Georgiades, who has booted 19.23 this season, was dropped after the round 20 loss to Collingwood so he could regain his confidence in the SANFL.
The 20-year-old kicked 2.2 from 15 disposals against Sturt, and will return against the Bombers alongside fellow forward Todd Marshall, who was under the AFL's health and safety protocols last week.
Defender Riley Bonner also comes into the 22, with Robbie Gray (managed), Trent McKenzie (omitted), and Brynn Teakle (omitted) all going out.
The Bombers have been boosted by the returns of Dylan Shiel (hamstring) and Jye Caldwell (calf), while ruckman Nick Bryan and defender Massimo D'Ambrosio were also named.
Hawthorn have recalled midfielder Liam Shiels and last week's unused substitute James Blanck for Sunday's match against Richmond at the MCG.
Sam Butler (omitted) and Connor Macdonald (managed) go out of the side.
Richmond welcome back veteran Shane Edwards, with Jack Ross and Jason Castagna forced to make way.
Collingwood and Sydney have both named unchanged line-ups for Sunday's crunch match at the SCG.
