Collingwood has recalled Dan McStay from an ACL injury for its do-or-die clash with Hawthorn, while Essendon has swung the axe ahead of Friday night’s meeting with Adelaide.
McStay will play first AFL game in 2024 after returning from his ACL injury via the VFL last week, in a huge boost for the reigning premiers in a bid to get back into the finals.
Jeremy Howe and Lachie Sullivan also return for the Pies, with Harvey Harrison (managed), Lachie Schultz (concussion) and Billy Frampton (omitted) making way, while Jack Ginnivan is back to face his old side along with Finn Maginness.

Brad Scott has made a selection statement for Friday night’s showdown with Adelaide, dumping Peter Wright, Dyson Heppell and Nick Hind as Jayden Laverde, Todd Goldstein and Jye Menzie return to the 23.
As first reported by Foxfooty.com.au’s Will Faulkner, the Crows have rested veteran Taylor Walker, replaced by Mitch Hinge.
Sydney has managed Callum Mills for Sunday’s crunch match with Brisbane a week after the Swans skipper’s season debut, with Justin McInerney and James Rowbottom (both injured) also out.
Isaac Heeney returns from suspension among six Swans ins including Sam Reid named on an extended bench.
Max Gawn’s bid to return from a fibula injury has fallen short, with the Demons superstar skipper not named to face Fremantle on Sunday. Simon Goodwin however has included Tom Fullarton in his extended squad to potentially play his first game for the club.
The Western Bulldogs have two big boosts for their must-win game against Geelong, with Adam Treloar and Aaron Naughton returning.
Port Adelaide has been hit hard with injuries ahead of their meeting with Richmond on Saturday night, losing Lachie Lachie Jones, Kane Farrell, Todd Marshall and Jeremy Finlayson.
Esava Ratugolea, Mitch Georgiades, Willie Rioli and Dylan Williams are all back in Ken Hinkley’s 23.
The Tigers similarly will be without Nick Vlaustin, Tim Taranto and Jack Graham due to injury.
Carlton has recalled Jesse Motlop, George Hewett, David Cuningham and Sam Durdin as part of an extended bench for Sunday’s game against North Melbourne, while Brodie Kemp (omitted) and Zac Williams (suspended) will miss.
The Roos have named Zac Fisher, Jaidyn Stephenson, Griffin Logue, Will Phillips and Robert Hansen Jr and axed Curtis Taylor and Kallan Dawson.
The Giants have replaced Stephen Coniglio (shoulder) with Xavier O’Halloran for their clash with the Suns, who’ve brought in Lachie Weller for his first game this season after an ACL injury alongside David Swallow and Alex Sexton.
