Geelong has named its team to face Essendon in the Powercor Country Festival game on Saturday night at the MCG.
Irishman Mark O'Connor, who was promoted to the senior list earlier on Thursday, is one of four inclusions.
The others are Zac Smith, Tom Stewart and Jake Kolodjashnij.
Kolodjashnij will play his first AFL game of the season after building his fitness and form in the VFL in recent weeks.
Aaron Black, Jackson Thurlow, Jordan Murdoch and Darcy Lang have all been omitted from the side that lost to Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium last weekend.
Defender Lachie Henderson, who was a late withdrawal from the team that played the Suns after copping a knock in the warm-up, has not been selected.
