Long, who was drafted to Collingwood from their VFL program in the 2024 mid-season draft, will be a welcomed inclusion to their engine room as they searched for their third win of the season.

One of six changes, Long is joined by defender Parker and key forward West, while 2025 draftee Zac McCarthy also returns.

VFL leader Max Mahoney and off-season recruit Taj Woewodin round out the inclusions.

Making way in the side is 27-year-old mid-season draftee Mitch Podhajski, who after a two-goal return in his first Collingwood VFL outing last week will make his AFL debut against Melbourne in their King’s Birthday clash on Monday.

Jack Buller and Sam Swadling will join Podhajski in the AFL squad, while VFL co-captain Ben De Bolfo (injured), Zavier Maher and Luke Quaynor (omitted) will also miss.

Maher, Quaynor, Liam Hude, Rod Ali, Charlie McCartin, Jack Marks and Josiah Landy will serve as emergencies for the clash.

Saturday will serve as a double-header with Collingwood’s VFLW program, who will face Casey at the KGM Centre at 1pm (AEST) as they look to secure a fourth straight win to maintain their strong start to the 2026 season.

With both programs taking on the Demons across the day before Monday’s Big Freeze AFL clash, the occasion presents a fantastic whole-of-club approach to unite in support of Fight MND.

Collingwood’s VFL clash with Casey will be broadcast on ABC and ABC iView, while also streamed live and free on Collingwoodfc.com.au.
