Ben Jensen, 9 May 2019 GEELONG and North Melbourne play at Marvel Stadium this Mothers’ Day. Gary Ablett is free to play after being cleared by the AFL tribunal on Tuesday evening. The Cats have made one change so far, dropping Zach Guthrie who was a last minute replacement for Zach Tuohy last week who returns. Also returning is skipper Joel Selwood. SEE FINAL TEAM LISTS HERE
Regular inclusions for Sunday games Darcy Fort and James Parsons are included again along with Charlie Constable who was dropped last round; all three are on the expanded interchange as is Tuohy. Patrick Dangerfield and Esava Ratugolea who were injured during the win over Essendon have both been named. North Melbourne has not made any omissions but included four players including potential first gamers Curtis Taylor and Kyron Hayden.
The VFL men‘s side also play the Kangaroos but at the Avalon Airport Oval, not in a curtain raiser as the Cats had with the Bombers at the MCG last round; the VFL women starts this weekend, their round one VFLW match an away fixture to Melbourne University.
