Geelong has made two changes for Friday night's pivotal clash with the West Coast Eagles at Sullivan Logistics Stadium in Perth. 

Kate Darby is set to make her return from injury and will play her third AFLW game of the year, while Caitlin Thorne has also been added to the team after missing last week. 

Making way for the returning duo are Julia Crockett-Grills and Piper Dunlop, with both players set to miss the Round 10 clash through injury. 

This week will also see another milestone reached, with Zali Friswell set to play the 50th game of her AFLW career.
