grand final performance, which probably won't happen again at age 35.

Shouldn't you be out celebrating another wooden spoon?

At age 35 he was better than every single player on Hawthorns list which says volumes for the slop produced by the Hawks last week considering this weeks result. Yuck.

Lay off Dangerfield. He was likely carrying an injury today, was tagged, and he was b.o.g. in the prelim.
Some of the comments on the Geelong board about Dangerfield are disgraceful.

was selfish and should not have played on after the injury.
Holmes butchered the ball all day. Smith was useless.

does not have a game plan that holds up in Grand Finals.

Lay off Chris Scott. He has had to deal with a lot of adversity this year.

I like it when he said .." I hope this doesn't sound like sour grapes but...."

AFL fans as a whole have been bagging the guy every week for years.

I bagged him in the pregame on our board for example.

He’s very, very good when he’s on. But that’s the rub right there, and this is a thread about him being the greatest of all time.

 

[Fadge]

It continues to amaze me how people are so binary about Norm Smith Medal winners.

Dangerfield's 2022 Grand Final was better than WAshcroft's 2024 and 2025, and also Martin's 2017 and 2019.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Nup sorry, can never be a GOAT if you play like that in a grand final.

Champions always find a way, but yesterday it looked like he spent all his petrol tickets in the prelim. Went completely missing. He's a VERY good player but he has very obvious deficiencies that you can't say about the best.

 

[voorhees]

regardless of his game yesterday, man has earned his legacy in the history books

How were his 2020 and 2025 ones?

Have to do it on the big stage though mate , like Dusty.

 

[Redline]

Seemed like he tipped everything into last week and just couldn't go again today. You don't see too many games where he has such little impact.

 

[TigerRoar]

You have to imagine Dusty playing at 35, you don’t have to imagine Danger playing at 35.

Dangerfield is one of the all time greats. 2017 led the league in contested possessions and clearances, he also kicked 45 goals, wasn’t even his Brownlow year but that was one of the greatest individual seasons of all time. To go along with 8 All Australians.

Absolute superstar.

Home and away specialist.

 

[captain blood 17]

To answer the thread title, nope. Not even close.

 

[Warhorse]

Was very crook and should have been the sub. Wouldn't have played any other week

According to some Cats supporters there are rumours of Danger having gastro?

Dirty campaigner needs to start washing his hands or maybe lay off the kebabs at Corio Bay Roadhouse, how does this prick get gastro in all but one of his finals series?!?!?!

He was spotted on the ground pre-game drinking coffee.

As a coffee lover, I can tell you the one thing you simply cannot stomach when suffering with or recovering from gastro...
