Geelong has named a strong lineup for its AAMI Community Series clash against Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night.
The annual Powercor Country Festival game between the Cats and Bombers will commence at 7.10pm AEDT.
Geelong has included five fresh faces in the team that didn't play AFL football for the Cats last season.
Star recruits Jeremy Cameron, Shaun Higgins and Isaac Smith have been named in Geelong's 26-man squad alongside second-year Cats Sam De Koning and Francis Evans, who are yet to make their AFL debuts.
After missing last week's practice match win against Collingwood, Geelong supporters will get their first glimpse of Smith in the blue and white hoops after he has been named to start on a wing.
