Collingwood will unleash another debutant this weekend, with Caleb Poulter set to play his first game.
He was taken with pick 30 in the 2020 National Draft out of Woodville West-Torrens.
Poulter will be the club’s fifth debutant this season, joining Ollie Henry, Beau McCreery, Finlay Macrae and Jay Rantall.
The Magpies announced the debut on Twitter, with Poulter needing to hit a basketball shot to get his spot in the 22.

"You've come in and had a real crack," Buckley said in the video.
"You've got a lot of talent. Your ball use is exceptional. But what you've shown is your capacity to play a role. We've tried you as a defensive mid, you've played wing, high half-back … but that wing role really suits you.
"You're bringing the heat when it's required, you're out-numbering when it's required and your discipline in the role is starting to come through. Just trust yourself, play your role and express yourself. We're looking forward to what you can bring."
Poulter picked up 27 disposals in the VFL last weekend against Essendon.
He will be joined by Jordan De Goey (concussion) and Mark Keane (suspension), who are both available for selection.
