Dangerfield approached to join commission in radical AFL first

The Cats captain and AFLPA president has been approached to fill the void in football experience on the AFL commission, in what would be a huge break from tradition.

Patrick Dangerfield, one of the game’s most decorated players, has been approached for a role on the AFL commission.

In a radical departure from tradition and one that would challenge the commission’s original charter, AFL chairman Richard Goyder and his outgoing CEO Gillon McLachlan have spoken to the Geelong captain about serving on the AFL board while still playing.


Dangerfield, 33, is one of the game’s most influential footballers and an eight-time All-Australian. Because he is chairman of the AFL Players Association, the prevailing view is that he could not play an active commission role until after the current players pay deal has been completed.

An AFL source who did not want to be named because discussions were confidential confirmed Dangerfield had been approached by McLachlan and asked to consider the prestigious role. The source said Dangerfield was considering the proposal.

Tell me about it. You could finish 4th and still get a home final!

Things Patrick will do:

Reverse the NGA ruling that unfairly gave the Dogs Jamara Ugle-Hagan
Allow Port to wear the prison bars (with 119 on the back)
Make Richmond play all of their home games at Marvel to prevent an embarrassing "10% full" MCG from next year onwards
Allow Geelong to play finals at home and home games at home AND wear their home uniform during home games

Colin Carter is fully supportive of this, and in fact has discovered that not only is Dangerfield already commissioner of several years standing, he is also president of the Republic of Australia (est. 1975).

The guy is a genius, currently in his Moggy Creek home office working on plans to reverse global warming, stop the war in Ukraine, solve the housing crisis, bring down inflation, reduce your electricity bill by $275, fix corruption and bias at the AFL, plus the real biggie - make North relevant.

He's a genius, sheer genius and is a priority pick selection by Gil to fill not one, but two vacancies on the AFL Commission
