Geelong has made one change ahead of Saturday's clash with Essendon at the MCG. 

Star midfielder, Bailey Smith is set to return to the Cats line-up after missing last week with hamstring tightness. 

Smith has been incredibly important for Geelong in their three games at the MCG so far this year, averaging 30 disposals and four clearances per game while also pushing forward to hit the scoreboard on two occasions. 

Despite missing last week, the on-baller still remains the outright leader on the 2025 coaches votes leaderboard, looking to continue his sensational first season with Geelong against the Bombers on Saturday. 

Ted Clohesy (omitted) makes way for the Round 14 clash. 

Geelong will head up the highway on Saturday afternoon as they look to extend their four game winning streak, taking on the Bombers from 4.15pm AEST at the MCG. 

The match will be part of Fox Footy's Super Saturday coverage, with the game to be broadcast through Fox and streamed through Kayo from 4.00pm. Secure a Cats Digital Membership to see all the action, which provides a Kayo subscription.
