LEOPOLD forward Jake Pitt will make his VFL debut after being included in the Geelong team for tonight’s clash with Frankston at Skybus Stadium.

The 27-year-old Adelaide product, who has two SANFL games with Glenelg on his resume, joined the GFL club in the off-season.

Pitt is among four changes for the Cats, with AFL-listed Nick Stevens, Bell Park’s Ben Worme, and Jack Leonard from North Shore also named to take on the Dolphins.

First-year ruck Toby Conway will miss through injury, VFL-listed pair Tom Panuccio and Lachie Waddell have been managed, and after making his debut last week, Matt Lloyd has been dropped.

The Cats will field up to ten AFL-listed players.

Eleven have been named, however, one of Shaun Higgins, Cooper Stephens, Quinton Narkle or Shannon Neale will be the AFL medi-sub and won’t travel around the bay.

Geelong Falcons premiership player Mitch Chafer, who has kicked 32 goals from 12 games with GFL club Grovedale, is one of the emergencies.
