Toast Sir Patrick F Dangerfield

[Hamingja]

Hmmm about 1.4m, he could almost jump over Fogarty

Lordy , lordy , lordy
Those hands , that goal sense , that kicking style and sublime left foot-------oh what could have been

 

[cats_09]

Others have taken up the challenge - love the banter between these 2

 

[cats_09]

Some know their limits

 

[cats_09]

And then there's a genuine challenge to Dangers efforts...

All are bloody impressive though - better than I can do

 

[Warhorse]

A very good effort but not the best measure of a vertical leap

Not sure that's what this is about

Yeah. Just a bit if fun it seems

That just makes me sad watching that as a geelong supporter. How’s the left.

 

[BIGANT]

This footage is mesmerising! For anyone who hasn’t seen it, enjoy!

The cat's strength and cond' man - Chris Dennis uploaded his box jump *starting point sitting in a chair* but I can't find it on Twitter or his socials.

Just watched the whole clip.

Nup. It’s still too soon.

Hey, I just Googled 'Patrick Dangerfield' to check when he turns 30, and this Wikipedia summary came up:


Someone with poor grammar must have hacked the Dangerfield page on Wikipedia!!!

This is will be unpopular view, but until Patrick reliably hits targets when he gets the pill he won’t be a genuine superstar. There, I’ve said it.

It’ll be popular with tiger fans.

It's not necessarily inaccurate. His disposal lets him down, and at times is a massive weakness.

He's also got to turn up in finals and not disappear without a trace when the heat goes on.

Sort of. The caper is about either getting the pill to a team mate or at least placing it to advantage.

A classic at the weekend was when he had clear separation on an opponent at a centre bounce. Had time to at least place the pill to advantage but just slammed in on the boot. Good fortune favoured him as it virtually fell into the lap of Dahlhaus. Could just as easily gone to one of the GWS players who were right there, swept away giving the GWS another look. Happens way too often.

And it was very noticeable that Ablett despite his age is still by far the most astute user of the ball we have. May not be the best athlete in the team, but he's by a long, long way the best footballer.

He May have played his last game for Geelong

I tend to think differently, assuming the drive and desire is still there I reckon this break could see him play a season longer than expected.
I'd bank on him being on the list in 2021.

Perhaps, but on the other hand he's not going to get 18-20 games wear and tear this year now.
