The VFL Cats have made three changes for their Round 16 clash, as they prepare to take on Richmond at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Talented young forward Jacob Molier headlines the inclusions, set to play his fifth VFL game of the season and his first since the Round 10 victory over Carlton.
Experienced on-baller Jay Rantall will also return this week for his first game since Round 9, while Lachlan Weidemann rounds out the additions to the team.
Geelong will lose some experience this week with the trio of Jack Bowes (AFL), Mitch Knevitt and Jhye Clark to miss Saturday's game, but there will still be 15 AFL-listed players featuring against the Tigers.
The VFL Cats will look to extend their advantage on top of the ladder this weekend, when they take on Richmond at GMHBA Stadium from 12.05pm AEST on Saturday.
Entry is free for members, show your Geelong Cats membership at the gate, with Gate 13 open from 11.20am. Food and beverage will be available for purchase, while tickets for non-members can also be purchased at the gate.
