Should he have been played in the midfield when the game was slipping away? Whatever the answers to those questions, Dangerfield was a non-factor in the Grand Final with 12 disposals and only one of those playing deep forward as the Tigers roared back into the game in that decisive third term. He has the fourth-most Brownlow Medal votes in history and is a likely Hall of Famer but where Dustin Martin has won a trio of Norm Smith Medals, Dangerfield's single focus will be holding up the premiership cup at year's end. He enters the year having managed that groin issue over summer, so whether it's resting him sporadically or not, a player who turns 31 in April will want to peak in the season's final game.
