Geelong coach Chris Scott has drawn a proverbial line in the sand about the injury management of battered Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield.

Dangerfield, 32, will be rested until after the bye in three weeks as he recovers from a calf injury, the latest in a string of ailments to trouble the Cats champion.

Scott says the decision may cost Geelong in the short term.

But the coach has reached the point where he wants Dangerfield at his best, not merely struggling through games due to injury.

'When I reflect over the last couple of years, we just haven't had him firing towards the end of the season,' Scott told reporters on Wednesday.
