GEELONG has made one change to its Round 11 team that will host Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.

Gryan Miers has been named in the best 22 this week replacing the injured Patrick Dangerfield who is set for a stint on the sidelines.

Miers featured in last week's victory against Port Adelaide after coming on as a substitute late in the game.

The 23-year-old has a decent record against the Crows with six goals and four goal assists from the four times he has faced them.
