Tom Atkins out with hip injury, replaced by Charlie Constable

Ben Jensen, 17 May 2019 GEELONG’s Tom Atkins has succumbed to a hip injury that hindered his performance in the win over North Melbourne last Sunday at Marvel Stadium, replaced by Charlie Constable. Constable has been in and out of the side often over the past month and earns his second reprieve in a week, being dropped for the Kangaroos match but recalled when Zach Tuohy withdrew. The Cats host the Western Bulldogs on election day, the match beginning at 4:35PM. Go here for a full match preview.
