Geelong Cats have made two changes for Friday night's clash with Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium. 

Tom Stewart returns to the line-up after being a late omission against Brisbane last week, following a knee injury that he sustained in the round two clash with St Kilda. 

In exciting news for the Cats, Shaun Mannagh has been included in the team for the first time in 2025 after working his way back from a foot injury. 

Mannagh performed strongly for the VFL Cats the past two weeks, collecting 23 disposals and kicking three goals against the Northern Bullants last Saturday. 

Mitch Knevitt (managed) and Jhye Clark (omitted) make way for the returning duo.
