Geelong has announced their initial 26-player squad ahead of Sunday night's clash with the West Coast Eagles. 

Connor O'Sullivan returns to the squad after being managed last week, the Round 2 Rising Star nominee had featured in the opening 10 games of the season and is in line to make his first AFL appearance at Optus Stadium. 

Oli Wiltshire and George Stevens round out the inclusions, both youngsters added to an extended bench which features eight players, with no changes confirmed at this stage. 

Geelong will confirm their final team at 5.00pm on Friday afternoon, with five players to form the interchange and the remaining three to be listed as emergencies.

The Cats head west in Round 12 as they look to continue their momentum, taking on the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium from 7.20pm AEST on Sunday night. 

After registering back-to-back wins over the last fortnight, Geelong have ascended to fifth on the ladder and will be searching for their eighth win of the season this weekend. 

Following the trip to Perth, the Cats will return home for another blockbuster clash as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at GMHBA Stadium.
