Brandan Parfitt and Jordan Clark are among five Cats who have been included for Geelong’s round seven Powercor Country Festival clash against Essendon at the MCG on Sunday.

Both players have been named on an extended interchange.

If selected in the final 22 on Friday, Clark and Parfitt will play their first match since Geelong’s Easter Monday win against the Hawks after missing the match against the Eagles.

Geelong's other inclusions are Darcy Fort, James Parsons and Zach Guthrie, who have been rewarded for their consistent performances for the Bendigo Bank Cats in the VFL.

If named in the final team, Fort will make his AFL debut.

The only out for the Cats at this stage is Charlie Constable who has been omitted.

This weekend’s clash against the Bombers promises to be another great contest. Fans of both sides are encouraged to arrive to the game early to enjoy the FREE Powercor Country Festival Farmers Market in the Yarra Park Precinct from 11am.

The festival will feature more than 40 stallholders showcasing the best food and wine from across regional Victoria. There will also be plenty of activities for the family and live entertainment from Kasey Chambers and John Williamson.
