Craig McRae has named his first side as Collingwood senior coach.
Captaining his 184th game for the club, Scott Pendlebury will lead the team against St Kilda on Friday night.
New recruit, Patrick Lipinski, will play his first game for Collingwood after joining the club from the Western Bulldogs at the end of 2021.
Additionally, first round draft pick Nick Daicos will make his debut. He will line up alongside his brother Josh Daicos for the first time at AFL level. Josh and Nick's father Peter, played 250 games for Collingwood between 1979 and 1993.
After an interrupted last couple of years, a healthy Jeremy Howe will take to Marvel Stadium. The 31-year-old is just five games away from his 200th.
