Toby Conway

TOBY Conway headlines four inclusions for Geelong's VFL clash with Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Conway will play his first game of the season after completing a successful training block where he's been developing his ruck craft with Josh Jenkins and Brad Ottens, and fellow AFL-listed ruckman Rhys Stanley and Jon Ceglar.

The Bendigo Bank Cats also regain the services of Oliver Dempsey and Oisin Mullin who featured in Geelong's AFL side last week, and Tom Feely who have overcome the foot injury that saw his miss last week's VFL clash with North Melbourne.

Brandan Parfitt will miss the clash through injury, whilst Phoenix Foster, Will Christie and Jack Evans also make way.
