Geelong Cats v St Kilda Saints; AFL 2019 round 17 match preview and team lists, GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 13 July 2019 7:25PM
Ben Jensen, 11 July 2019 ESAVA RATUGOLEA and Brandan Parfitt return from injury to play the Saints at GMHBA Stadium this Saturday night in place of omitted Lachie Fogarty and ‘managed’ defender Jack Henry. Henry remains on the four man emergency list along with Scott Selwood (yet to play an AFL game in 2019), defender Zach Guthrie and ruckman Ryan Abbott.

Cats coach Chris Scott said today that Nakia Cockatoo and Sam Menegola are close to a comeback – Cockatoo likely not for a few weeks but Menegola sooner, though he was not named to play VFL against Sandringham on Saturday. All three sides play on Saturday at GMHBA Stadium – the women at 1pm, men 3:45pm while the AFL match kicks off at 7:25pm.
