Geelong has made two changes for their round 23 clash against Carlton at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.

Gary Rohan has been named to return after making a quick recovery from a knee injury sustained in round 20.

Rohan has been an impressive performer at training this week and is set to take his place in Geelong’s attack.

His return is a timely one, with Tom Atkins to miss with a hand injury.

Ruckman Rhys Stanley has also been included in Geelong’s 22 and will play his first AFL game since round 18.

Stanley was one of the Cats’ best performers in the VFL last weekend with 24 hitouts, 19 disposals and two goals.

The 28-year-old is set to start in the ruck with Mark Blicavs named at full back.

The reigning best and fairest winner replaces Jake Kolodjashnij in Geelong’s back six, who is also out through injury.

Geelong will pay tribute to the late Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer by wearing the club’s Indigenous jumper on Saturday.
