GEELONG captain Joel Selwood is in doubt for next week's semi-final after undergoing finger surgery on Friday.
Selwood dislocated his left middle finger during the final quarter of the Cats' loss to Port Adelaide in Thursday night's qualifying final.
CATS FALL SHORT Full match coverage and stats
He had surgery to stabilise the joint, but the club is still hopeful he will be able to play next week.
The Cats will 'host' either West Coast or Collingwood in a cut-throat final most likely at the Gabba next week.
