Geelong Cats vs Essendon Bombers, Community Series, live scores, how to watch, stats, highlights, results

Geelong and Essendon will compete at GMHBA Stadium tonight in both sides’ final clash before the season proper.

The Cats will be without Ollie Henry due to a rolled ankle but are otherwise set to field a full strength side as they look to hit the ground running in 2024.

The Bombers will be without ruckman Sam Draper and top 10 draft pick Nate Caddy, but have their four trade recruits from the off-season in the line-up.
