GEELONG is set to get their season back on track tonight, hosting Melbourne at home on a Thursday night at GMHBA Stadium. Premiership ruckman Rhys Stanley boosts the Cats’ chances against the third-placed Demons. Patrick Dangerfield however will miss, after suffering a cracked rib and partially collapsed lung last week, and being ramped at an Adelaide hospital in the process. The match kicks off at 7:20pm.
