The Cats can provide the following GMHBA Health Update ahead of AFL Round 18. 

Mitch Duncan sustained a right AC joint injury late in Sunday’s VFL game against Richmond.

Duncan will meet with a specialist this week to discuss his options and to determine how long he may be sidelined for.

Midfielder Cameron Guthrie is still experiencing some low-grade calf symptoms and will likely miss the next few weeks as the Club continues to prioritise a conservative approach in his return to play. 

Tyson Stengle (family reasons) and Baliey Smith (illness) are both expected to be available to face the Giants.  

Forward Oli Wiltshire has entered the AFL concussion protocol following Sunday’s VFL clash against Richmond and will be unavailable for selection this week. 

The Cats play the Giants on Saturday 12 July at ENGIE Stadium before returning to GMHBA Stadium on Sunday 20 July against St Kilda at 1.10pm. Secure your ticket today via Ticketmaster.
