Patrick Dangerfield
51 points in return from injury
Dangerfield garnered 18 disposals, seven clearances, two tackles and a goal assist and behind each Thursday as Geelong defeated Port Adelaide 112-91 at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
While Dangerfield did not put up big numbers in his first game back from an ankle injury that sidelined him for seven weeks, his 18 disposals (11 kicks, seven handballs) ultimately tied Gary Rohan for fourth-highest on the team in Thursday's win over Port Adelaide. The 31 year-old has only appeared in three games to this point in the year as the result of health-related issues, but should prove a vital cog as part of Geelong ground machine that currently ranks first in the AFL for disposals per game moving forward.

Gary Rohan
Three-goal haul v. Port Adelaide
Rohan cataloged 18 disposals, 10 marks, three goals, two behinds and a goal assist and tackle each Thursday as Geelong outlasted Port Adelaide 112-91 at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
Rohan put up some of his most robust numbers of 2021 in Thursday's win, finishing with season-highs for disposals, kicks (15) and inside-50s (4). So too did the veteran collect a personal-best 10 marks, one less than the game-high 11 recorded by Port Adelaide's Dan Houston. The performance ultimately netted the Rohan his best fantasy output of the year (102 points), but still finds him averaging just 64.4 points an appearance, 98th-best among all forwards currently playing in the league.

Jeremy Cameron
Game-high tying five goals in win
Cameron netted 19 disposals, five marks, three tackles, two goal assists and a single clearance and scored a game-high tying five majors Thursday as Geelong outpaced Port Adelaide 112-91 at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
Cameron set season-bests for both tackles and inside 50s (6) on Thursday, but it was his game-high tying five goals - three of which came in the game's final quarter alone - that led Geelong to its fifth-consecutive victory and the 28 year-old's best fantasy output since May 7. The Cats forward, who has now topped 100 fantasy points twice in 20201, kicks off the month of June ranked second in the AFL for goals per game (3.29), but averaging a mediocre 72.6 points an appearance on the year.

Mark O'Connor
Back in action versus Power
O'Connor (hamstring) is set to return versus Port Adelaide in Round 13, Jon Pierik of The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor has averaged 16.8 disposals and 4.8 tackles through five appearances this season. He is one of four Cats -- along with Mitch Duncan (concussion), Mark Blicavs (calf) and Patrick Dangerfield (ankle) -- to return this week, which should improve the team's depth.

Mark Blicavs
Ready to return
Blicavs (calf) is set to return for Round 13 versus Port Adelaide, Jon Pierik of The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
Blicavs will return to the lineup after missing a match versus Collingwood in Round 11. The defender topped 100 points in two of his three previous matches prior to the injury, but it remains to be seen if he can regain that level of production going forward.

Patrick Dangerfield
Set to return versus Power
Dangerfield (ankle) will return versus Port Adelaide in Round 13, Jon Pierik of The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
Dangerfield was test-listed earlier in the week, but he appears set to make a return after about six weeks with an ankle sydnesmosis injury. He is not expected to face a minutes limit, so he should slot in as a productive option in the midfield.

Cameron Guthrie
Unavailable in Round 13
Guthrie (shoulder) will not play versus Port Adelaide in Round 13, per AFL Ratings.
ANALYSIS
Guthrie was a late scratch for Geelong's Round 11 match versus Collingwood. It's a little concerning the midfielder's shoulder injury hasn't healed up after the bye. He'll aim to be ready for Round 14, when the Cats face the Bulldogs.

Gryan Miers
Could return in next few weeks
Miers (broken leg) is expected to return by Round 15 at the latest and is listed as a test for Round 13 against Port Adelaide, according to Mitch Cleary of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Miers has missed just over a month with a fractured fibula and may make it two if he can't recover for the Port game. He's still managed to score in each of his seven appearances this season.
