FRUSTRATED Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield is hopeful of returning from a hamstring injury next week, ruling himself out of Saturday’s AFL clash with GWS.
Dangerfield has been sidelined since round eight, the club taking a conservative approach with the 33-year-old superstar.
“Certainly the plan is to be right and ready to play next week,” Dangerfield told SEN on Thursday.
“I’m around the mark but it’s just getting days in the legs and high-speed metres in.
“It’s a more conservative route which kind of makes sense with hamstrings I suppose.”
Heading into the round 11 clash at GMHBA Stadium, the defending premiers have lost their last two matches to sit seventh on the ladder.
The losses to Richmond and Fremantle followed a five-game winning streak after a poor start to the season with Chris Scott’s side battling a large injury toll.
