An in-form Cats outfit has made two changes ahead of the round six match against the SUNS.

Their line-up has been bolstered by the inclusion of Lachie Henderson at Centre Half-Back, who has been managed in previous rounds. Jed Bews will also make his first senior appearance for the 2016 season, starting on the interchange bench.

Tom Lonergan is likely to head straight for Tom Lynch, charged with the mighty task of curtailing the forward’s impact on the game.

The SUNS came within nine points of the Cats last time they travelled to Geelong and this weekend’s match will be the first time Gary Ablett has played at Simonds Stadium since 2013.
