GEELONG will hold its players accountable for poor performance if they continue the form displayed in the past two games.

Cats coach Chris Scott admitted the team was frustrated with their recent showings in consecutive losses to Melbourne and North Melbourne and everyone was taking responsibility.

"The past two weeks have been very poor, very poor," Scott said.

"We're embarrassed about it and we're determined as a coaching group to provide the best leadership we possibly can and I know the playing group are motivated to turn things around."

Geelong sits 12th on the ladder with just six wins from 13 games, plus two points from the cancelled clash with Adelaide.

It's an uncustomary position for a club that has played in every finals series since 2007 and won three premierships in that time.

Scott would not be specific on players who were under pressure but it was clear no one would be immune from scrutiny if their form did not lift.

"If poor performance continues then we all get held accountable," Scott said.

However he indicated the decisions would be considered when and if a time came to make significant changes.

"We've got some individuals who have been a little bit down but we're also not completely ignoring the fact that prior to that we have been in pretty good form or have been playing pretty well as a team," Scott said.

"We're very confident that good football is within the capabilities of this group."

Scott indicated that midfielder Mitch Duncan, who has been sidelined with a broken foot, could be a surprise selection although Duncan said on the weekend he was two weeks away.

The coach was also heartened by good performances in the VFL from players such as Dean Gore, George Horlin-Smith, Nakia Cockatoo and Billie Smedts, as well as Jimmy Bartel's strong return to senior football.

He said the return of Daniel Menzel in the VFL had also buoyed the club.

Menzel has had four reconstructions since injuring his knee in the 2011 qualifying final but got through his first game since April 2013 on Saturday.

"Our instruction as a coaching group was for Dan just to get through. We weren't putting any measures on his performance whatsoever. We just wanted him to get out there and get a game under his belt but having said that he actually looked pretty good and he looked pretty good at training as well," Scott said.

He said the club's aim if everything went to plan was for Menzel to play senior football before the end of the year.

"My best laid plans [are] he comes back to AFL and plays very, very well but there are quite a few steps between here and then,” Scott said.
