Gary Rohan's Uncertain Future in AFL with Geelong Cats

Gary Rohan's VFL Semi-Final Setback

Geelong veteran Gary Rohan was unexpectedly ruled out of the club's VFL semi-final clash against Southport. Rohan lasted less than a quarter, facing discomfort after receiving an accidental elbow to the head. He underwent a head injury assessment and immediately failed the concussion test.

Concussion Concerns

Experts highlight the growing concerns around Rohan due to previous concussions. 7NEWS sports reporter Andrew McCormack explained, “Just a glancing elbow there…” Despite still being eligible to play in the AFL preliminary final, Rohan's chances of returning to the team look bleak with a healthy list.

  • Rohan enters 12-day concussion protocols.
  • His contract ends this season, renewal status unclear.
  • Geelong's forwards excelled in the VFL match.

Geelong's Bright Spots

In other news for the Cats, veterans Tom Hawkins and Cam Guthrie showcased promising performances, enhancing their chances of returning to the senior team. Hawkins, who recently announced his retirement, kicked a goal and had 10 disposals, while Guthrie managed 19 touches.

Despite the challenges, hope remains for the team. If Geelong makes it to the grand final, Rohan will need both an injury and luck to see AFL action again.
