Geelong has made four changes for tomorrow night’s blockbuster meeting with the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.
Premiership trio Gryan Miers, Jack Henry and Mark Blicavs return from injury, while Mitch Edwards is back after being managed for last week’s win over Collingwood.
They replace James Worpel and Jake Kolodjashnij, who have been listed as managed, and omitted duo Rhys Stanley and Jack Bowes.
Miers, who has a widely reported partial tear of his ACL, last appeared at AFL level in the Gather Round win over West Coast on April 12, but negotiated three quarters in the VFL last week.
Henry (foot soreness) and Blicavs (knee) haven’t played since the loss to Port Adelaide on Anzac Day.
The Lions have made two changes, with Queenscliff product Darcy Gardiner and Sam Marshall replacing injured former Cat Linc McCarthy and the omitted Darragh Joyce.
