Not sport in general, just the AFL.I have a question regarding people’s opinion of Dangerfield - have we got to the point now in sport where personalities are so homogenised that anyone who is an extrovert is seen as arrogant?
dangerfield has a strut when he walks around the footy field. No question.
but is there anything else he does that can be perceived as arrogant? Being a big personality doesn’t make you up yourself.
In my group of mates I’m easily the loudest and most extroverted but the one knock they all have on me is that I’m too self deprecating and rag on myself at every opportunity.
being the loudest personality doesn’t equal arrogance
You are 100% bang on with this and a lot of it is led by the fossils in the media.I have a question regarding people’s opinion of Dangerfield - have we got to the point now in sport where personalities are so homogenised that anyone who is an extrovert is seen as arrogant?

Look at Duursma with the bow and arrow celebration, copped sh*t by a lot of the old heads.
Mathieson with the shot gun celebration. 'you need to earn the right to do that sort of stuff'
These are such minor things that get ragged on. Danger and Fyfe cop so much sh*t for being arrogant despite doing a lot of media work which helps grow the game. Yet the quiet and cool Dusty gets praised for how he goes about it. In reality they would all be as arrogant as each other, you need to be a little bit when you are that good.
I think it's more he can't walk past an on camera opportunity.absolutely. Danger shows up to a presser with bandages on, effectively mocking himself, and somehow that was a sign that he’s a dick

Pendles is a Rolls Royce. Been an absolute pleasure watching. He doesn’t have that explosive excitement like Fyfe, Danger but when the games on the line you want the ball in his hands
