Heading into her second year at the Pies, Lynch made her debut in round two of the 2019 season and ran out for a total of six games.
Omitted from the match is Kristy Stratton who has been listed as an emergency alongside Eliza Hynes.
Sarah D’Arcy has been named to start centre half-back while defender Ash Brazill is set to make the move up forward.
Mikala Cann will also start in the midfield.
Both sides will arrive at Marvel having just come off two close games in round two. The Pies suffered a nail-biting three-point loss to the Dockers while the Demons went down by five to the Saints.
The Pies currently sit in second spot on Conference B’s ladder just behind the Dockers in top spot, while the Demons sit in fourth.
A win on Friday would move Collingwood four points clear of Melbourne.
The AFL All-Stars game will follow the match commencing at 7.50pm. All proceeds from the double-header event will go on to support communities impacted by the bushfires across Australia.
