Collingwood has made two changes for their elimination final against West Coast at Optus Stadium.
Veteran Chris Mayne returns for the first time since that shocking collision against Carlton, senior coach Nathan Buckley has been pleased with his progress in recent weeks.
“He’s going really well. He trained fully last week and again earlier this week on arrival in Perth,” Buckley said.
“He’s a desperate and hungry individual within our squad. He wants to be a part of team success and has left no stone unturned to be a part of that.
“And we’ve witnessed that in the last two or three weeks overcoming this particular injury. He’s putting himself in good shape.”
A handy inclusion to the line-up, Mayne has played in all six of the Pies finals since joining the club in 2017.
Darcy Cameron comes in for his first game since round 14, replacing Travis Varcoe who has been omitted from Saturday night.
Midfielder Tyler Brown has been omitted from the side.
Milestone men Brodie Grundy and Taylor Adams will run out for their 150th games against the Eagles.
Our emergencies are Tyler Brown, Callum Brown, Travis Varcoe and Mark Keane.
The first bounce at the Gabba is set for 8.10pm (AEST). Tune in live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and on AFL Live Pass.
