Geelong welcomes Paul Chapman and Cameron Mooney back into its line up to face the Roos.

Chapman has missed the past two games with hamstring tightness while Mooney had a shoulder injury that kept him out of the win over Carlton.

Tom Hawkins and Harry Taylor are the unlucky trio to make way.

Diminutive forward Shannon Byrnes will play his 50th game for the Cats. Byrnes debuted against Sydney in 2004 and was a member of last year’s grand final winning line up.
