The VFL Cats will welcome back Billie Smedts and Zac Bates from injury this weekend. Smedts will line up for the VFL Cats this Sunday at Simonds Stadium after breaking his leg earlier in the year. Bates will also play his first game for some time after recovering from a quad injury.
Padraig Lucey will also return after being managed last week.
The VFL Cats lose James Parsons (managed), Ryan Gardner (quad) and James Tsitas (managed).
Campbell Floyd has again been selected as the Cats’ 23rd player.
