Geelong will welcome back a trio of AFL-listed talent among four changes for its VFL meeting with the Casey Demons.
Doubling as an AFL curtain raiser at GMHBA Stadium tomorrow afternoon, Jhye Clark has been dropped and will be joined by last week’s emergencies Mitch Duncan and Oli Wiltshire for the 3:50pm bounce.
It gives the Cats eight AFL-listed players for the clash.
Clark had five possessions after starting as the sub in the Round 1 win over Fremantle, while gathering 14 and 12 disposals, respectively, in the losses to St Kilda and Brisbane.
Ocean Grove product Kye Annand will play his first VFL match of the season.
Shaun Mannagh has been promoted to Geelong’s AFL line-up after a three goal effort in last week’s win over the Northern Bullants, Darcy Edmends is injured, and Taj Wyburd and Todd White have been omitted.
The Cats are unbeaten following consecutive wins over Sandringham and the Bullants to start the season, while the Demons have a draw with North Melbourne and a two-point win over Gold Coast to their name.
