TRAGIC LOSS: GEELONG CATS VETERAN CAPTAIN PATRICK DANGERFORD DEAD AT 35

The football world is in shock after the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Geelong Cats veteran captain Patrick Dangerford, who has tragically passed away at the age of 35 following a devastating car crash late last night.

Emergency services confirmed that Dangerford was involved in a serious collision while driving to a private club function on the outskirts of Geelong. Despite the rapid response of first responders, he succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Dangerford, a respected leader and club icon, spent over a decade wearing the blue and white hoops, earning admiration for his toughness, loyalty, and unmatched work ethic. Teammates described him as “the heart and soul of the club,” while fans gathered outside GMHBA Stadium this morning to lay flowers, scarves, and handwritten notes.

The Geelong Football Club released a brief statement expressing profound grief, asking for privacy for Dangerford’s family during this unimaginably difficult time.

Tributes have poured in from across the AFL community, with former players, coaches, and supporters sharing memories of a man whose impact extended far beyond the field
