Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats; AFL 2023 round 12 match preview and team lists

Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats, AFL 2023 round 12, match preview and team lists
Ben Jensen GARY ROHAN will return for the Cats as they hope to get put May behind them and get their season back on track, but with Esava Ratugolea the latest to end up on the injury list, and the news Cameron Guthrie is to undergo surgery on a toe ensuring he won’t be seen until deep into the season, it isn’t looking good. Brandan Parfitt has been dropped. In the VFL the women play Casey Demons on Saturday at high noon, while the men will play Footscray in Werribee at 2:35PM. You’ll do well to make each match in person but it is theoretical possible to see a couple quarters of each VFL match before heading to Docklands for the AFL.
