The Cats have confirmed their team for Sunday's Gather Round clash, making three changes as they prepare to take on West Coast at Norwood Oval. 

In exciting news, premiership Cat Jake Kolodjashnij will make his long-awaited return to Geelong's AFL team, set to play his first game at the elite level since the 2024 Preliminary Final. 

Mark O'Connor will also return to take on the Eagles after being managed last week, while James Worpel has earned a recall after a pair of strong performances in the VFL. 

As confirmed on Thursday night, Mark Blicavs will be managed and will not line-up for the Cats on Sunday afternoon, while Geelong will also manage Jack Martin and Jack Henry. 

The match will also see two milestones reached, with James Worpel set to play his 150th game and Shannon Neale his 50th.

Geelong will take on the West Coast Eagles on Sunday afternoon as part of the AFL's Gather Round, heading to Norwood Oval for the first time in the club's V/AFL history with the game set to commence at 12.30pm AEST.
