Jonathan Horn reports on Patrick Dangerfield’s inspirational performance and Geelong booking their place in the 2025 AFL grand final. Thanks a lot for following along, we’ll be back tomorrow to find out whether they will face Collingwood or Brisbane.

Patrick Dangerfield has achieved almost everything in the game. A premiership with the Cats in 2022, a Brownlow medal in his first season with his second club in 2016, and eight All-Australian blazers between 2012 and 2020. But the 35-year-old is yet to lead a side to the promised land as captain of a premiership side. He went a long way to doing just that this evening against the Hawks with an incredible preliminary final performance.
Dangerfield turned back the clock to take control of the stoppages and regularly give the Cats territory advantage with six centre clearances. His masterclass ended with 32 disposals, eight clearances, three goals and surely best afield honours in one of the all-time great finals performances.
