Despite a significantly expanding injury list, the Bombers will call upon a number of players to step up to the task in an effort to match the benchmark of the competition Cats’ side.
The Bombers will be without captain Jobe Watson, as well as key midfielder Sam Lonergan who is likely to miss the remainder of the season with a grade three tear to his medial ligament.
The last time the two sides met in Round 12 2010, Geelong overpowered the Bombers 23.16.(154) to 12.11.(83).
