Geelong has made three changes to its line-up to take on Port Adelaide at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night.

Mark O’Connor and Brandan Parfitt return to the team after being managed last weekend, while Oisin Mullin is back for his third game this season.

Tanner Bruhn will miss through injury, while Jack Bowes and Zach Tuohy have both been managed, with Bowes and Tuohy named in the emergencies alongside Shannon Neale.

Chris Scott said on Thursday that the Club would take a conservative approach for Bruhn, who was substituted out of last week’s game against Carlton with a shoulder injury.

“We think he’s going really well, but we’re not going to play him,” Scott said.

“Our plan is to hold him back this week and have him fresh for next week. It’s one of those that we’ve had quite a bit this year in that, for us, there’s a big difference between being available to play and being optimal, so we’re just going to be a bit conservative with him.”

The match will see forward Tom Hawkins equal the Geelong games record of 355 AFL appearances in the Hoops, drawing level with good mate Joel Selwood.

First bounce is at 7.10pm. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, while memberships can be purchased here.
