Geelong Cats v Collingwood Magpies; AFL 2020 round 7 match preview and team lists

Geelong Cats v Collingwood Magpies; AFL 2020 round 7 match preview and team lists, Optus Stadium, Thursday 16 July 2020 20:10
Ben Jensen, 16 July 2020 GEELONG play another interstate ‘home’ fixture tonight, hosting Collingwood at Perth’s Optus Stadium. The Cats and Magpies have each made two enforced changes. Geelong midfield duo Jack Steven and Jordan Clark are recalled in favour of injured Mitch Duncan and Quinton Narkle.

Magpie Will Kelly is sadly going to miss the rest of 2020 with a fractured elbow sustained in his AFL debut while Matthew Scharenberg will likely only miss a week or two with a rib injury. Jordan De Goey and Josh Daicos return, De Goey after a club-imposed suspension following a drink driving incident and Daicos from an ankle injury. De Goey is also awaiting a court appearance (30 October 2020) for indecent assault after being charged earlier this month.
