GEELONG has named its Bendigo Bank Cats side to take on the Sandringham Dragons in the curtain-raising clash before Geelong takes on St Kilda. 

Charlie Constable, Nathan Kreuger, Darcy Fort and Lachie Fogarty will all return to the side in a much needed boost after the Cats dropped last week's encounter with Box Hill. 

The Cats sit eighth on the table with a six and six record, while Sandringham is just one win behind and sitting in 12th place. 

Harris and Dowling come out of the side, which will take to GMHBA Stadium at 3:45 PM on Saturday afternoon.
