Collingwood has added plenty of senior experience to its line up to take on Port Adelaide this Saturday.

Premiership heroes Ben Reid and Tyson Goldsack will make their keenly awaited returns from injury.

They replace omitted defenders Matthew Scharenberg and Josh Smith, who remain in the frame for a late call up, joining Mason Cox as the three emergencies.



Welcome back
Reid has not been seen since injuring his quad late in the match against Greater Western Sydney in round eight.

He was playing in attack that evening, kicking one goal from 11 disposals before leaving the field during the final term.

Ahead of selection, coach Nathan Buckley told the media the match committee’s decision on where to play Reid remained a discussion point

"Reidy is one of those bookends that can go both ways,” Buckley said.

“He's clearly proven it as a defender, but his aerial capacity is enticing as a forward."

VFL
Collingwood’s VFL team will take on Port Melbourne at North Port Oval, the match starting just 15 minutes after the AFL clash with Port Adelaide gets underway.

Collingwood Media will be publishing score updates throughout the day as well as a full recap online after the match.
