While Collingwood is on track for a top-two finish, the Lions' QClash loss to the Suns has left them vulnerable.

Both teams have challenging runs home, making a win in this clash hugely important.

The big guns are back for the Pies with Jordan De Goey, Bobby Hill and Scott Pendlebury all returning in place of Tom Mitchell, Ed Allan and Lachie Sullivan, while Brisbane has added Henry Smith and Bruce Reville for Conor McKenna and Oscar McInerney.
