It will be a family affair in the Cats second VFL practice match with three members of the Guthrie family selected to play.
Cam, Zach and VFL listed Josh will all run out in the blue and white hoops for the first time ever. Cam, who injured his calf in the JLT1 clash, and Zach who missed the final JLT clash with knee soreness will join Steven Motlop as the Cats only senior and rookie listed players.
Essendon on the other hand will field a very strong team including Heath Hocking, Cale Hooker and Aaron Francis.
The clash will take place on Friday night at Simonds Stadium with the action kicking off at 6.30pm. Entry is free.
