The upcoming season has prompted a sense of energy and optimism among the 18 club captains
s Patrick Dangerfield assessed the heavy traffic stationed just outside Marvel Stadium’s boundary on Thursday, the champion was a picture of consideration. The 2016 Brownlow medallist is one week away from beginning his 16th season, but it is a year that heralds a new dawn for Dangerfield and also the competition.Players Association president, Dangerfield is shouldering fresh responsibility.
Even for a seasoned campaigner like Dangerfield, who is used to bursting from packs on the weekend and banging heads in boardrooms midweek, it was a hectic day. But there was a sense of energy and optimism among the leaders who gathered a week out from Richmond’s clash with Carlton at the MCG to start the 2023 season.
From the moment Melbourne champion Daisy Pearce held aloft the 2022 AFLW premiership in late November to last week’s practice matches, footy finally enjoyed some downtime. But it is almost back and, as Dangerfield said, a sense of normality to life has returned.
