Key forward Jack Buller will make his Collingwood debut on Sunday night when the Pies take on St Kilda to close out Opening Round.

Arriving in last year's trade period via the Sydney Swans, the 24-year-old quickly immersed himself in the group and trained strongly over pre-season to earn his place in the side for the first game of the season.

Having been picked up by the Swans in the 2023 mid-season draft, Buller has 10 AFL games under his belt including nine in 2025.

His most recent game at the top level in Round 24, 2025 was also his most successful, kicking three goals in Sydney's final game of the year in a win over the West Coast Eagles.

This weekend will be his first game on the MCG and second time taking on the Saints, having found the big sticks twice against them last year while wearing the red and white.

The right-footer impressed in tricky conditions for a key forward in last Sunday's AAMI Community Series clash, kicking two goals from 11 touches in the loss to North Melbourne. 

That was after having performed strongly in match simulation the week earlier against GWS, with the 199cm tall an imposing presence in attack.

The Pies' clash with the Saints will be the final of five games as part of the AFL's Opening Round, with the first bounce scheduled for 7:20pm AEDT on Sunday. 

The final team for the game will be named at 5pm on Friday 6 March via Collingwoodfc.com.au
