The Cats have named a strong team for their official practice match against Essendon on Saturday.
Geelong will take a squad of 24 players up the highway to Windy Hill, looking to build momentum as they prepare for the opening game of their 2024 season on August 31.
Anna-Rose Kennedy has been added to the squad, the lone change for the Cats from the team that took on Collingwood in a match simulation last week.
The clash with Essendon will be the first official hit-out for a number of new recruits, including draftee's Bryde O'Rourke and Chantal Mason.
Entry is FREE for the game against the Bombers, with the match to also be live streamed via the Club’s website.
