Ben Jensen PATRICK DANGERFIELD is out indefinitely with an ankle injury dubbed ‘syndesmosis’, the club unable to make an estimate for his return. In better news gun recruit Jeremy Cameron is named to make his debut for the Cats and Mark O’Connor is back from his mysterious injury. Omitted are Jordan Clark and last week’s debutante Sam De Koning. The Eagles also lost a key player to an ankle injury, Josh Kennedy to miss.  Jordan Clark is on the Cats’ emergency list and a chance to be the substitute on the day, along with, Zach Guthrie, Quinton Narkle and Josh Jenkins. The Eagles have been cleared to play by the AFL and health authorities, the Covid-related Perth lockdown not causing problems for this round, the Eagles having flown to Victoria on Thursday on a charter flight.
