Geelong's VFL team has made four changes for Saturday's curtain-raiser against the GWS Giants at ENGIE Stadium. 

Jhye Clark headlines the inclusions after clearing the AFL's concussion protocol, set to play his first game since Round 12. 

Port Fairy's Oscar Pollock is set to make his VFL debut after being named as the 23rd player, while Taj Wyburd and Joseph Chaplin have also been added to the team. 

Oli Wiltshire will miss this week after entering the concussion protocol, Mitch Duncan comes out after suffering an AC joint injury last Sunday, while Lenny Hofmann and Tom Peirce will also miss the clash with the Giants. 

The VFL Cats will take on GWS at ENGIE Stadium from 12.15pm on Saturday, follow all the action with Geelong's live blog which will be available on the Cats website from 12.00pm.
