Geelong will welcome back key forward duo Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron among four inclusions to take on GWS Giants this Saturday at GMHBA Stadium.
Hawkins, who was managed last week, is set to break the record for most games played at Geelong when he runs out for the 356th time this weekend, while Cameron returns having completed the AFL’s concussion protocols.
The pair are joined by Mitch Duncan (also managed last week) and Sam De Koning, who is back after hamstring tightness saw him miss last week’s game.
Cameron Guthrie (Achilles) and Gary Rohan (Adductor) will both miss, while Brandan Parfitt and Mark O’Connor have both been omitted, with O’Connor named among the emergencies.
