A knee injury will sideline Gryan Miers from Geelong’s blockbuster meeting with the Western Bulldogs at GMHBA Stadium tomorrow night.
The Cats have made three changes for the clash, welcoming back Mark Blicavs for his 300th AFL game, captain Patrick Dangerfield, and dynamic forward Jack Martin.
However, Jack Henry, who was reported to be battling an oblique injury, is an emergency.
Joining Miers in going out of the team that defeated West Coast in Gather Round are the suspended Mark O’Connor and small forward Brad Close, who has been listed as managed.
Close is also an emergency, but neither he nor Henry has been named in the VFL team, which will play a curtain raiser from 3:15pm.
The Bulldogs have made three changes,
Harvey Gallagher and ex Gold Coast Sun Connor Budarick are injured, with Josh Dolan dropped.
Veteran Tom Liberatore is back, as is Geelong Falcons product Lachie Jaques and Will Lewis.
