Stevie Johnson Update For Finals DT

Geelong have revealed gun forward Steve Johnson is hoping to return to the Cats side for the finals after undergoing arthroscopy on his hip today.

Johnson has been battling the problem since about midway through the season, but Geelong claim he will rehabilitate the injury with the aim to be available for the finals series.

“Steve was hampered by the injury and it deteriorated after the game in Sydney. The procedure will give Steve the best chance to return and play at the level that we are used to,” Geelong general manager of football operations Neil Balme said.

“Without the surgery it is unlikely he could have played through the finals as it had deteriorated to the point that he could not play without significant pain and restricted movement.”

All this is relevant for DT because, of course, you can sign up for finals DT which will obviously involve Geelong players.
