Anything to discredit the players and club. You must be great fun at parties.

Haha-very doubtful.
However, if it was a ‘message to danger’- well- I’d be keeping him and throwing the rest of them out. The work ethic he displays is something to behold. A genuine competitor who likes to win and gives his all in pursuit of that. If we had 22 with the same talent, fierce determination and hard working attitude as him- flag would be in the bag.

I cannot help but think, despite all the talk of a stronger line up this year, whether Patrick can light up this finals will decide how deep we go. Come on Patrick - lead us home!
stay out of politics Danger ... it easy in the cheap seats as Mr Midnight Oil found out..

A.k.a. “The farm”Think how much better off we'd be if we had Wayne Milera, Troy Menzel and Dean Gore on our list.

Nah, people with high public profiles are almost obligated to weigh in.
In a time of "fame culture", it's imoerative they use their platform access for good.

You may well see him on a ballot paper one day TC. Until then he has every right to speak his mind.
I dont like bringing pol into sport ..its starts out with issues that are hard to argue against.. and ends with land rights for gay whales ...
He has the right to post... it seems many have the right to post about a lot of things these days ...he has the right to be silent as well .. and as well have seen with TK's other half ..i really cant see how its in thei interest to be public with so many things..
but Im the first admit..i dont use Fbook or twotter or whatever etc...
yep sure one day he may well try to get elected... like to see that.

The fact people think the issue is political is exactly what's wrong with this "us vs them" mentality with society at the moment.
How is it not political? Personally I would prefer danger to stay out of politics. He doesn't help any cause when he is disliked by pretty every supporter from every other team
Its a political mechanism that they used to be in aust ..and a political decision to move them out ...

Politics and sport have gone hand-in-hand forever - and as president of the AFLPA Patrick Dangerfield has already shown plenty of interest in both.

Professional sport and politics are intrinsically linked, though. They're inseparable.

Yes from the 1968 Olympics Black Power salute which ruined Peter Normans career thru Berlin Oylimpics with terrorism thru to Banning South Africa and plenty of others .. but I dont like it.. it divides people that just want to watch sport.

It ain't politics. It's common decency.
No its politics..

I wouldn't mind if Warhorse disagreed with an opinion of mine, but I just can't see anything to actually disagree with in my post: Dangerfield is president of the AFLPA, and sports/politics have been linked as long as they've been around ..
I'd guess there would be plenty of people who watch sport who also like to share their opinions on political matters Turbo - not suggesting you have to like it of course, but history would suggest that it will be an ongoing component.

Barnaby Joyce and Alan Jones think the family should stay.
Amazing to see we have a few even more right wing than them on this board.

I'm amazed to see a few on this board that don't think it's a political issue

Which is exactly what's wrong with society... like I said.
