Cam Guthrie is expected to be available to face Collingwood.

CATS fans can breathe a sigh of relief with prolific midfielder Cam Guthrie expected to be fit for Geelong's first qualifying final in 12 days’ time.

Guthrie was injured in a collision with teammate Patrick Dangerfield midway through the second term on Saturday night and did not return to the match after coming to the bench.

"Cameron got a knock on his shoulder joint in a collision incident during the game against the Eagles," head of medical and conditioning services Harry Taylor says.

“He was taken off the field as a precautionary measure and we expect him to be available for selection for the first final.”

The classy Mitch Duncan is also expected to be fit for selection after missing the final two rounds of the season.

“Mitch had a minor hip issue that resulted in the decision to leave him out of the Round 23 game against West Coast,” Taylor says.

“We expect Mitch to be available for selection for the first final,” Taylor says.

The duo joins Jeremy Cameron (hamstring) and Rhys Stanley (groin) as potential inclusions for the First Qualifying Final, with both Cameron and Stanley still tracking as expected after missing the final round.

“Jeremy Cameron and Rhys Stanley remain on track and expect to be available for the first Final,” Taylor says.

Jake Kolodjashnij will need to tick all the required boxes to be considered for the clash after he landed awkwardly on his head in the first term om Saturday night.

“Jake has entered the AFL concussion protocols and will be monitored closely during this period with his availability to be determined once he exits the protocols,” Taylor says.
