Triple premiership superstar Brad Ottens will be given the honour of ringing the iconic timekeeper’s bell on Friday night at the MCG.

In a public poll, Cats fans overwhelmingly voted for the bell, which has been a part of the Simonds Stadium match day for the past three years, to be taken to the MCG for Friday night’s game.

And with the epic battle between the Cats and Tigers, there was no more fitting past player than the former Cat and Tiger to ring the bell.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early for the game. Ottens will be interviewed on ground at 7.20pm before ringing the bell at 7.40pm when the Cats run out.
