West Coast Eagles v Geelong Cats; AFL 2020 round 9 match preview and team lists

West Coast Eagles v Geelong Cats; AFL 2020 round 9 match preview and team lists, Optus Stadium, Saturday 1 August 2020 20:10
Ben Jensen, 1 August 2020 TIM KELLY faces his old side Geelong tonight for the first time as a West Coast Eagle after crossing following two seasons with the Cats. The Cats have named an unchanged side from that which easily accounted for the Fremantle Dockers at the same venue last Monday night. Five days later they face an Eagles side who’s made two changes including debutant Harry Edwards.

In what may or may not be a world first there are two umpires with the name Dalgleish; field umpire Jeff and boundary umpire Brett. We are not sure which one we want to call ‘King Kenny’ so we’ll call them both Kenny for now.
