A strong marking half back, Dangerfield missed some early matches in the 1908 season as he had returned to his former club Brighton for their inaugural VFA season. He spent a total of 12 seasons at St Kilda, captaining them in 1911 and 1915. He was a centre half back in their 1913 VFL Grand Final loss to Fitzroy. In 1920, he returned to Brighton and the following season was appointed coach.^{[citation needed]}
