Seeing him elevated to a league-level role is being viewed as both a personal triumph and a reflection of the Cats’ strong culture.
Social media quickly lit up with messages of congratulations, with fans and former players alike praising the decision as “long overdue” and “perfectly deserved.”
Dangerfield Reacts
In a brief statement, Dangerfield expressed gratitude and humility, thanking the AFL, his teammates, and the Geelong Football Club for their continued support.
“The game has given me so much,” Dangerfield said. “To be trusted with a role that allows me to give back and help shape its future is something I’m incredibly proud of.”
A Win for the AFL
At a time when leadership, player welfare, and the long-term growth of the sport are more important than ever, the appointment of Patrick Dangerfield is being widely hailed as a win for everyone involved.
