AFL star Patrick Dangerfield has been ruthlessly mocked online over his Brownlow Medal outfit. The Geelong Cats player attended the ceremony on the Gold Coast on Sunday night with his wife Mardi, who wore a fuchsia gown, while Dangerfield opted for a three-piece beige suit, striped open-neck shirt and dark brown loafers, ditching the traditional black tuxedo.
Former Collingwood Magpies star and Brownlow Medal winner Dane Swan led the criticism on Sportsbet's Twitter account, writing: 'Danger is either going to field 80 overs at square leg or he's about to tame a few lions at the circus. What the hell is that outfit.'
Other fans joined in, with one commenting: 'Looks like something you’d go and get measured up for after 27 bintangs by the pool in Bali.' Another added: 'Are they his pyjamas. He was asleep on the day bed halfway through the count.'
Swan also took aim at the Adelaide Crows players, tweeting: 'The Crows table looks like a table of blokes who only know each other because all their girlfriends are friends.' Dangerfield hopes to win his first premiership when Geelong face Richmond in the AFL grand final on Saturday.
