Three AFL-listed players and two debutants are among seven changes for Geelong when it takes on North Melbourne at Arden Street Oval in the VFL on Saturday.
Brandan Parfitt, Mitch Knevitt and Phoenix Foster all return to the line-up, with Tanner Bruhn and Jed Bews getting the call-up to the AFL team this week.
Geelong Falcons graduates Jack Sarcevic (from Bell Park) and Ethan Borys (South Barwon) will pull on the Hoops for the first time at VFL level, while Tanner Lewis and Ryan Eyers round out the inclusions as the Cats prepare to take on the Kangaroos.
After playing out a draw in difficult conditions against second-placed Footscray last weekend, the Cats will be looking to keep building on their improvement this season as the competition heads into its final month of the home and away season.
First bounce is at 1.05pm, with the match set to be live streamed via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
