Coach Chris Scott has hinted that Geelong will welcome back two players for its Round 10 clash against the Gold Coast Suns at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Luke Dahlhaus and Jake Kolodjashnij are set to return, but Cats’ fans will need to wait a little bit longer before they see Mark O’Connor and Gryan Miers back in the senior side.

“We will need to wait a little bit longer for O’Connor and Miers in particular, but Kolodjashnij and Dahlhaus will come into our squad and then we will need to just assess how the period between now and Saturday goes,” Coach Chris Scott said on Wednesday morning.
