Geelong have named their team for Saturday's VFL Semi Final against Southport, with two exciting inclusions headlining the changes as the Cats look to secure their spot in a Preliminary Final. 

Tom Hawkins and Cameron Guthrie will both make their long awaited return from injury, set to line up against the Sharks at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Guthrie will also make his return from injury on Saturday, his first game since the round 10 AFL clash with Gold Coast. 

Darcy Edmends and Tanner Lovell round out the inclusions for the Cats Semi Final.
