Jed Bews is in the frame to make his return against Essendon in Sunday's Country Game at the MCG.

Bews has been out of the side since entering concussion protocols against Hawthorn in Round 4, and has been named on the extended bench for the Cats. 

Cam Guthrie is the only confirmed out at this stage with a toe injury.

The final team will be announced on Friday at 5pm, with the substitute to be named one hour before first bounce.

This year's Country game will celebrate the country in the city, with a Country Festival Live Site in Yarra Park from 11am until the first bounce. The festival will include live acts from the Mik Maks, Luke Biscan and a DJ, as well as a petting zoo, sheep dogs, face painting, flight simulator, food trucks and more. Get your tickets here.

UPDATED: 9.30pm Thursday, 27 April
Please note, Brandan Parfitt (administrative error) has withdrawn from the Geelong Cats AFL squad for Sunday's Round Seven match against Essendon to be played at the MCG. Ollie Dempsey comes into the squad.
