Geelong has named two changes for Friday night’s huge Preliminary Final against the Crows at Adelaide Oval.

Experienced defender Tom Lonergan returns to the team after missing the Geelong’s Semi-Final win over Sydney due to illness.

Speedster Nakia Cockatoo has also been included after recovering from a hamstring complaint. The 20-year-old’s last AFL game was against Carlton in Round 19.
