Geelong defender pretends to be sick in bizarre joke…

Geelong defender Tom Stewart has bizarrely claimed he was sent home from the club due to illness, when he wasn’t.

It came just days after Tom Lonergan missed the semi-final win due to illness, sparking fears of a gastro outbreak at Kardinia Park.

Stewart, who suffered a hamstring injury on Friday night, told reporters to steer clear from him on Monday because he had gastro.

It’s since been revealed by the Cats he doesn’t.
