He isnt well known for making others better around him or a as the “club man” I spose.Yeh I have just never been completely sold on Dangerfield. As you say, beast of a player but I dunno, he lacks that polish which the truly great ones have in spades. He can take a brilliant contested mark and is almost cat like such is (was) his agility. Kicks a lot of goals as well but just never quite kept his game at the very top level.
I guess his peak was better than Pendlebury but as time goes by, we start to lose interest in those older players as we tend to remember their recent exploits and Pendles has regressed from the player he once was with Swan, Ball and Thomas in midfield.
As for greatest Cats players ever, Danger is well behind Buddha Hocking for me. He certainly isn't in the same class as the Ablett's and I would also take Scarlett well ahead of him.
Never saw the older blokes like Farmer or Goggin.
Possibly a good comparison would be Couch or Selwood.
