‘Flic meeting the new addition to the @catswomen engine room for the first time,’ he wrote in the caption. 

‘Winnifred Elizabeth Dangerfield. Go get em’ Winni,’ he added.

Fellow Cats players, Jezza Cameron and Gary Rohan, along with AFLW star Abbey Holmes and Channel 7 presenter Rebecca Maddern were among the high profile pals to send their congratulations.

It’s certainly been an event year for Patrick, who was part of the premiership winning team this year.

The Cats defied their ageing roster to put the Sydney Swans to the sword in the AFL grand final in September, smashing them by 81 points and breaking an 11-year title drought. 

Dangerfield led out the Geelong contingent including by Isaac Smith, Shaun Higgins, Joel Selwood and Tom Hawkins that became the oldest average roster in VFL/AFL history to win a flag.

The Cats were infamously belted by 83 points by eventual premiers Melbourne in last year’s preliminary final and were labelled ‘too old and too slow’.

Patrick and Mardi, who are high school sweethearts, officially tied the knot in 2016.

The couple first met at Oberon High School and have been together ever since. 

Not all the players elected to play up to the age trope, with Jeremy Cameron stealing the show dressed as his famous grand final day chicken.

He had been waiting for it to lay eggs and when it finally did on the morning of the decider, he had them for breakfast.

Meanwhile Geelong’s spiritual leader Sammy Moorfoot dressed as Cameron, complete with cowboy hat and No.5 jersey.
