GEELONG VFL captain James Byrne could miss up to eight weeks of football after being told he'll need surgery on an injured thumb.

The reigning JJ Liston medallist injured the thumb during the Cats' 34-point loss to Coburg at the MCG on Saturday and will go under the knife as soon as possible.

The injury has probably robbed him of the chance to captain Victoria in the state game against the SANFL in a fortnight.

The news was better for a few other Cats who were also wounded by game's end.
