Jeremy Cameron continues his quest towards 100 goals as Geelong looks to climb into the top two when it faces Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night.
The Cats (14-6, 138.6%), who can move past Collingwood in second place on the ladder with a win, have rested Patrick Dangerfield as Mitch Knevitt returns to Chris Scott’s side.
Meanwhile the injury-ravaged Bombers (6-13, 72%) will be up against it as they try to snap a nine-game losing streak in arguably footy’s toughest road trip. Jye Menzie returns for Oskar Smartt as Brad Scott’s only change.
