GEELONG has suffered a massive blow with number one ruckman Brad Ottens ruled out for up to eight weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his foot.
Cats coach Mark Thompson revealed the news on Tuesday morning when asked about the loss of Mark Seaby for Sydney - the reigning premiers' opponent this weekend.
"It's certainly a loss for them, but unfortunately Brad Ottens is injured too and will likely miss six or eight weeks of football," Thompson said.
"A stress reaction ... it's a hotspot in his foot, so he'll be out for a while."
"We're going to miss Brad and they're going to miss Seaby, so it's (Mark) Blake against (former Cat Shane) Mumford - there you go. That should be a great contest."
