K Rock Football | Reigning GFNL leading goalkicker Adam Garner will be missing from the Colac line-up for tomorrow night’s Opening Round meeting with Bell Park at Central Reserve.

The star forward suffered a hamstring injury in a practice match last month and is unlikely to be seen until after the Easter break.

Garner kicked a career-best 62 goals in 2024 to become just the second Tiger to win the award.

Colac also couldn’t consider veteran defender Jarryn McCormack, who is battling an ankle injury.

The Tigers will unveil four debutants.

Essendon VFL-listed Oskar Smartt will play alongside uncle Kane for the first time, while Port Melbourne-listed Jack Skinner has also been named.

They’ve also handed a debut to Alvie recruit Micah Robb, while all eyes will be on former St Kilda star Seb Ross in his first match as playing co-coach.
