Geelong has made seven changes for Sunday's VFL clash against Carlton at IKON Park. 

After being a late withdrawal last week, Jake Kolodjashnij will line-up for his first game of the 2025 season alongside Ted Clohesy, who returns after being a late inclusion for the Easter Monday AFL match against Hawthorn. 

In exciting news for the Cats, Xavier Ivisic and Keighton Matofai-Forbes have both been named for their first game in the Hoops after the pair were drafted to Geelong at the end of 2024. 

Brock Williamson, Taj Wyburd and Jamieson Ballantyne all round out the inclusions for Sunday's match. 

Oli Wiltshire comes out of the side after it was announced that he will make his AFL debut at the MCG on Sunday afternoon, with Jhye Clark also set to return to the Cats AFL side. 

Darcy Edmends will miss through injury while Todd White, Will Sheahan, Osca Riccardi and Doyle Madigan have all been omitted. 

All matches in the 2025 Smithy’s VFL and VFLW seasons will be live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
