After taking an unchanged team into last week’s win over Collingwood, Geelong has maintained stability by making one change for Saturday night’s meeting with GMHBA Stadium.
Midfielder Mitch Knevitt returns for his third game of the season in place of youngster Jhye Clark, who has been dropped.
Rhys Stanley, Brandan Parfitt and rookie Ted Clohesy are the emergencies.
Knevitt played as the substitute in the Round 2 win over Adelaide but was out of the AFL team until the victory over Essendon in Round 16.
After gathering 13 disposals and kicking a goal against the Bombers, he maintained his spot for the following week’s clash with Hawthorn.
However, Knevitt was a late withdrawal due to illness.
With the Cats comfortably taking care of the Hawks, he was forced to press his claims via the VFL last week, tallying 21 disposals.
