Injured Geelong defender Corey Enright will take his one-game ban to the AFL tribunal on Tuesday night in a case that poses no risk for the Cats.

Enright is already out of Friday night’s semi-final against Port Adelaide because of his knee injury and if the Cats win, he is in doubt to play again this season.

The potential upside for the Cats is that they win the case.

Even if the challenge fails, Enright will have less carryover points than the 93.75 he would have received for an early plea.

“He won’t play this week, but he’s very positive about what could happen after that and so are the medical staff,” said Cats coach Chris Scott.

“But really, with this sort of injury, it’s protect it as much as possible this week and when he comes out of the brace they test it and we’ll know more.

“Until then it’s hard to say.”

Enright, who suffered the knee injury in the qualifying final loss to Fremantle last Saturday, was charged by the match review panel with striking Chris Mayne in the second term.

Mayne accepted his reprimand and 93.75 points for striking Geelong’s Steve Johnson during the second quarter.

That means the Dockers forward is available to play in Fremantle’s home elimination final against either Sydney or Carlton on Saturday, September 21.

The Fremantle-Geelong clash was the only final from the weekend that attracted match review panel scrutiny.
