Toast Dangerfield's understated arrogance

[hbk_aus]

I'm pretty sure he would have been annoyed/amused by the DangerWatch fiasco.

Wasn't that horrible? I was literally yelling at them to get that sh*t off the TV so i could watch the actual game in full screen.

There is a difference though. There's nothing overtly aggressive or unpleasant about being confident. There is about being arrogant.

It probably depends on your personal preferences. I vastly prefer footballers who let their actions talk. A lot - but not all - of it is 'look at me' ******y.

Agree 100%. Paddy is an individual with a happy disposition and exuberant personality. He also happens to be a footballer in his absolute prime, so naturally the media gravitates to him.

That before the game sketch is brilliant.... but **** I hate Andy Maher

I single-handedly blame him for that show going under.

Never more have I agreed with six words on BigFooty.

Didnt SJ do a similar thing at one point?

can remember Dermie running through an essendon huddle which I think started a melee

It didn't. Even then he only did it once.

I see Dermie as arrogant. The Ferrari, the chest strut run....

I dont see it as arrogance in PFD.

Confidence in his ability - completely - IMO it's hard to call one arrogant that also seems to mock oneself repeatedly in the public.

And he's funny - almost piss taking - arrogance in my experience leaves little room for humour and laughing at oneself or not taking onself too seriously.

Go Catters

Sandi looked genuinely interested in what Paddy had to say .

Imagine how much we'd hate him if Hawthorn chose him over Mitch Thorp.

Mitch Thorp; what a disastrous pick for the gawks.

Plus I don't think he touched the ball the whole time it was on

Was my fav show when it was on. Suited Mick Malloy to a tee. Footy, funny and a little crass.

not cockiness, confidence.

Danger put up an instagram story that I can't link. Walking down the street there is a store called 'Dangerfield Clearance - Pop up store', and he has caption it "yeah right..."

I wonder if this 'understated arrogance' has begun to impact his footy. He cops little extra treatment when he gets the footy.

Unfortunately for Dangerfield, it's a bit too much talk the talk and not enough walk the walk. Specifically come finals time for a player reputedly on the highest wicket at the club by some distance (off field commitments included).

I don't think he has had bad finals. Last night he got 2 centre clearances (game high for us) and was hardly in any center bounces. This suggests if in the midfield he would have been a massive asset. They left him forward, and he kicked a goal and set up other goals or other shots that could have been taken. We were damned if we did, damned if we don't play him forward... If we had an inform Esava or other big forward (besides hawk) we would have played him midfield and he would have got 25 touches and 500 meters gained etc... We left him forward to counteract the Tigers best asset, their defence. I don't think arrogance comes into it, but you are entitled to your opinion

Its not arrogance. its his skills that are failing him. His kicking is still terrible but he his lost his composure. He can still bash and crash but cant side step anyone. Its his talent that is currently the problem.

should we just delist him then?

Well, an expectation based on current reality would be a nice start.

He’s not Gary Ablett senior as a forward so stop expecting him to be. And he’s not the same midfielder as 3-4 years ago. He also plays for the team; not the other way around.

Hes more a team player now than what he’s ever been. He needs to have that balance that Martin has. Be a team player but know when to go. Not completely disappear for quarters.

I think you quoted the wrong person

**** me some of you have short memories.

Danger's finals record at Geelong (possessions and score):
2016:
35, 0.1
39, 1.0

2017:
31, 1.1
26, 4.3
24, 2.3

2018:
25, 0.1

2019:
32, 1.0
18, 0.0
27, 1.0

2020 (short games)
22, 1.0
19, 4.0
17, 0.0
12, 1.1

I should add, it was a shit night for every single forward on the ground bar Dustin Martin. What do you want him to do, walk on water?

He is also forced to play out of position by the fact that we don't have a good second marking tall.

 

[Seeds]

ofcourse not but he isnt the star he was. He is a very good player. He aint a star anymore.

Biggest knee jerk reaction to a post so far today. Geez.
