Geelong has named Tyson Stengle and recalled veteran duo Zach Tuohy and Rhys Stanley among four changes for Saturday’s twilight meeting with Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium.
The Cats also welcome back Tom Atkins from a back issue.
Tuohy returns after being managed out of last week’s win over North Melbourne, while Rhys Stanley will make his first AFL appearance since the Round 14 loss to Sydney.
They replace veteran Mitch Duncan, who has been managed, dynamic forward Gary Rohan (concussion), and rookie Ted Clohesy, who has been dropped after two games as the starting substitute.
Adelaide welcomes back captain Jordan Dawson and veteran midfielder Matt Crouch among four changes.
Nick Murray and Josh Worrell have also been included.
Chayce Jones will be missing for personal reasons, while James Borlase, Brayden Cook, and Elliott Himmelberg have been dropped.
