GEELONG has made three changes for its Semi Final clash with Greater Western Sydney at Optus Stadium on Friday night.
The Cats have injected some speed into its lineup with dashing defender Zach Tuohy and first-year Cat Max Holmes back for the must win encounter.
Tuohy will play his first game since Round 21 after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Versatile tall Esava Ratugolea has also received a call-up and has been named to start in attack for the Cats. The 23-year-old is also set to provide assistance to Rhys Stanley in the ruck, which could see Mark Blicavs spend more time in Geelong's backline.
