Patrick Dangerfield (born 5 April 1990) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Adelaide Football Club from 2008 to 2015. He has served as Geelong captain since the 2023 season.
Drafted by Adelaide in 2007, Dangerfield was immediately able to make a lasting impression with his ability to explode from stoppages through the midfield as well as play virtually all of the forward positions.[1] Dangerfield is widely considered one of the best players of the 2010s.[2]
Since debuting in 2008, Dangerfield's accomplishments include winning the Brownlow Medal, the Leigh Matthews Trophy, and the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award. He is also a triple Carji Greeves Medallist and a Malcolm Blight Medallist. As well as receiving several media awards, he is also a record 8-time All Australian and has represented Australia four times in the International Rules Series. Dangerfield is also president of the AFL Players Association.
Dangerfield is a frequent AFL media performer, with regular spots on Channel 7, Fox Footy and SEN.[citation needed] He also co-hosts a weekly fishing program.[3]
