Kate Surman and Gabbi Featherston will be both be a test for Saturday’s game against Richmond as they look to make their way back from injury.

Surman suffered a concussion in Geelong’s Week 5 game against Hawthorn but is progressing well as she continues to work through the AFL’s concussion protocols.

“Kate is progressing well through the protocols – up until this point, everything is on track and we expect her to be available for this weekend,” Geelong Cats Assistant General Manager of Football Brett Johnson said.

Featherston missed Geelong’s win over Sydney on Sunday with an achilles complaint.

“Gabbi will be a test for this week. We took the conservative approach by leaving her out on the weekend,” Johnson said.

“Provided Gabbi gets through training this week, she’ll be available to play.”

Amy McDonald is aiming for a Week 9 return from a hamstring injury as she continues to make good progress in her recovery.

Chloe Scheer is progressing through her rehabilitation for a toe injury, with the Club expecting to have more information following a review this week.

Geelong takes on Richmond this Saturday at the Swinburne Centre in the AFLW Pride Round, with first bounce at 3.05pm. Tickets for the clash against Richmond are available through Ticketmaster.

On Saturday, Geelong will wear its 2024 AFLW Pride Guernsey, featuring the colours of the Pride Progress Flag intertwined with the Cats’ iconic blue and white Hoops, as well as a rainbow Geelong Cats logo. The middle blue hoop features key words, phrases and concepts that players and staff at the Geelong Football Club, as well as the Geelong Cats Pride Supporters Group, contributed as representing what Pride means to them.
