Tanner Bruhn is set to return from injury with the VFL Cats on Saturday, headlining a list of four inclusions to take on Footscray at GMHBA Stadium. 

Bruhn has not played since the round 14 clash with Sydney, after fracturing his left scaphoid at training. 

Jhye Clark has also been named after a stint with the AFL side, while Oscar Murdoch and Liam Kershaw round out the inclusions. 

Mitch Knevitt comes out of the team after earning an AFL recall, while Phoenix Foster, Ryley Hutchins and Hunter Gottschling will all miss the clash with the Bulldogs. 

The VFL Cats will host Footscray at GMHBA Stadium in an exciting curtain raiser, with the first bounce at 3.40pm before the AFL sides do battle at 7.30pm. 

All matches in the 2024 Smithy’s VFL and VFLW seasons are also live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
