AFL teams: Geelong makes three changes for Carlton blockbuster, Port Adelaide swing the axe

Geelong have been dealt a blow ahead of Friday night’s clash against Carlton with gun midfielder Tanner Bruhn ruled out.

Bruhn will miss at least a month after suffering a wrist injury at training during the week, but his absence is offset by the return of skipper Patrick Dangerfield.

Forward Ollie Henry and Zach Tuohy also return with Shannon Neale and Rhys Stanley dropped.

Melbourne will unleash debutant Kynan Brown for Saturday night’s clash against North Melbourne.

Injured superstar Christian Petracca goes out of the side, while Jack Billings and Bailey Laurie have been dropped.

Co-captain Jy Simpkin returns for the Kangaroos.

Elsewhere, Port Adelaide swung the axe with Ivan Soldo among four players dropped for Saturday’s clash against Brisbane.

Oscar Allen finally returns for the Eagles, who are still without the suspended Harley Reid for one more match.
