Injury News: Holmes cleared, Walker test, Mills season over

Max Holmes wasn’t listed in Geelong’s injury report, clearing him for their semifinal away to Fremantle on Friday night.

Holmes had an injury scare in the win over Carlton following 2 months out with an ankle syndesmosis injury but appears good to go.

Cats coach Chris Scott said earlier in the week that Holmes along with Jeremy Cameron would be better for their runs, having both recently returned from injury.

James Worpel, however, is done for the season as he’s set for hamstring surgery.

Fremantle hasn’t ruled out Brandon Walker (ankle) yet. Freo Director of Performance Adam Beard said: “Brandon injured his ankle during the game in an acceleration.

“Unfortunately, couldn’t finish the game. We got him scans this week, which have come up quite good so he’ll be a test of play.”

Brisbane has no major injury concerns, with Noah Answerth a test to play following a “rolled ankle” against Sydney. He’ll train on Thursday before a final decision is made.

Adelaide has ruled out James Peatling (hip/groin) with Zac Taylor (hamstring) a test to play.

In unfortunate news, Callum Mills’ season is over for Sydney with the club confirming an ACL injury from their qualifying final win over Brisbane.
