Whoa. Damn, hope he's okay. I was expect/hoping him to have a big year this year.  :(

GEELONG utility Jackson Thurlow remains in hospital with a lacerated kidney after copping a bump at training on Saturday.

Immediately after the incident Thurlow was sent for scans that revealed the extent of the injury.

A Cats spokesman said the 20-year-old was then admitted to hospital to ensure he rested for a couple of days under observation.

While the injury is significant enough, Thurlow has avoided surgery and the club remains hopeful it will not cause a significant interruption to his pre-season.
