Collingwood has made one change to the side set to take on St Kilda on Saturday night with Leigh Brown returning for the grand final rematch at the MCG.
The premiership player returns after missing the last two weeks with a calf injury sustained in the loss to Geelong.
Jarryd Blair has been omitted and is named as an emergency along with Tyson Goldsack and Alex Fasolo.
Brown will run out for his 50th game for the Magpies and will become the second player in history, after Glenn Coleman (Fitzroy, Sydney and Western Bulldogs), to play 50 games with three clubs. The 29-year-old has played 63 matches with Fremantle and 118 games with North Melbourne.
Dane Swan will play his last game before he heads to Arizona on Monday with three teammates as part of a mid-season camp. The players are set to spend 12 days in Flagstaff, Arizona before returning on the club’s bye weekend.
St Kilda, meanwhile, has made three changes bringing in Steven Baker (199 games/ 34 goals), Tom Simpkin (yet to debut) and Tom Ledger (yet to debut) for Jason Blake (knee), Tom Lynch (hand) and Nicholas Winmar (omitted).
