Geelong has selected their team for Thursday night's blockbuster clash with the Adelaide Crows at GMHBA Stadium. 

The Cats have made two changes to the team that defeated Fremantle a fortnight ago, with Ollie Henry and Oli Wiltshire returning to the starting line-up for Round 3. 

Both players impressed at VFL level last week, with Henry (five goals) and Wiltshire (four goals) instrumental in the big victory over Essendon. 

As confirmed in Geelong's GMHBA Health Update, Patrick Dangerfield will miss this week due to a low-grade calf strain, while Brad Close has been omitted. 

Mark O'Connor will reach an incredible milestone in Round 3, set to become just the sixth Irish player in V/AFL history to play 150 AFL games. 

Geelong and Adelaide will do battle in an important early season clash on Thursday night, with the match set to commence at 7.30pm AEDT at GMHBA Stadium. 

It will be a chance for the Cats to build some momentum after recording a brilliant comeback victory over Fremantle in Round 1, their first win of the 2026 AFL season.
