LIVE AFL: Late change alert out on Cats as coach twins prepare to face off in blockbuster clash

Both Geelong and Essendon will be hoping to keep its recent promising form rolling on Sunday afternoon when the clubs clash at the MCG.

The Bombers (4-2, 120%) fell short of a fifth win against Collingwood last week, with a 28-point lead turning into a 13-point win thanks to a barnstorming final quarter by the Magpies.

The Cats (3-3, 137.7%) have regained confidence and form in recent weeks, winning their past three consecutive matches by an average margin of 74 points.
