Geelong Cats can provide the following GMHBA Health Update ahead of the Round 19 game against St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium on Thursday night. 

As confirmed on Monday, Jeremy Cameron will have surgery this week to his left AC joint and will be sidelined for the next four to six weeks.

Tanner Bruhn (neck) and Jack Henry (throat) have both been cleared of serious injury and will be tests for Thursday night. 

Mark O'Connor will be a test to play this week after withdrawing from the GWS game with quad tightness.

Rhys Stanley experienced some hamstring tightness during the first quarter of Geelong's VFL win on Saturday, which saw him sit the rest of the game out. He will be a test to play this week.

Toby Conway and Harley Barker remain listed as TBC as they continue to make progress on their return to play. 

Harley has made steady progress following his ACL injury which he sustained prior to being drafted. He has steadily increased his running and athletic training loads and is tracking well through the next phase of his program. Harley will transition into more football specific drills in the coming weeks, with his progression through this phase helping inform his training program for the remainder of 2026. 

Toby continues to rehabilitate and establish loads following foot and knee surgery. The remainder of the 2026 season will be used to establish a base from which Toby can progress through the 2027 pre-season.
