GEELONG has made two changes to its team that will line-up against Hawthorn at the MCG on Easter Monday.
Speedster Max Holmes has been named to make his AFL debut after consecutive best-on-ground performances for the Bendigo Bank Cats in recent weeks.
The 18-year-old was taken by Geelong with the 20th overall selection in last year's draft. A 189cm midfielder, Holmes has electrifying speed and could be an asset on the wide expanses of the MCG.
He is the son of dual Olympian and Commonwealth Gold medallist sprinter Lee Naylor.
Joining Holmes in being named in Geelong's 22-man team is star onballer Mitch Duncan.
Duncan's return is a timely one for the Cats and his inclusion is a big boost given the continued absence of star midfield pair Patrick Dangerfield and Sam Menegola.
It will be Duncan's first AFL game this year after a calf strain saw him miss the opening two rounds of the season.
Gary Rohan will miss through suspension, while Charlie Constable has been omitted.
