A six day turnaround to test the Cats resolve before their bye, and it doesn’t get much tougher in 2026. A trip to Perth to play the top of the ladder Dockers who are fresh off the bye.
One change to the squad from last Friday night’s white-out of the Suns. Bazlenka is out with illness and is being replaced by Jack Bowes.
On top of this being a top 4 clash, this week we have Lawson Humphries and Shaun Mannagh both playing their 50th game, and Tanner Bruhn playing his 50th game in Hoops.
If that’s not enough, this will be Blitz’s 307th match. With all of his matches being under Chris Scott, this is the new AFL/VFL record for games by a player under the one coach.
As it’s a Thursday clash we will not be having a viewing. Stay home, stay warm, and stay cheering on the Cats as they look to head into the bye with a win in another record setting clash.
