Geelong has confirmed 2022 draftee Jhye Clark to make his debut against Richmond at the MCG on Friday night.

Clark will be the substitute for the clash, after Chris Scott shared on Thursday that the Geelong Falcons graduate would make his first senior appearance.

Brandan Parfitt will also come into the side after another dominant performance in the VFL, while last week's substitute Ollie Dempsey has been named in the starting line-up.

Patrick Dangerfield will miss with a hamstring strain, while Brad Close will serve a one-match suspension.

First bounce will be at 7.20pm local time at the MCG.
