GEELONG coach Chris Scott has indicated Mark Blicavs will remain in the ruck in the "short-term" despite the Cats' defence being exposed for height in his absence last week.

St Kilda key forward Max King took four contested marks and threatened to bury the Cats before his inaccuracy (1.5) cost the Saints victory.

With Blicavs being used in tandem with Esava Ratugolea in the ruck and rotating through the wing, Scott said the Cats wouldn't throw out his plans ahead of Saturday's clash against Gold Coast and King's twin brother Ben at GMHBA Stadium.

"The fact we didn't change it (against St Kilda) probably is a bit of a pointer to where we're thinking, at least in the short-term," Scott said on Wednesday.

"We think we've got flexibility in our team as well, so we'll keep talking about it.

"I think the 'Geelong are a better team with Blicavs at full-back' argument is starting to struggle a little bit when you look at the last 30 games or so.

"It's a constant debate we have internally around where Blicavs is best served but I don't think it's new us playing him up the ground a bit more.

"I think it will change again, I'm just not sure what that change will look like. Last week was a little extreme for us because, if you compare it to last year, we didn't have (Harry) Taylor, but we didn't have (Jake) Kolodjashnij as well."

The Cats have been unbeaten in their past two matches with Blicavs playing higher up the ground, leaving 192cm Jack Henry to play taller alongside Lachie Henderson.

Kolodjashnij (193cm) will be monitored after training on Wednesday over a possible return having missed the last three matches with a knee injury.

Scott added that the Cats had no plans to rest their veterans, including captain Joel Selwood, in the two games before their round 12 bye.

Geelong will host the Gold Coast Suns at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 2.10pm.
