A star-studded Pies lineup is set for VFL action in Frankston on Saturday night, with Jordan De Goey, Bobby Hill, Billy Frampton, Mason Cox, and Finlay Macrae all set to come into the side to face the Dolphins.

De Goey, who has been out of action since his Round 8 clash with Geelong due to an Achilles issue, will play his first VFL game in over over seven years when he steps foot onto Kinetic Stadium.

Hill, who has missed the last four weeks due to personal reasons, will return to action via the VFL alongside his 2023 Premiership teammates Cox and Frampton, with the latter returning from a calf injury sustained in the Club’s Round 15 AFL clash with St Kilda.

23-year-old emerging midfielder Macrae also returns, having not played a game since Collingwood’s Round 5 VFL clash against Brisbane where he reaggravated a previous shoulder injury.

The exciting inclusions don’t stop there, with 2025 Collingwood father-son prospect and Peter Daicos Academy member Thomas McGuane also set to make his VFL debut for the Pies.

The son of 1990 Premiership Pie Mick, the 17-year-old made two appearances in the under-18s National Championships for Vic Metro and has averaged 29.3 disposals and 5.6 clearances across eight games for the Western Jets in the Coates Talent League this season.

Coming out of the side who secured a 15-point win over Geelong last Saturday night are Liam Hude, Ryan Eyre, Matt O’Brien, Josh Tovey, Harrison Kennedy, and Boston Dowling.

Please be advised this is a ticketed event, and it is strongly recommended the Magpie Army pre-purchase their tickets to avoid missing out. $5 tickets for Collingwood members can be purchased here.

The match will be broadcast live and free on the 7mate and 7plus, while also streamed via Collingwoodfc.com.au.
