Collingwood have confirmed two changes ahead of their Friday night AFLW clash with Port Adelaide at Alberton Oval, with Sarah Rowe and Georgia Knight both coming into the side. 

Rowe, who last appeared in the Magpies’ Round 8 clash with the Dees, has overcome a groin injury to return for her 82nd AFLW match up. 

Second-year Pie Knight has also been named, with the crafty forward set to play her second game of the 2026 season on Friday night. 

Coming out of the side is midfielder Bri Davey, who will be sidelined for the remainder of Collingwood’s 2026 campaign after scans revealed syndesmosis to her right ankle.  

Davey sustained an ankle injury during the opening term of the side’s Round 10 game against the Sydney Swans on Sunday afternoon. Following medical assessment on the day, Davey was cleared to play out the remainder of the match.  

Davey had subsequent scans this week after experiencing soreness during training.  

20-year-old Charlotte Brewer has been omitted, with the winger to serve as an emergency alongside Amy Smith and Liv Lewis. 

Friday night will pose an exciting opportunity for the young Collingwood side as they play under lights for the second time this season in a prime-time slot in front of their faithful South Australian Magpie Army. 

It will be just the second time in Collingwood history they will play Port Adelaide in a home-and-away match, with the first being in Round 7, 2024 in a narrow eight-point loss at Alberton Oval. 

The match will be broadcast live and free on the Seven Network, with the first ball up at 7:15pm AEDT (6:45pm ACST).
