Geelongs miserly defence has proven adaptable this AFL season and Harry Taylor expects that to continue in the absence of Lachie Henderson.Henderson underwent knee surgery earlier this week and its unclear when he will be fit to return.It is a pre-finals blow to the Cats, who have conceded the least number of goals this season with the exception of ladder-leading Sydney.But its far from unchartered territory for Taylor and his fellow backmen, who host Melbourne in a crunch clash on Saturday.Henderson was knocked out in a round-17 win over Fremantle and missed the following two weeks, while he played forward in last Sundays 60-point win over Brisbane.Geelongs key-defender stocks were also depleted in a round-eight triumph over the Crows at Adelaide Oval, where Tom Lonergan was concussed in the opening minutes.Weve been able to mix and match and handle losing one of the tall guys pretty well so Im hopeful that will be the case for this week and however long we dont have Lach, Taylor told AAP.Last week we adapted pretty well when he was in a different position.Weve got some guys who have been able to help throughout the season and Im sure theyll do the same.Cameron Guthrie has played a little bit more defence in recent weeks and Tommy Ruggles has played a fair bit there now.Taylor noted Henderson, who joined Geelong during last years trade period, remains really confident he will feature in the finals.Hes an ultra professional person who manages his body well .. that gives you a really good chance of coming back quicker, the veteran said.The Cats can finish as high as first or low as sixth depending on results in the final round of the season.Taylor suggested it was an incredibly important match - even if you put the ladder scenarios to one side.You dont want to go into finals battling for form and not really confident about what youre doing, the two-time premiership player said.And the 30-year-old recalls all too well the last time he faced Melbourne, when the visitors ruined Corey Enrights 300th game with a shock victory in Geelong last year.It was a really disappointing loss. It stung for a long time. Im sure all the guys whove played a lot of footy with him (Enright) remember that day and how much it hurt, he said.But weve got a really different team now. Melbournes team is quite different and the stakes are different too. Cheap New Balance Shoes Online .
