Geelong has made a late change to its selected side to take on Brisbane at Simonds Stadium.

Young midfielder Nakia Cockatoo will come into the team for Tom Lonergan who will miss with a calf injury.

Cockatoo missed the Cats first two games of the home and away season serving a suspension for rough conduct in the Cats final nab challenge game against Fremantle.

Cockatoo joins Daniel Menzel and Tom Ruggles as inclusions from the team that lost to Greater Western Sydney last Sunday.

Brisbane almost made a late change to their selected side with Daniel Rich missing with a hamstring injury.
