Geelong will be without Tom Hawkins (managed) and Jeremy Cameron (concussion) with the duo ruled out earlier this week for Thursday night’s clash against the Gold Coast Suns.

Cameron entered AFL concussion protocols on Saturday following the game against Port Adelaide, with Chris Scott confirming post game that Hawkins would be managed for the trip to Darwin.

After missing last week’s game against Port Adelaide with a shoulder injury, Tanner Bruhn will be a test to face the Suns.
