Gary Rohan has entered the AFL’s concussion protocols following the game against North Melbourne. 

After being subbed out in the third quarter, Geelong Cats Assistant General Manager – Football Brett Johnson said the Club would assess Rohan’s progress as he worked through the concussion protocols. 

“We’ll assess each day how Gary is tracking, and we’ll know more as he progresses around availability to play in the coming weeks. We’ll ensure Gary is well looked after,” Johnson said. 

In exciting news, Tom Atkins (back) and Oli Wiltshire (pelvis) have both recovered from their respective injuries and will be available for selection.  

“Tom has progressed well and hasn’t missed a beat with his rehab after he was a late withdrawal against the Bulldogs,” Johnson said.  

“It is a long season, and we took the conservative approach with Tom to make sure he is ready to attack the back end of the year.  

“Oli has worked through a pelvis issue and has ticked all the boxes. With the VFL team having the bye this weekend, he will get his chance to return next week when we play Carlton’s VFL team.”  

Cameron Guthrie continues to work through his recovery, preparing for a return to play, with the Club to provide a specific timeline in the coming weeks.  

Tom Hawkins is recovering from his foot injury and remains three weeks away. 

Geelong takes on Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday at 4.35pm. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
