Geelong will take a strong team into Saturday evening's VFL clash with Richmond at the Punt Road Oval.

Jack Henry makes his return after having his appendix removed following the round four match against Box Hill.

Timm House also makes a welcome return after missing only one match with a broken collarbone (his stint on the sidelines after having surgery did include two byes).

And VFL listed player Sam Dobson has been rewarded for his outstanding form with St Mary’s in the Geelong Football League.

Dobson has been called into the Cats' side after kicking 25 goals in the past month.
