JONATHON Ceglar will make his club debut in Geelong's Round 20 clash with the Western Bulldogs at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday at 7.25pm.

The experienced ruckman joined the Cats after playing 101 senior games at Hawthorn and will replace the injured Rhys Stanley.

Ceglar has been in excellent form for the Bendigo Bank Cats in the VFL in recent weeks, including a standout performance against Casey in Round 16.

Tom Stewart also returns after serving a four-game suspension, joining a Geelong outfit chasing a 10th consecutive victory.

Stewart replaces Zach Tuohy who is completing the AFL's Health and Safety Protocols.

Saturday’s blockbuster clash will be a special occasion for skipper Joel Selwood who will play his 350th AFL game for the Cats.
