The team is in for the Cats' Round 4 clash with the Western Bulldogs
Geelong has made two changes to its team that will play the Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval this Saturday from 8.10pm AEDT.
Rhys Stanley and Zach Tuohy return to the side after being managed last week. They replace ruck Toby Conway (managed) and Oisin Mullin (omitted).
The Gather Round encounter will be a big occasion for Mark Blicavs who has been named to play his 250th AFL game.
Geelong enters the contest in excellent form following three wins to start the season, the most recent a 36-point victory against the Hawks in Round 3 at the MCG.
The last time the two sides met was in Round 24, 2023, where the Cats went down to the Bulldogs by 25 points.
First bounce will be at 8.10pm AEDT and will be broadcast on Channel 7 and Kayo.

Cats Win By A Whisker Over Determined Dogs
Geelong continued their unbeaten start to the season with a four point victory against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night
GEELONG has held off a spirited Western Bulldogs to win 14.11 (95) to 14.7 (91) at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night, remaining undefeated four rounds into season 2024.
Backing up from an Easter Monday game that finished 45 minutes later than scheduled due to a severe weather warning delay, the Cats made it four from four by beating the Western Bulldogs by just four points in a pulsating finish on Saturday night.
With two trips to Adelaide in two weeks and two games in six days, the Cats did what they needed to do to depart South Australia 4-0 – but only just – withstanding a flurry of late punches from the Bulldogs to join Carlton as one of only two undefeated sides to start the year.
Geelong has played finals in 11 of the 13 seasons Chris Scott has been at the helm, but despite that unrivalled record, the Cats arrived on the starting grid last month as one of the great unknowns of this season.
They look like a known commodity, yet again.
Woodville-West Torrens product Tyson Stengle made the most of his chances to kick four goals back in his home state, while Jeremy Cameron roamed all over the Adelaide Oval, finishing with 27 disposals, eight marks, 662 metres gained and 2.4.
Geelong led for all but five minutes of the game and threatened to blow the Bulldogs away at different stages, leading by as much as 26 points late in the third quarter. But Luke Beveridge’s men sensed the fatigue on the opposition and kept coming for the entire 120 minutes. They never stopped.
The Dogs kicked the final three goals of the game and had all the momentum at the end, with Bailey Williams reducing the margin to under a kick with less than a minute left and Ed Richards streaming through the centre square when the siren sounded to confirm the 14.11 (95) to 14.7 (91) Geelong win. Near, but not near enough.
Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli and veteran star Tom Liberatore were the two clear standout players on Adelaide Oval, almost willing the Dogs to a memorable win on the road.
With Patrick Dangerfield and Cam Guthrie missing, Liberatore dictated terms at stoppage, amassing an unbelievable 19 clearances (equal No. 3 all-time) and 28 contested possessions (equal No. 4 all-time) in an inside masterclass that you can’t teach, finishing with 35 disposals, nine tackles and a goal.
Bontempelli was almost as good, finishing with 35 touches, 14 contested possessions, 10 tackles, seven clearances and a goal in a dominant display that underlined his status as one of the best players in the land.
Gryan Miers (22 disposals, four clearances and two goal assists) and Jack Bowes (23 disposals, two goals) were strong performers for Geelong.
