GEELONG has made four changes ahead of its Round 13 blockbuster against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.

The Cats welcome back Mark Blicavs, Patrick Dangerfield, Mitch Duncan and Mark O'Connor.

Dangerfield and O'Connor will play their first AFL games since rounds five and six respectively, whilst Blicavs and Duncan return after missing Geelong's Round 11 win against Collingwood.

Max Holmes, Zach Guthrie, Rhys Stanley and Quinton Narkle make way for the Cats, with all four players omitted.

Geelong will name its medical substitute an hour prior to the first bounce at 7.40pm.

It will be a special occasion for captain Joel Selwood who will play his 322nd AFL game, helping the Selwoods break the record for most games for a group of brothers. 

Combined with brothers Adam (187), Scott (169) and Troy (75), Joel's 322 games take the family to 753 – surpassing Terry (313), Anthony (233), Chris (124) and Neale (82) Daniher's 752 VFL/AFL matches.
