Mitch Knevitt and Jack Bowes have been dropped.

Gryan Miers and recruit James Worpel are back for their first games since round 13 and round nine, respectively.

Mark O'Connor, Brad Close, Mitch Edwards and Jhye Clark are also back in.

Jay Polkinghorne, who has kicked 20 goals in six VFL games this year, will make his AFL debut.

The Saints, also coming off a five-day break, are far more settled but have opted for one change with Hunter Clark recalled to replace the omitted Angus Hastie.

Geelong has lost three straight games to slip back to ninth with a 9-8 record, while the Saints are 8-9 in 10th.
