GEELONG has been forced to swing the changes for Monday's encounter with Fremantle and will make up to four changes to its side.
Star Cats Mitch Duncan and Tom Stewart will provide a well-welcome boost, returning from hamstring and collarbone injuries respectively.
Alongside the big-name duo, uncapped Cats Nathan Kreuger, Brad Close and Ben Jarvis come into the side, while Charlie Constable, James Parsons and Lachie Fogarty round out the eight squad inclusions.
A trio of injured Cats in Joel Selwood (hamstring), Luke Dahlhaus (foot) and Jordan Clark (shoulder) make way from the side, alongside Gary Ablett who returned home to be with his family last week
