MATHEW STOKES, George Horlin-Smith and Josh Cowan have been recalled to Geelong's AFL team for the season-ending clash with Adelaide at Simonds Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The game will be Stokes' last in the hoops. It will also be James Kelly's last appearance for the club.
Horlin-Smith is back after some very impressive form in the VFL, while Cowan has been given the opportunity to test his body once again at the highest level.
Cowan made his first appearance at AFL-level in almost four years when he lined up against Collingwood back in round six.
He lasted only a few minutes before straining his hamstring, but he has fought back strongly in the second half of the season and has been rewarded for a string of solid VFL performances.
It will be the first time Cowan, Dan Menzel and Nathan Vardy have played an AFL game together since round 18, 2011.
Jed Bews, Darcy Lang and Jordan Murdoch have gone out of the team that was thrashed by Collingwood last weekend.
First-year midfielder Jordan Cunico, who is yet to make his AFL debut, has been named among the emergencies.
