Carton Blues v Geelong Cats, AFL 2022 round 18 match preview and team lists
Ben Jensen JAKE KOLODJASHNIJ will return from concussion this Saturday night against the Blues at the MCG. Jed Bews has been managed while Brandan Parfitt has been prevented from returning due to a Covid-enforced euphemism of ‘health and safety protocol. Cooper Stephens, Esava Ratugolea and Shannon Neale have been named emergencies along with Bews while last week’s medical sub Quinton Narkle has not been named at all. Geelong’s VFL side has not yet been announced but will be available on the AFL/VFL website [click here]. The ‘up and about’ Blues have likewise made just one official change, dropping two players including last week’s sub.
