I think it speaks volumes of a guy who loves the attention in a positive way - this is how he  acts under 'stress/pressure' or where there is judgements from others and he doesn't engage in safety behaviours in front of the media, this maps out how he plays on the field, where there is scrutiny i.e.: finals time.

Personally, I'd be wrapped to see a Melbourne player act like that... (whether I believe they're a chop or not)

The only Melbourne player who gives me a sense of that is CP5 - where he wouldn't become insular, and stick to committed actions in finals irrespective of judgements from crowd, peers, coaches and keep playing with freedom - this is exactly what Dangerfield was doing in that context - and this is simply symbolic of his attitude across any given context where he may be judged...

I've posted the band before - but as the super furry animals once sang

 

 

He is thinking about life after footy, he will get paid heaps in the media, and when you have won a brownlow you can act  with personality, too many serious people, like hardwick wanting to smash cornes for pointing out the truth, lighten up picked you would be no fun watching a stand up.
