Get your seats to Suns v Cats<\/a><\/p>\nBut Dangerfield believes the star forward, who will miss Wednesday’s AAMI Community Series clash against Carlton, will be fit to face the Suns on March 6.<\/p>\n
“He’s on track,” Dangerfield said.<\/p>\n
“Obviously he’s had a hiccup with his quad. He would have played in that game (on Wednesday) if it wasn’t for the quad.<\/p>\n
“But all signs at the moment, he’s full training today, point towards there being no issue around Opening Round. So he’ll be ready to go.”<\/p>\n

Dangerfield confirmed Tanner Bruhn is definitely fit for Wednesday and Opening Round after missing Geelong’s match simulation against Hawthorn following a procedure to remove a cyst from his neck.<\/p>\n
Tyson Stengle won’t be involved as he continues his own build-up after taking personal leave in pre-season.<\/p>\n
“Tyson’s going well. It’s still a progressive build-up for us,” Dangerfield said.<\/p>\n
“We want to make sure by the time he’s ready to play, it’s sustainable.<\/p>\n

“We’re really mindful of the challenges that he’s had over the pre-season.<\/p>\n
“We’ll slowly work towards reintegration and playing and that sort of thing. But it’s a work in progress.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cats star Jeremy Cameron is on track to line up against the Suns in Opening Round Jeremy Cameron…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[64,63,85,83],"class_list":["post-499478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
