Geelong has made two changes to its line up to face Essendon. Skipper Cameron Ling returns after missing last week’s win over the Eagles with a shoulder injury, while Trent West will play his first game of the season.

Cameron Mooney will miss with an ankle injury, and ruckman Dawson Simpson will line up in the VFL.

Neil Balme has more on the team in MATCH COMMITTEE on CATS TV now.
