GEELONG VFL players Jack Hollmer and Matt Firman will play on the hallowed MCG for the first time on Saturday.
The VFL side will play Coburg in the curtain-raiser to the round eight AFL clash between Geelong and Richmond.
Hollmer said it was a great opportunity for the VFL Cats and shows there is still a place for old-fashioned curtain-raiser games.
"It should be great. I've only been there a couple of times and I've never played there," Hollmer said. "Hopefully we get a few people along to have a look. We're all looking forward to it."
Hollmer and Firman are two of 14 players in the 22-player Cats team that have never played at the MCG before.
But with at least 17 Geelong-listed players in the Cats' VFL side and 15 in Coburg's, the grand final replay is set to be high quality.
