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.
