Geelong has made four changes as they look to continue their hot form this weekend, set to take on Sandringham on Saturday afternoon in search of a sixth consecutive victory.
Headlining the inclusions for the Cats is emerging forward Jay Polkinghorne, who has overcome a foot injury and is set to feature in his first game since the Round 2 clash with Box Hill.
Brad Close has also been named for Geelong, while VFL-listed players Mason Williams and Lewis Antonac round out the inclusions for the Round 11 clash.
Jack Bowes and Oli Wiltshire come out of the side after returning to the Cats’ AFL team, Jacob Molier will miss this week through injury, while Hunter Holmes is set to be managed.
The VFL Cats will take on Sandringham from 2.35pm AEST on Saturday afternoon at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval, looking to build on their two-game advantage on top of the VFL ladder.
Every game of the 2026 Smithy's VFL season can also be streamed through the AFL app and via afl.com.au.
