GEELONG will unveil another Irish recruit when Oisin Mullin makes his AFL debut against GWS.
The Cats have named Mullin, Sam De Koning and Oliver Henry as their inclusions, with Max Holmes (knee) out injured and Sam Simpson rested.
Mullin, recruited as a Category B rookie last year from Gaelic football outfit Mayo, joins fellow Irish players Zach Tuohy and Mark O’Connor in the Cats’ team for his first AFL game.
“He’s just super explosive,” O’Connor told SEN radio.
“He played at full-back back home and he would have picked up some of the gun forwards, but his speed is probably the highlight.
“He’d put it up to anyone down here in terms of speed, so that’s very exciting and hopefully he can add the attack into his game and run off half-back.”
GWS have lost key trio Josh Kelly, Nick Haynes and Harry Himmelberg to injuries for their daunting trip to face Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.
Callum Brown, Lachie Keeffe and Daniel Lloyd return to play in captain Toby Greene’s 200th game.
