GARY ROHAN has been named to make his return in Geelong's Round 23 blockbuster with Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday at 7.25pm.

Rohan headlines three big inclusions for the Cats final game of the home-and-away season between the top two teams on the ladder. A match which is likely to determine which side is this year's minor premier.

The Cats will also be bolstered by the return of Tom Atkins and Gryan Miers who will play their first AFL games since Round 19. 

Shaun Higgins (managed) will miss for the Cats alongside Esava Ratugolea and Zach Guthrie who have been omitted.

Geelong's Round 23 clash will be a special one for Mark Blicavs who will play his 200th AFL game.
