‘That’s why the great players are the great players’: The kick that saved a landmark night for GeelongOn the night Geelong opened the Joel Selwood Stand, it was another modern-day hero also worthy of having a grandstand named after him, Patrick Dangerfield, who saved the Cats.
In a test of not only his nerve but also every sinew of muscle in his right leg, he drained the winner from just outside 50, denying a fast-finishing St Kilda the chance to commit a Princes Highway robbery. “We were confident with Paddy’s preseason he was at least going to give himself the chance to play as well as he ever has,” Cats coach Chris Scott said.“It was a really good sign for us. It was a shot for goal, there have been versions of Paddy in the past where he has been limited, he just would have been too fatigued to make the distance with that shot.Several options were open to Dangerfield, who marked with his team a point in front with 78 seconds left.
“There wouldn’t be many players in the competition to back themselves to even make the distance in that situation.
