The VFL Cats have named a 26-man squad for this Friday night’s practice match against Richmond VFL at Punt Road Oval.
Joel Selwood will make his long-awaited return to football in tomorrow night’s hit-out after a plantar fasciitis injury slowed down his pre-season campaign.
Daniel Menzel will also line up for the VFL Cats after a strong performance in the club’s first NAB Challenge match against Collingwood on February 26.
Both teams will only play 23 active players at one time and have the ability to sub players in and out at half time.
The practice match will kick off at 6:30pm at Punt Road Oval and is open to the public.
Gates open from 5:30pm – enter through the gates at the Punt Road end. Entry is free.
With a number of coinciding events underway throughout the precinct that evening, supporters are encouraged to take public transport to Richmond Station.
Parking will be available in Yarra Park from 5:30pm – entry via Gate 5 (off Punt Road). Cost is $10 per car.
Fans can follow @GeelongVFL on Twitter for updates.
