2016 Brownlow Medalist Patrick Dangerfield has joined Seven’s AFL commentary team ahead of the Finals Series.
He joins Saturday Night Footy commentators including, Hamish McLachlan, Luke Darcy, Wayne Carey and Abbey Holmes and will also provide exclusive content as a regular columnist for 7NEWS.com.au.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “Patrick is arguably one of the greatest players of the modern era and we are rapt to have him as a member of our 7AFL coverage team.
“As a current day player, Patrick’s knowledge and deep understanding of the modern game will make for an incredibly insightful broadcast for footy fans at home. You won’t want to miss a moment, right here on Your Home of Footy.”
Dangerfield said: “I can’t wait to get behind the microphone on Saturday night. To have the opportunity to work alongside Seven’s commentary team and the 7NEWS.com.au team is a huge privilege and something I’m really grateful for.
“As someone still playing the game, I hope that I can share valuable insights with people watching at home about key moments in the match and what the players might be experiencing on the field.
“I’m really looking forward to analysing the game among football’s best, including some greats of the game that I grew up watching,” he said.

Must be getting a rewarding pay packet from Seven wonder if he is going to get mic up during the game for Seven ?
