The Cats made just one change to the side who beat the Demons after the siren last weekend, dropping Jamaine Jones in favour of fellow youngster Lachie Fogarty or ‘L Fog’ as the KRock boys call him.

Brisbane have made two changes losing Tom Cutler to suspension and dropping Cedric Cox. Coming in for the Lions is former Hawthorn player Luke Hodge and fourth year player  Harris Andrews. No VFL action for either Geelong side this week, both having the bye.
