Geelong has made two changes ahead of their Round 7 VFL clash, as they prepare to head up the highway to take on Collingwood at Victoria Park.
Headlining the inclusions for Saturday's match is star Cat Gryan Miers, with the clever forward set to play his first game since Geelong's AFL Gather Round clash against West Coast.
Joining Miers in the starting line-up for the Round 7 match is Jay Rantall, who is set to make his first appearance since the VFL Cats' Round 3 victory over Werribee.
Rhys Stanley comes out of the side after earning a recall to Geelong's AFL team, while Jhye Clark will miss this week due to concussion protocols.
The Cats will be looking to extend their strong form and solidify their spot atop the VFL ladder this weekend, as they prepare to take on Collingwood at Victoria Park from 12.05pm AEST on Saturday afternoon.
Every game of the 2026 Smithy's VFL season can also be streamed through the AFL app and via afl.com.au.
