GEELONG is hopeful Mathew Stokes' rolled ankle will only keep him out of action for one or two weeks, despite him currently hobbling around in a moon boot.

Stokes turned his ankle in a tackle in the Cats' two-point win over West Coast and was on crutches post-game.

But Geelong football manager Neil Balme said he didn't expect the small forward to be out longer than a fortnight.

"It's hard to put a time on it but maybe a week or two, I think," Balme said on SEN.

"We're not all that worried about it."

"While the docs were concerned about it, he's got a moon boot and all that to take the weight off it but it's not all that bad, they reckon."
