Collingwood Coach Craig McRae has the Magpies’ team for Sunday’s Round 20 clash against Richmond at the MCG.

After being managed for last week’s match, forward Tim Membrey and midfielder Tom Mitchell return to the side, while defender Dan Houston returns from an abdominal strain that saw him miss the Dockers clash in Round 19.

Forward Beau McCreery will miss the clash after he sustained a minor hamstring strain that will sideline the 24-year-old for two-to-three weeks.

Oleg Markov and Mason Cox have been omitted, with Cox named in Collingwood’s VFL side for their Saturday night clash against Frankston.

Markov, Cox and Roan Steele have been named as the three emergencies.

Membrey will play his 17^th game in black and white after joining the Club from St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent in the off-season. The 31-year-old has booted 24 goals across 2025.

Mitchell returns for his third AFL game of the year following two successful return games at the level that saw him amass 26 and 20 disposals respectively. The Brownlow Medallist missed the start of the season through a foot issue before returning via the VFL.

After breaking the record for most consecutive matches played in V/AFL history in the Round 8 clash with the Cats, Collingwood’s ironman Jack Crisp will notch 250 Club games against Richmond.

The dual Copeland Trophy winner celebrated 250 AFL games in the Pies’ Opening Round clash, with Sunday’s match marking his 268^th match after 18 games with Brisbane.

The 2023 Premiership Player will be the 15^th Collingwood player to reach 250 Club games and draws even with Magpie legends Peter Daicos and Lou Richards for games played in the black and white.

Sunday’s clash will be the first time Collingwood have played Richmond in 2025 and the 217^th in V/AFL history. The Pies have the upper hand over their traditional rival, with a 122 to 92 win/loss record over the Tigers.

The tactical substitute will be selected from the extended bench and named 60 minutes prior to the first bounce on Sunday.
