Sam De Koning and veteran Cam Guthrie both got through Geelong’s semi-final loss to Southport in the VFL, but forward Gary Rohan suffered another concussion.
Geelong champion Tom Hawkins’ hopes of a fairytale finish to his storied career are fading, as his premiership teammate Gary Rohan suffered another concussion on Saturday.
Rohan was subbed out of the VFL game with concussion after copping a glancing blow to the head in the first quarter against Southport. It is the second time in six weeks the speedster has been concussed.The AFL’s 12-day concussion protocols mean he can still play in the AFL preliminary final, though his recent history with head knocks is a concern.De Koning moved well in his second game returning from a knee injury, collecting 16 possessions and 15 hitouts playing in the ruck.
Guthrie, a joint winner of the Cats’ best and fairest in their 2022 premiership year, had 19 disposals, eight tackles, four clearances and booted a goal in his first game since an injury to his Achilles in round 10.
