Ollie Henry will miss a couple of weeks from an injury sustained on Friday night, but the Cats could be buoyed by a number of key returns to take on Fremantle this weekend.
Geelong has revealed Henry suffered a testicular rupture from an incident “late in the game”, with the 20-year-old to be sidelined for “a couple of weeks” as a result.

Henry finished with seven touches and two goals and finished the game on the field.
But in better news for Cats fans, Jack Henry (foot) and Tyson Stengle (arm) could return to the field in Round 10.
Henry hasn’t played in 2023 after suffering the foot issue in a pre-season clash, while Stengle fractured his arm during Gather Round.
The duo are part of a number of Cats who were unavailable in Round 9, including the suspended Brad Close.
“Brad Close will return from suspension, great that Closey's returned, and also as Scotty mentioned last week, Jack Henry is in the mix as is Tyson Stengle who's coming back from the arm fracture and Jack has had the footy issue, but both are full training at the moment,” Geelong head of football Simon Lloyd told the club’s website.
Sam De Koning, Patrick Dangerfield, Gary Rohan and Jack Bowes are all expected to be available in the coming weeks.
Geelong travels to Perth to meet the Dockers on Saturday afternoon.
