Collingwood has named their side to face Essendon on ANZAC Day.

Brody Mihocek makes his way back into the team after missing round five due to the AFL's health and safety protocols and is listed in the back pocket.

Forward duo Beau McCreery and Jack Ginnivan return from injury to strengthen the Pies' forward line.

Patrick Lipinski, Nick Daicos, Jack Ginnivan, Nathan Kreuger and Reef McInnes will line-up for their first ANZAC Day clash.

2019 mid-season recruit John Noble is set to play his 50th game at the biggest home and away match of the year.

As reported earlier in the week, Jordan Roughead comes out of the line-up after having finger surgery, while Mason Cox, Callum Brown and Tom Wilson have been omitted.
