A big day today at GMHBA Stadium, with the AFL and AFLW double header.
JEREMY CAMERON will make his return to football since suffering a horrible AC (shoulder) joint injury over a month ago. Three hundred gamer Mark Blicavs has been rested while Jack Martin and Sam De Koning also return. De Koning like Martin has been in and out of the AFL side featuring in the VFL. In bad news Ollie Wiltshire is out with a foot injury although it appears it was touch and go, while James Worpel will miss potentially the rest of the season with a hamstring.
In the AFLW match with St Kilda that kicks off at 5pm, Geelong has selected an unchanged side from the team that played North Melbourne in Round 1. Becky Webster is set to become the first Geelong AFLW player to reach 75 games for the club. Saint debutant Saoirse Lally will play her first AFLW game, while Darcy Guttridge returns after missing Round 1 with a back injury.
There is no VFL match for the Cats this week with the AFL-controlled VFL also adopting the ‘wildecard’ round – though in this case with 22 teams we can see their point. Geelong finished top of the ladder with sixteen wins from eighteen (why so few) matches. Richmond evidently forgot there’s no VFL draft finishing in twenty-first spot with just four wins. But there is VFLW action for the Cats playing a noon fixture against Carlton at IKON Park (Princess Park) today.
