Geelong has confirmed the return of key defender Sam De Koning and small forward Tyson Stengle for Sunday’s clash with St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium.
Ollie Henry and George Stevens make way, and will be emergencies along with Mitch Knevitt.
De Koning underwent shoulder surgery following the win over Essendon in Round 14, and Stengle has missed the games post the Cats’ bye for family reasons.
After an impressive first two seasons since arriving from Collingwood, Henry has struggled to have an impact in 2025.
He was sent back to the VFL before the bye but has had little influence in the three games since, having started twice as a substitute.
After 21 possessions on debut against Richmond, Stevens found the GWS Giants’ midfield a step-up in class, gathering seven disposals before being subbed out of the contest.
St Kilda has also made two changes.
Ryan Byrnes and Darcy Wilson replace injured pair Dan Butler (elbow) and Hugo Garcia (wrist)
