Round 4: Adelaide v Geelong

Comment No Comments Posted by Mighty Blue & White at 13:37 on 17 April 2009

Rookie ruckman Shane Mumford has been promoted to the Cats’ senior list and will play his first AFL match for 2009, filling the number two spot in place of Trent West.

The AAMI Stadium match also marks the 150th AFL game for midfield star Gary Ablett Junior. Ablett debuted against the Bombers way back in Round 1, 2002 and has only missed around 19 senior matches in between.

Adelaide have divided footy fans with the inclusion of Nathan Bock, lifting his indefinite suspension after only one match. Bock and Robert Shirley replace injured pair Nick Gill and Scott Stevens.
