Patrick Dangerfield

When he’s fit and firing, the Geelong captain is still one of the most dynamic midfielders in the AFL and was influential in leading the Cats back into finals action after missing out in 2023. However, soft tissue injuries were again a curse, and the superstar missed nine games with hamstring complaints. Returned to lead the team after the mid-season bye and helped guide the Cats to the preliminary final. Averaged 6.2 inside-50s a game (second-best average in the AFL) and finished the season strongly. Turns 35 early in the 2025 season but is contracted until the end of 2026 and will play a key role leading Geelong’s next generation.
