The Round 3 GMHBA Health Update is in! Geelong’s Executive General Manager of Football Andrew Mackie has provided a GMHBA Health Update on players ahead of the AFL Round 3 clash against Brisbane Lions at The Gabba on Saturday night, and the VFL Cats’ game against the Northern Bullants.

New updates since conclusion AFL Round 2 and VFL Round 1

Tom Stewart
Knee, Test

As announced on Monday, scans on Monday morning have ruled out of any serious injury to Tom’s right knee. With one more session before we head to Brisbane, Tom will be closely monitored before making a call at selection.

Bailey Smith
Calf, Test

Bailey was a late withdrawal ahead of the Saints game after experiencing calf soreness. We took a conservative approach and will continue to monitor Bailey throughout the week before we make a call on his availability.

Jack Martin
Management, Test

Jack reported low level calf tightness during the pre-game VFL warmup on Sunday against Sandringham. The Club took the cautious approach to withdraw him and Jack will be a test to be play in Saturday’s VFL against Northern Bullants at GMHBA Stadium.

Lenny Hofmann
Back, Indefinite

Lenny has experienced increasing back symptoms, and a scan has shown low-grade bone stress. We will take a conservative approach with Lenny, with the aim to see him return in the second half of the season.
