Geelong has made five changes to its team that will play Hawthorn at the MCG on Monday at 3.20pm.
Tom Atkins, Tanner Bruhn and Mitch Duncan return to the side after missing last week's victory against Adelaide. While Jack Bowes and Toby Conway have been named to play their first AFL games this season.
They replace captain Patrick Dangerfield (injured), Rhys Stanley (managed), Zach Tuohy (managed), Mitch Knevitt (omitted) and Shaun Mannagh (omitted).
The Easter Monday blockbuster will be a huge occasion for the Club with Tom Hawkins named to play his 350th AFL game. While fellow forward Ollie Henry will notch his 50th AFL game.
Geelong enters the contest following back-to-back wins to open their 2024 season, the most recent a 19-point victory against the Crows in Round 2 at Adelaide Oval.
The last time the two sides met was in Round 4, 2023, where the Cats emerged victors by 82 points.
First bounce will be at 3.20pm AEDT and will be broadcast on Channel 7, Kayo and on K rock Football.
Dare To Hope
Hawthorn and Geelong have joined forces to raise funds ahead of this year's Easter Monday Dare to Hope match which will directly assist in the research and support in the fight against pancreatic cancer.
