The Cats have named three changes for their VFLW side to take on Port Melbourne on Saturday.

AFLW-listed Cats Zali Friswell, Rene Caris and Stephanie Williams have been named as inclusions, replacing Laura Gardiner, Madisen Maguire and Breanna Pratt.

The Cats have had two solid wins to start their season, while the Borough are chasing their first win after a tough opening fortnight, coming up against red-hot Casey and Essendon in successive weeks.

For Geelong, they've shown their versatility in the opening fortnight, powering to a comprehensive win over Carlton in Round 1, and weathering a strong, contested battle against Hawthorn in Round 2.

Tamara Smith has been in brilliant form in the middle, collecting plenty of touches to go with her usual haul of tackles, the defenders have been rock solid, conceding a total of just 29 points across the first two round.

At the other end of the ground, there has been a good spread of goalkickers, with a total of 16 goals kicked in two weeks.

First bounce is at 11am on Saturday at Deakin University Elite Sports Precinct.
