Geelong has made four changes ahead of its VFL clash with Southport Sharks at GMHBA Stadium on Sunday.

Will Christie will step back into ruck duties alongside Mark Marriott, as Jonathon Ceglar moves back into the AFL side, while Ollie Dempsey and Benjamin Worme are set to return.

Kade Chalcraft has been named for his first VFL game of 2023.

Oisin Mullin - who was initially named as an AFL emergency, but has been withdrawn due to soreness - George Stevens and Tom Feely are the other three outs.

The Cats have won their past two matches, and will be eager to test themselves against the fifth-placed Southport Sharks in their first clash at GMHBA Stadium for the season.

First bounce is at 12pm. The match will be streamed live on the official AFL App and website for those unable to attend.
