Patrick Dangerfield - potential GOAT?

Another vote for no.

Great player for sure. Best in the league? Probably.

No-one in their right mind would take him ahead of Ablett or Carey though... Still young though at 26. The next couple of years will be crucial as to his standing against the all-time greats.

Not even in the conversation when it comes to the all time greats of the game never will be

Thank **** this wasn't created by a Cats supporter

The two dominant players of the last two seasons are average kicks at best, yet the best team is renowned for their skill by foot. Footy is a weird game.

 

[King Wavo]

Wow, he's been consistent, but in a season without GAJ and Fyfe, you've all gone mental. He is better than last year, but not that much better.

Accumulation seems to still be the yardstick because it's an easy stat. Got 40 touches? Must have been BOG.

 

[A Swallow]

Ridiculous call. Doesn't hold a candle to Ablett, or plenty of others. Needs to repeat this season 5 times at least, and stop missing targets.

 

[The Swert]

He wasn't even named Captain of the All-Australian team

Most people have remained sane. A couple who can't remember Fyfe of last year or Ablett of the 6-7 prior.

 

[Wild Bill]

1 great season and now heading towards Carey, Ablett Snr Matthews territory!! Big footy at its best.

 

[barmy44]

Hes clearly the standout player this year. Lets see another 5. Then reassess.

Being slightly superstitious, this premature-ejaculative talk doesnt bode well for the Cats.

'tis clearly a hawks supporting BFer trying to, in internet parlance, 'rustle some jimmies'.

 

[tigers99]

might be the greatest season ever by a player. but i personally think his skills aren't quite polished enough to ever be the goat.

This. Ablett got the ball as much. Runs as hard but used the ball 10x better. Dangerfield efficiency isn't great.

...and metres gained seems to be gaining popularity.

True. Banging it forward is the sign of an all time great.

Subtle troll is too subtle for some.

No, I've seen the quality of the OP's posts. Tragically, he's serious.

 

[STFU Donnie]

GOAT? Dunno.

GIT? Absolutely!

 

[Zarrix]

Not even the best current player.

 

[romeohwho]

Silly proposition, but sure am enjoying the ride so far.

Fyfe's kicking and efficiency have improved dramatically over the last 2 or 3 years. I think in his 4 games this year he was 8.0 from set shots?

Otherwise known as a troll.

- Best and Fairest
- Brownlow
- Premiership Player
- Norm Smith

These are his achievements in his first year as a Cat, and he is still only 26 years old!

I know the latter four haven't occured yet, but they're pretty much a formality.

[hoianbulldog]

wow how quickly GAJ is forgotten by some.

GAJ won 5 MVP's in a 7 year period and has probably had about 3 seasons that were better than Dangers 16 season

2nd best footballer in his family.

 

[hawks787]

Can't kick can't be goat.
It's gunna be a long off season
