Speaking to 7NEWS Melbourne, Dangerfield said: “It really is a once in a lifetime sort of opportunity, so we thought, bugger it, let’s do it.”

The rest of the Geelong squad back in Australia are set to enjoy the game at a 2am watch party at GMHBA Stadium.
“We’ve changed our training around it, to be honest. We really see the value in supporting Mark and watching it, whether it’s live for us or at the club [for the other players].
“Missing one session isn’t going to break the season. This is too good of an opportunity to miss,” Dangerfield said.
