Geelong has made two changes for their Round 12 blockbuster against Port Adelaide at Metricon Stadium on Friday night.

Sam Simpson and Lachie Fogarty return after being managed last week in place of Jack Steven and Brad Close.

Josh Jenkins has been named as an emergency for the first time. Joining him on standby are Close, Zach Guthrie and Jordan Clark.

Both sides enter the game in red-hot form after Geelong dismantled the Saints and Port Adelaide proved their premiership credentials with a win against Richmond.
