Geelong will welcome back a host of AFL experience this weekend, when they face the Brisbane Lions at Brighton Holmes Arena on Saturday.

Zach Tuohy and Esava Ratugolea have both been named in the team for their first VFL game of the season, with the AFL team to finalise their team and substitute later in the afternoon.

Brandan Parfitt will return for the clash against the Lions after missing last week with a hand injury, while Phoenix Foster also returns after missing against Essendon last Sunday.

The Cats are set to take on Brisbane from 11:00am at Brighton Holmes Arena on Saturday. The match will be streamed live and free on the official AFL App and website.
