GEELONG have made four changes for their round 21 Retro Round clash against North Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night.

The match will see Mitch Duncan play his 200th game for the club.


Luke Dahlhaus and Harry Taylor have been named to return after they were both late withdrawals against Fremantle.

The Cats have also been boosted by the inclusion of Brandan Parfitt.

The 21-year-old will play his first AFL match since round 17 after recovering from a back injury and will provide Geelong’s on ball brigade with a different dimension.

“With players like Joel (Selwood) and Paddy (Dangerfield), it’s very much a case of see-ball get-ball, and someone like Mitch Duncan who plays that outside role, whereas Parfitt has an almost elite balance between contested footy, a bit of space and the ability to hold a formation,” former captain Cameron Ling said speaking to theage.com.au.

Quinton Narkle has been rewarded for an excellent past month in the VFL and will play his first AFL match of the season.

Forward Gary Rohan and speedster Jordan Clark will miss through injury, while Lachie Henderson and Scott Selwood have been omitted.

Henderson, Selwood, Charlie Constable and James Parsons are the four emergencies.

The first ball will be bounced on Saturday at 7.25pm.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early as there will be a host of fun activities and we will be giving away our limited edition Retro Trading Cards from 5pm.
