AFL Round 13, 2018, Geelong Cats v Richmond Tigers match preview

AFL Round 13 2018, Geelong Cats v Richmond Tigers, MCG, Sunday 17 June 2018, 15:20 AEST
Ben Jensen, June 13 2018 GEELONG play a ‘home’ game against Richmond on Sunday, the top four clash taking place on Sunday afternoon. On Thursday the Cats named five inclusions in their 26 man squad, the ‘final’ side to be named Friday evening. Named were Cory Gregson in a pocket, with Lincoln McCarthy, Sam Simpson, Jackson Thurlow and Zach Guthrie named on the interchange. Aaron Black will be missing after seriously injuring his knee in the win over North Melbourne in just his third game as a defender, Black to miss the rest of the season. The Tigers signalled at least two changes dropping Connor Menadue and Anthony Miles, recalling star Dustin Martin, Daniel Rioli, Ryan Garthwaite, Ivan Soldo, Jack Graham and Corey Ellis. Martin and Graham have been named in a position, the rest on the eight-man interchange.

On Friday night the Cats and Tigers confirmed their teams, Geelong confirming Gregson’s return as well as Zach Guthrie and Lincoln McCarthy. Making way in addition to the injured Black were omitted James Parsons and Jamaine Jones. Richmond confirmed the recall of Dustin Martin, Jack Graham and Daniel Rioli – omitting three players, Callum Moore, Anthony Miles and Connor Menadue. The VFLW resumes, the Cats playing the Darebin Falcons on Saturday at GMHBA Stadium, the VFL blokes also playing on Saturday but in Port Melbourne.
