Geelong will unveil another debutant in Sunday's VFL clash with North Melbourne, with Wangaratta footballer and former Murray Bushranger Hunter Gottschling set to make his debut.
Gottschling has been named among four inclusions for the Cats for the game at GMHBA Stadium.
Marcus Herbert returns after missing last week with a calf injury, while Thomas Panuccio and Jack Evans also return to the line-up.
Osca Riccardi (back tightness) and Tom Feely (foot) will miss the clash through injury, while Jamie Quick has been named an emergency, and Oisin Mullin has received a call-up to the AFL side this week.
First bounce for the VFL match will be at 5.35pm on Sunday, following the AFL clash at GMHBA Stadium.
Patrons who would like to attend the VFL match will be asked to make their way to Gate 5 at the conclusion of the AFL game. Gate 5 will open at 5.05pm for the public to enjoy the VFL match from the Reg Hickey Stand.
Entry is free for Cats members and AFL Round 17 ticket holders. VFL tickets are $10 for non-members.
