GEELONG has made another late change ahead of its clash against Hawthorn on Easter Monday.
Oisin Mullin (hip) has been withdrawn from the team and replaced by Ted Clohesy, who will start as the substitute at the MCG.
The Cats have made a change to their side an hour before the first bounce in their past five matches.
Changkuoth Jiath will start as Hawthorn’s sub.
While it has endured something of a rollercoaster start to the campaign, Geelong recorded a stunning win over the Crows in Adelaide last time out.
The Hawks’ perfect start to the season was ended with a shock loss to Port Adelaide to finish Gather Round, with Sam Mitchell’s side making a slow start and not able to recover in the defeat at Adelaide Oval.
Livewire Jack Ginnivan is among two players dropped by the Hawks, with Connor Macdonald recalled after overcoming an ankle injury, while Jack Scrimshaw also returns and Finn Maginness has been omitted.
Geelong has confirmed a recall for star defender Tom Stewart, with Clohesy retaining his spot after Mullin was withdrawn.
A potentially record crowd is expected on the public holiday Monday for the now traditional Easter clash.
