GEELONG will be chasing their second straight victory when they host West Coast at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.
Ahead of the highly anticipated clash geelongcats.com.au takes a look at which players are in the selection mix this week, presented by Vital Strength.
Jeremy Cameron
Coach Chris Scott confirmed post Geelong’s win against the Roos that Jeremy Cameron is ready to go and is set to play his first game in the hoops this weekend.
"He is ready to go and he is in," Scott declared.
"I am putting a bit of pressure on our medical and conditioning staff as well, but it's about time."
Jordan Clark
First out, first in? Clark was the medical substitute on Sunday and will be in the selection mix to return against West Coast on Saturday.
Quinton Narkle
Similar to Clark. Didn’t feature in the VFL and was a carryover emergency for the AFL. Likely to be in the mix again this week.
Zach Guthrie
Was the leading disposal winner with 26 touches and had a game-high 11 marks to be named in the Cats’ best.
Oscar Brownless
Named in the best for the ‘Bankers’ after gathering 23 touches and four clearances.
Was clean with his ball use around the stoppages and had nine handball receives, linking up well with his teammates between the two 50 metre arcs.
Ben Jarvis
Looked like making something happen each time he had the footy. Finished with four goals.
Max Holmes
Named in Geelong’s best after another eye-catching performance in the midfield.
Drove the ball inside 50 on 11 occasions with his acceleration away from stoppages and clean ball use in traffic a standout across the four quarters. Finished with 21 disposals and a game-high eight clearances.
Esava Ratugolea
Moved well and had a couple of nice moments both in the contest winning the football and in space hitting up his teammates on the lead.
One of those moments came in the second term, evading multiple Roos in traffic before executing a clever kick across his body to setup Callum Mitchell for Geelong’s third goal.
Josh Jenkins
Worked hard in attack for the Cats as the focal target inside 50.
Finished with 4.3 but that doesn’t reflect his ability to halve most contests, bringing the ball to ground to give his small forwards a chance.
Darcy Fort
Was the dominant ruckman on the ground, pushing forward and linking up with his midfielders in the contest with clean hands and clever taps to advantage.
Was the leading centre clearance player on the ground and can’t be far off pushing for his first senior game of the year.
Charlie Constable
Found plenty of the football on the weekend and was physical around the contest. He did appear to play a little more on the outside than in previous weeks with 10 handball receives as he looks to add another layer to his game.
