BAILEY Smith is back for Geelong after missing a week with hamstring tightness, selected to face Essendon on Saturday afternoon.

Greater Western Sydney has named Toby Greene to face Brisbane despite battling a glute injury, while Nick Watson is back for Hawthorn after missing last week's win through illness.

Despite Greene being named, AFL.com.au's Josh Gabelich is reporting the Giants skipper is still in serious doubt to face the Lions.

In other round 14 team news, Fremantle has stuck with its two ruck approach, retaining Sean Darcy for its match against North Melbourne after pairing him alongside Luke Jackson prior to the Dockers' bye.

Alongside Smith's return, the Cats have also selected forward Shannon Neale, who was subbed off against Gold Coast with an ankle problem.

Although Watson is back, the Hawks will be without James Worpel (quad) for Friday night's game against Adelaide in Launceston, replaced by Henry Hustwaite.

Finn Callaghan is back from missing three weeks with a shoulder injury to face the premiers at the Gabba.

Brisbane gets shutdown defender Brandon Starcevich back after three months on the sidelines dealing with repeated concussions, while Sam Day also returns.
