Ben Jensen GEELONG was met by Western Australian police at the airport on Wednesday as they arrived in Perth, and were escorted to their accommodation where they were forced into quarantine ahead of tonight’s match against the Fremantle Dockers at Perth Stadium. “The Geelong players and officials will go straight from the airport into a secure quarantine arrangement at their hotel. They will then be transported in a secure way to (the stadium). They will be under very strict quarantine arrangements, as will all other officials travelling with them,” said the WA police chief Chris Dawson (no relation to Zac). Returning to the side to face the Dockers are skipper Joel Selwood, who signed a contract extension during the week, along with Quinton Narkle and Luke Dahlhaus. Making way are Lachie Henderson, injured Gary Rohan and omitted Max Holmes
