Geelong has named its 27-man squad for Sunday's clash JLT Community Series with Essendon in Bendigo.
Andrew Mackie is back after missing the loss to the Crows in Adelaide, while Cameron Guthrie has also been named after shaking off his calf problem.
Guthrie's younger brother Zach, who was very impressive in the Cats' first two pre-season games against Hawthorn and Adelaide, has been left out.
Lincoln McCarthy is in the squad at this stage despite suffering a shoulder injury last weekend.
Geelong v Essendon, Queen Elizabeth Oval (Bendigo), 4.10pm AEDT
