JARED Rivers and Tom Hawkins headline the inclusions in Geelong’s 25-man squad for Sunday’s game against North Melbourne at Simonds Stadium.
Billie Smedts, George Horlin-Smith and Jake Kolodjashnij have also been added to the team that defeated Gold Coast last weekend.
Kolodjashnij is in line to make his AFL debut after some impressive VFL form, while Smedts has also been named on the seven-man bench after missing the win over the Suns due to suspension.
Jimmy Bartel (knee) and Tom Lonergan (concussion) have been ruled out, while Mathew Stokes (achilles) has been named but is under and injury cloud.
Tom Hawkins will be given until Sunday morning to decide if he wishes to play. If he does line up, it will be his 150th AFL match.
