Patrick Dangerfield - potential GOAT?

[Fadge]

Moving up the GOAT rankings by the week.

 

[Former Decathlete]

A Superman. Loved that run down tackle.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

His 2017 season isn't talked up enough. Dusty won the Brownlow but Paddy was insane kicking 53 goals 38... Haven't had a season like Dusty and Danger since imo.

 

[Cursed Cat]

His form from late 2022 has been exemplary, and I've always been one to mark him really harshly.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Bartel is better than Chappy.



43:20 - Chappy rates Jimmy B as the best player he's played with > Jnr (Jnr's obviously a better player)

Jimmy criminally underrated.

Interesting.

I rate Chappy extremely highly, and I reckon he has a case for being behind only Scarlett and Ablett when taking his entire career into view.
He was excellent when we were mediocre, and once we started to play in big games he was front and centre.
Ran out of legs toward the end, but who doesn't.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Above Dusty that’s for sure

 

[Fadge]

Above Dusty that’s for sure

That's a given.

 

[HaroLad]

Any comparison with Dusty is becoming more and more laughable by the week.

 

[Black Haze]

Could he be the GOAT? He's been performing at a high level since 2012, which is better longevity than Ablett Jr who is in GOAT conversations.

 

[Orange crush]

Not even close

 

[SSSSSS]

Went missing in a couple of finals including a Granny would be a big knock against him in any GOAT discussions.

I personally wouldn't have him in the conversation.

 

[STPer18]

Won't catch Ablett Jnr but the best of the 21st century rest. Still the apex predator.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Won't catch Ablett Jnr but the best of the 21st century rest. Still the apex predator.

Insufferable personality but the bloke can play and he knows it. Didn't put a foot wrong today and was a key reason you won.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Won't catch Ablett Jnr but the best of the 21st century rest. Still the apex predator.

Strongly assisted by his role as AFLPA chair . No-one in the game gets the umpire assistance that Dangerfield gains

Also played one of the best finals series ever in 2022.

In the convo I recon, just keeps on going. GOAT is a big call but has probably elevated himself above some contemporaries in the last few years.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

GOATs have to be able to kick above average, surely?

It’s a pretty central skill.

All action, nowhere near enough sophistication.

 

[juss]

Any comparison with Dusty is becoming more and more laughable by the week.

Except when it really matters though in finals, where Dusty has him well covered.

But Danger's late career home and away firm is certainly better than Dusty's was, but Dusty delivered more flags to his team off his own boot, any supporter would take that any day over Danger's better H&A form.

 

[SA HAWK]

Right up there kills us every time.

He's not the GOAT. But this ignorant nonsense (usually raised by Tigs fans) has been debunked before. No where near as bad a kick as you like to pretend.

sure, well then, as the commentators put it, 'the one part of the game that can let him down'

I think it's because he is all energy and hustle and bustle, absolutely all of the time, maybe barely takes a breath before disposing.

The hammer for whom every footy situation looks like a nail!

It can let him down. That also doesn’t mean the ‘issue’ isn’t exaggerated.

Ranking of players to have debuted in the 21st Century:
1. GAJ
2. Buddy
3. Judd
4. Dangerfield (closing in on Judd)
5. Pendlebury

Gross exaggeration! He’s kicked 14 so far this year and is averaging a goal a game across his career

Always been a good set shot

Pfffft. Righto.
