Geelong fans will be treated to eight periods of play in a huge night of footy at GMHBA Stadium on Thursday. 

The Cats’ first competitive hit-out of 2023 will be a match simulation featuring the club’s AFL and VFL-listed players as they take on Hawthorn and the Box Hill Hawks.

Each of the eight ‘quarters’ will run for 30 minutes, with first bounce at 4pm. The first four quarters will feature AFL-listed players, before VFL players swap in for the second half of play.

Entry is FREE for members and fans of both clubs, with gates to open at 3.30pm.

For those unable to make it, the first four quarters will be streamed live on Kayo and broadcast on Foxtel.
