Collingwood has made four changes for its Round 7 VFL clash with Geelong at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon.

Reigning Collingwood VFL Best & Fairest winner Harry DeMattia headlines the inclusions, with the 20-year-old set to make his first appearance for the 2026 season after recovering from a back stress reaction.

Defender Wil Parker and midfielder Harvey Harrison also come into the team, with Parker returning from AFL duties last week.

Mansfield-product Jack Marks rounds out the inclusions, named the 23rd player for Saturday's clash.

The 19-year-old has been training with Collingwood's VFL team since November, with the versatile winger-forward notably breaking the agility test record at preseason AFL draft trials in 2025. 

VFL Co-Captain Brady Grey, AFL-listed midfielder Lachie Sullivan and defender Tadhg McCarthy will miss the clash through injury, while Harrison Kennedy has been omitted.

Kennedy, Max Mahoney, Harry Mahoney, Charlie McCartin, Xavier Laverty, Luke Quaynor, Hamish Collins and Robert Varcoe will serve as emergencies.
