THE end to the Brad Ottens saga finally appears in sight, with the Geelong ruckman a chance to return through the VFL this week.

The 29-year-old, who has not played since round two because of a knee injury, will take part in the Cats' main training session of the week today.

If he gets through that, coach Mark Thompson said he would likely line-up for the reserves (WTF!) team on Saturday morning, with a view to play in the seniors the following week.
