Geelong has locked in their starting line-up as they prepare for another big game, making two changes for Saturday's clash with North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium. 

Patrick Dangerfield will make his return this week after overcoming an injury, set to play his first game since Geelong's victory over Melbourne in Round 20. 

It will also be a historic outing for the Cats skipper, who is set to play the 376th game of his AFL career, moving into the top 10 on the all-time V/AFL leaderboard for games played. 

After being managed last weekend, emerging ruckman Mitch Edwards returns to the team to take on North Melbourne. 

Sam De Koning will miss Saturday's match through injury, while Jack Martin is set to be managed. 

Geelong will make their only visit to Marvel Stadium in the regular season this weekend, as they prepare to take on North Melbourne from 3.45pm AEST on Saturday afternoon. 

It looms as another crucial clash for the Cats entering the penultimate week of the home-and-away season, as they continue to jostle for position and hoping to secure a top six spot on the ladder with September looming large. 

The match will also be part of an exciting double-header for the club, with Geelong's AFLW team also kicking off their season at Marvel Stadium from 1.00pm. 

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster for Saturday's games, or get a two-game Flexi Membership for just $44. 

Geelong's clash with North Melbourne will be broadcast on Fox Footy and streamed through Kayo from 3.30pm, or catch all the action on K rock from 1.00pm.
