Collingwood has named its squad of 26 for Sunday’s AAMI Community Series clash with North Melbourne at Mars Stadium in Ballarat on Sunday.

A host of experienced Magpies will make their first appearance of the pre-season, while fans will get their first look at another 2025 draftee.

After being rested for last week’s match simulation against the GWS GIANTS, Patrick Lipinski, Isaac Quaynor, Josh Daicos, Lachie Schultz, Harry Perryman, Darcy Cameron and Tew Jiath all return.

Taken with pick 37 in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft, midfielder Sam Swadling will pull on the black and white for the first time in Sunday’s practice match.

The match is set for Sunday at 3:10pm (AEDT) at Mars Stadium, Ballarat. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo Sports. Tickets for the match are sold out.
