Collingwood has named its squad to face the GWS Giants on Sunday.
After four wins on the trot, the Magpies will be eager to get back in the top-8 with a victory over the Giants at the MCG.
Brayden Maynard will line-up for his 150th match. The 25-year-old was Copeland runner-up last season and is enjoying another stellar year, after signing a contract extension which will see him represent the club until at least the end of 2025.
Maynard reflected on his career and his hopes for the future ahead of his milestone match:
Isaac Chugg will make his debut at the MCG.
The 20-year-old was selected with pick #28 in the 2020 NAB AFL Rookie Draft and plays his best footy as an outside mid and at half-back.
His pace, agility and vertical leap have made him a standout at VFL level this season and he averaged 13 disposals and three marks a game during a purple patch between rounds four and eight.
The Pies VFL side will play Brisbane at the AIA Centre on Saturday afternoon.
IN: Isaac Chugg
OUT: Jordan De Goey (personal leave), Tyler Brown (R13 medical substitute)
