2024 draftee Will Hayes is among seven inclusions to the Collingwood's VFL team to take on the Southport Sharks at Fankhauser Reserve on Saturday afternoon.
The other six inclusions to last week's team that beat Sandringham are Ben De Bolfo, Chad Mulvogue, Matt O'Brien, Ryan Eyre, Ned Byrne and Harry Mahoney.
After a stunning six-goal performance that included the match-winning goal after-the-siren against the Zebras, 2024 draftee Charlie West has been selected for his AFL debut against West Coast on Saturday night.
Defender Charlie Dean has also been called up for his first AFL match of 2025 after a string of strong efforts in the VFL, including 21 disposals and six marks in the win over Sandringham.
Along with the Charlies, Wil Parker and Oleg Markov are also required in the AFL squad, while Tew Jiath, Josh Browne and Christian Algeri will miss the clash through injury.
The 10 AFL-listed Pies are Hayes, Tom Mitchell, Mason Cox, Jakob Ryan, Harry DeMattia, Oscar Steene, Iliro Smit, Joel Cochran, Roan Steele and Noah Howes.
Mitchell will look to back up his impressive performance in last week's buzzer-beating win, in which he collected 27 disposals and laid 13 tackles.
Josh Tovey, Angus Seivers, Remy Maclean, Conor Willis and Liam Hude are the emergencies for the clash.
