\n Geelong has selected their team for Saturday night’s blockbuster clash with Collingwood at the MCG\n <\/p>\n
Geelong has made one change for Saturday night football, as the Cats prepare to head up the highway for a clash with Collingwood in their lone Melbourne home game in the 2026 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The inclusion for Geelong is premiership ruckman Rhys Stanley, who has been selected to play his first AFL game this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley’s last appearance at the top level came in the 2025 Grand Final, with the big Cat playing five games in the VFL, averaging 15 disposals and 28 hit-outs per game across that span.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mitch Edwards is set to be managed this week and will miss Saturday night’s game, after featuring in seven consecutive matches and making a strong start to his AFL career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tom Stewart is also a confirmed starter and has been named in the back pocket, as the star defender prepares for the 200th AFL game of his career this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Geelong return to the MCG for the second time in 2026, as they prepare for a blockbuster battle against Collingwood on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Cats produced a strong finish to secure victory last week against North Melbourne and will be looking to carry that momentum into Round 9, set to be another early season test and a chance to solidify their spot in the top eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tickets are available through Ticketek<\/a> for Geelong fans looking to head to the MCG for the match, or make the most of a special membership deal<\/a> celebrating Tom Stewart’s milestone match.\u00a0<\/p>\n For those who can not make it to the MCG, the game will be broadcast on Fox Footy and streamed through Kayo from 7.30pm, or tune in on K rock<\/a> to listen to all the action from 6.00pm.<\/p>\n
