Cats defender Jake Kolodjashnij is looking forward to a strong season in 2018 after not missing a session this pre-season. A big reversal from this time a year ago when he was restricted with Glandular Fever.

“I think I was only running this time last year, so to get a full pre-season in so far has been really pleasing for me and my body is in a really good position,” said Kolodjashnij.

After a long pre-season, Kolodjashnij said the team is really excited for Sunday’s JLT Community Series game against the Bombers.

“We obviously didn’t put in the best performance in Townsville, but we have not reviewed that too hard and we are looking to bounce back this week against Essendon, and hopefully prepare ourselves really well coming into round one.”
