Geelong has named Jack Henry and Lawson Humphries, but held back Tom Stewart and Rhys Stanley, as it made two changes for Saturday’s clash with Yartapuulti (Port Adelaide) at Adelaide Oval.
Henry hasn’t played since suffering a hamstring injury in the Round 4 win over Melbourne on April 4, while Humphries has exited the concussion protocol that saw him miss the loss to the GWS Giants.
The Cats are taking the conservative approach with Stewart and Stanley, the latter named as an emergency.
The vice-captain will miss his third match with a knee issue, while Stanley will be given a further five days leading into next Thursday’s blockbuster meeting with the Western Bulldogs.
Young midfielders Jhye Clark and Ted Clohesy have been dropped.
Willie Rioli returns from serving a one-match AFL-imposed suspension among two changes for the Power.
Logan Evans is also back, with Kane Farrell (knee) and Jed McEntee going out of the team that lost narrowly to Adelaide in last week’s Showdown.
