Premiership defender David Wojcinski has failed to win back his place in the Geelong lineup for Sunday's AFL qualifying final against St Kilda.
Wojcinski has spent the last two weeks playing with Geelong's VFL side after overcoming an Achilles tendon injury.
The 26-year-old has been named as an emergency for Sunday's clash with the Saints at the MCG.
The Cats made a couple of changes to the side which belted West Coast last week, bringing back two other members of the 2007 premiership side, Max Rooke and Andrew Mackie.
Ryan Gamble and Shannon Byrnes were omitted.
St Kilda also made two changes, recalling Xavier Clarke and Andrew McQualter.
Former Sydney premiership player Sean Dempster suffered a season-ending knee injury last week and Shane Birss was dropped.
