HAYDEN Young will start as the sub for his first game since round eight in Fremantle's clash against Collingwood at the MCG.

Young has been sidelined for most of 2025 due to a serious hamstring injury, but returns today as the Dockers eye a win that would be pivotal to their hopes of playing finals.

The Magpies are premiership favourites but saw their eight-game winning run come to an end against Gold Coast last week.

The Dockers are right in the finals hunt after a good win over Hawthorn last week saw them improve to 11-6.

Collingwood will be without a host of experience with five big outs.

Tim Membrey and Tom Mitchell have been managed, Jeremy Howe and Dan Houston are out injured and Roan Steele has been omitted. Brody Mihocek, Beau McCreery, Pat Lipinski, Charlie Dean and Ed Allan come in. 

The Dockers have brought back Young, with Isaiah Dudley omitted.

Adelaide and Gold Coast complete round 19 in another finals-shaping clash.

The Crows are flying and at 12-5 should be eyeing a top-four finish, having proven too good for the Western Bulldogs last week.
