As it stated in Luckless Geelong midfielder Nakia Cockatoo has been booked in for knee surgery, meaning his AFL season is almost certainly over. Nakia Cockatoo is unlikely to play again this season. His return is particularly timely as Melbourne have two tall forwards in excellent form - Jesse Hogan and Tom McDonald. But fellow Cats key backman Harry Taylor will be sidelined for at least one more week with a foot problem. ''He has had a well-documented plantar fascia injury and this is different to that,'' Scott said.

Geelong's Nakia Cockatoo has a thing, or two, to learn
Even if Geelong speedster Nakia Cockatoo manages to string a consistent block of games together free of injury, the 21-year-old remains a fair way from being among the Cats' best players. Nakia Cockatoo has a way to go before he is counted among the Cats' best, but he has shown promise. "I would not be telling the whole truth if I said I can guarantee he is going to be one of our best players next year," Scott said. Scott said the club had been on a learning curve in how to best condition Cockatoo, who, the coach conceded, was susceptible to soft-tissue injuries. "He's still a little bit delayed and we knew that and we knew we had to careful with him," Scott said.Nakia Cockatoo Cops Another Injury Setback
as mentioned in AAPBad news for Geelong fans as forward Nakia Cockatoo has made an unsuccessful return to footy in the VFL today. It has been reported the Cockatoo limped off the ground early in the first quarter with what seems to be another soft tissue injury. The former pick No.10 has endured a horrible run with hamstring injuries since entering the AFL system and he has only appeared twice at senior level in 2018. The extent of the injury has not been confirmed by Geelong, but you would suspect he would be sidelined for around another month. More to come.collected by :Roy Mark
