While he couldn't recall the exact incident, the Adelaide midfielder said he was sure any contact made was just part of what was a heavily-contested game.
In the opening stages of the second quarter of the match, which was won by the Western Bulldogs by 17 points, Dangerfield was tackled by Mitch Wallis.
As he was being taken to ground, Minson held on to his left arm.
It appeared as though the Adelaide midfielder's arm was briefly wrenched behind him, akin to the way Chris Judd laid his infamous 'chicken wing' tackle on Leigh Adams in 2012.
But Dangerfield had no recollection of the incident, which didn't hold up play or see any players remonstrate, and said it was just part of a physical contest.
"No I don't remember, to be honest," Dangerfield told AFL.com.au after the game.
"There's plenty of scenarios during games where it's tight and contested, and that was just one of those, I'm assuming."

Both Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson and Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney said they didn't see the incident.
Dangerfield was unharmed, with the arm involved opposite to the shoulder he injured in round 16.
The Judd-Adams incident saw the dual Brownlow medallist suspended for four games after being directed straight to the tribunal.
But Adams suffered further injury to his already-damaged shoulder, which compounded the situation.
