CibbuanoCats receive good news on Ottens

GEELONG has received some good news with scans revealing that the knee injury sustained by ruckman Brad Ottens is nowhere near as bad as first thought.
Ottens, who injured his knee in a ruck contest during the Cats' 20-point win over Richmond at Skilled Stadium on Saturday, was initially expected to miss up to six matches.
But scans today revealed only a slight medial ligament strain which is expected to sideline him for only two to four matches.
The news isn't as good for the club's first draft pick from last year - Mitch Brown - who will miss the remainder of the season after scans on Monday revealed that he broke the fibula in his left leg during a VFL practice match on the weekend.
