Treloar. Howe. Moore.

Three of Collingwood’s biggest names will return from injury when the Magpies take on the Western Bulldogs in Moe this Saturday.

The trio is part of six additions to Collingwood’s squad, with Jarryd Blair and Sam Murray also in line to play their first games of the new year.

Howe (calf) and Moore (Achillies) made their return from injury in last week’s VFL intra-club match and passed the test without issue.

Blair and Murray, meanwhile, performed well and have put their hands up for a senior birth.

Murray, 20, was received via a trade from the Sydney Swans last October. He has not yet played senior football, but made the NEAFL Team of the Year as a running defender in 2017.

The match against the Bulldogs represents the Magpies’ final tune up before the home and away season begins.

They recorded a 60-point loss to Greater Western Sydney last Thursday, while the Bulldogs triumphed over Hawthorn by 22 points in Ballarat on Saturday.

Senior players not selected will have the opportunity to impress when Collingwood's VFL team takes on Richmond at the Punt Road Oval on Thursday at 6pm.
