The Cats have made three changes for their crucial clash with Richmond on Saturday night, adding a wealth of experience into the starting line up in a must win game.
Erin Hoare returns in the ruck to add a crucial layer to the Geelong midfield, after being withdrawn from the side just prior to the opening bounce last weekend.
Georgie Rankin also returns to the backline after being a late change for the Collingwood clash, while Renee Garing is the third inclusion for the Cats on Saturday night.
The Cats currently sit in eighth spot on the ladder with two games remaining, needing a win against Richmond to solidify their position heading towards finals.
Olivia Fuller, Melissa Bragg and Gabbi Featherston are the three players to make way this weekend.
The Cats will battle the Tigers from 7:15pm at IKON Park on Saturday night, with tickets available through Ticketmaster.
The match will be broadcast live on 7mate from 7:00pm, with the game also available on 7plus and Fox Footy. The stream will also be available through Kayo and the Official AFL Live App.
