CASEY has finalised is side to face Geelong on Friday afternoon, naming six changes to its team.
Entering the final list is a flurry of AFL-listed players in Blake Howes, Aidan Johnson, Ollie Sestan, Jack Billings and Jai Culley.
Culley is set to play his first official game of the season, returning from injury following his whirlwind signing by Melbourne in February.
In addition to Melbourne's five additions, Mitch Hardie will play his first game for Casey, fittingly named to play against his former side, Geelong.
After kicking five goals last weekend for Casey, Daniel Turner earned a call-up to senior football, while Max Gregory, Chance Doultree, Jesse Craven, Charlie Peters have all been omitted. Wardell Lual will miss the Round 3 match due to injury.
The Friday game will take place at GMHBA Stadium from 3:50pm on 4 April.
