I know Paddy get's up some people noses, but I for one think he deserves mad respect for this (as does everyone who puts out for others selflessly). So let's tease him for being part of Geelong's geriatric midfield, but let's also keep a tad of respect for someone who more than once has had the tall poppy treatment and at least to my eyes been a courageous and fair player.

Blasphemy! 

I won't have the heart to bag him anymore even though he's such a FIGJAM. What he did at the weekend was hero level. Huge respect

Well done to the man, helping someone in need is sign of good character on his part. Happy to bag him for being a part of Dad's Army, and for being a bit of a sook/diver on the footy field, but it sounds like this girl and her family were in strife and he helped to prevent a tragedy. Well done Paddy 👏.

Hate the [censored] immensely, but less so today as his actions deserve respect

Possibly saved lives. 

And possibly the most important thing he has ever done.

Doesn’t get much bigger. 

And humble with it. 

 

Still wears a Jeeelong Jumper :)

I like him on the beach. Hate him on the football field.

Do you realllllllllly like him on the beach though?? 

For the posters who are melting, obviously I’m joking around, what he did was a fantastic thing (I still don’t have to like him though).

I grudgingly have to give him credit, and considerable credit, but I can’t help but recall –

The time when he, a member of the rules committee, put his hand up as the Ruckman and won a free kick in the forward pocket in an absolute sham.

The fact that he is a shocking diver.

The numerous times he has collected people’s heads with his elbow.

While I expect to be howled down for this, I really don’t understand the “hate” for Danger on here.

As a player, he has been, and possibly still is a champion, earning a Brownlow on the way.

As a person, he obviously has the respect of all players to be elected as their Player Rep.

And now, to top it off, he helps rescue a few struggling swimmers.

Yep, he is known to take the occasional dive, and sometimes a bit careless with his shoulders and elbows. I think a little less of him for those quirks, but I can’t and don’t hate him. And to be honest, apart from these quirks, I enjoy seeing his great skills on display.

If Danger had left the Crows and come to the Dees, instead of the Cats, it would be a very different attitude towards him, I’m sure.

Hates a strong word. Personally I don’t think I hate anyone, life’s too short to care about hating someone. He’s just a big ol’ Rooster.
