Geelong Captain Dangerfield Makes Big Career Call
Dangerfield will enter his 20th AFL season and needs 20 more games to reach 400, with four Brownlow votes away from a record.
On Friday, Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield signed a one-year contract extension for 2027, confirming the superstar veteran will play into his 20th AFL season.
A veteran of 374 AFL games, Dangerfield plays his 375th match tonight against the Demons, positioning him to reach the 400-game milestone in 2027.
Geelong football boss Andrew Mackie praised the captain on Friday, saying, "He continues to lead from the front," and remains vital to the club's program.
Since joining the Cats in 2016, Dangerfield has secured a Brownlow Medal and featured in the 2022 premiership, cementing his status as one of the club's most decorated champions.
Carefully managed by the club, Dangerfield continues to play into his 30s, mirroring the longevity of stars like Scott Pendlebury who have sustained careers into their mid-30s.
