    Team Selection | Round 17

    The Cats have named their team for Saturday night’s clash against Hawthorn

    Proudly presented by

    Simonds Homes

    The Cats have made two changes for Saturday afternoon’s blockbuster against Hawthorn at GMHBA Stadium.

    Shaun Mannagh returns for his third AFL game, earning a recall after an impressive six goal performance for the VFL Cats last Sunday. 

    The goal sneak has been in terrific form, booting 20 goals from his last six VFL matches while also averaging 17 disposals per game in 2024.

    Ollie Henry also returns to the side after missing last week’s win over Essendon through injury. 

    Jhye Clark and Mark O’Connor have both been omitted for the clash with the Hawks. 

    The Cats will do battle with Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon at 4.35pm, in front of a packed GMHBA Stadium with tickets officially sold out earlier today.  

    Geelong are also hosting a Kids Festival prior to the game, as part of the AFL’s Kids Go Free Month initiative with activities starting from 2pm at Geelong Cricket Oval, click here for more details. 

    The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and streamed via Kayo, or fans can listen to all the coverage on K rock Football from 3.00pm.
