Match Details
Geelong
Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood headline a strong squad named for the Cats JLT Powercor Country Festival game against the Bombers in Colac on Sunday.
The star Geelong pair will be joined by Harry Taylor who will bring some much-needed experience to the backline.
Geelong will trim its squad down from 30 to a starting 18, eight interchange and four emergencies on Friday.
Brandan Parfitt also returns to the Cats squad following his late withdrawal last week, while Lachlan Fogarty and Aaron Black among those make way.
Essendon
Essendon has trimmed its extended squad and listed a near full-strength final team to face Geelong in its second JLT Community Series match in Colac on Sunday.
Several key Bombers will take the field for the first time in 2018 after missing the team’s AFLX tournament and opening JLT loss to Richmond.
The inclusions will inject plenty of experience in the side as Michael Hurley, Cale Hooker, Tom Bellchambers, David Myers and James Stewart don the sash at Central Reserve on the weekend.
Speaking after selecting the initial extended squad on Thursday, Essendon coach John Worsfold said the match was a perfect opportunity to let the side’s three promising recruits – Devon Smith, Jake Stringer and Adam Saad – play for the first time with their senior teammates.
