Collingwood's short turnaround from round nine may see a number of changes to face Sydney on Thursday.

12 players had the opportunity in three quarters of match simulation and a variety of handball games with Fremantle on Saturday.

See who is in the mix to take on Sydney at the Gabba.

Jordan Roughead
Didn’t contest the AFL game or match simulation. A likely inclusion to face Sydney.  

Tyler Brown
Showed what he’s capable of in the match simulation with Fremantle. Winning clearances and gave the forwards plenty entries.

Flynn Appleby
Emergency for the AFL side for a number of weeks. Knocking on the door for a call-up.

Rupert Wills
In the same boat as Roughead. Wills’ physicality through the midfield could be of value against Sydney.

Jay Rantall
Played through the midfield against Fremantle, as he has all year. Developing nicely in his first year at the club. 

Ben Reid
Continues to chip away to get his body to 100% fit. Didn’t contest the match sim against Fremantle but remains a forward option in the coming games.

Nathan Murphy
Mainly playing a running defender role with minutes through the midfield. Has stepped up a level in recent weeks.

Tim Broomhead
His work around the contest inside forward 50 has been of note in the scratch matches. A chance for his first game of the season.

Mason Cox
Rucked most of the day against Fremantle and held his own. Aerial work continues to improve.
