Collingwood has regained defensive lynchpins Darcy Moore and Jeremy Howe for Friday night’s match against Greater Western Sydney, dropping Jack Buller.

In other round three selection news, Brisbane has regained suspended All-Australian Zac Bailey, along with fellow premiership players Darcy Gardiner and Logan Morris, while Jaeger O’Meara is back for Fremantle and Adam Saad is missing for Carlton.

While the Magpies are strengthened, the Giants are still missing some guns, with none of Toby Bedford, Aaron Cadman or Brent Daniels able to overcome injury to be named.

The Lions will still be without Hugh McCluggage (calf), facing a Saints team that has regained Dan Butler and Dougal Howard.

Brennan Cox has overcome a calf problem to also be named for Fremantle, while opponent Richmond has made four changes.

Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines has been named in Port Adelaide’s extended 26-man squad that will be without injured trio Connor Rozee, Miles Bergman and Todd Marshall to face West Coast on Sunday.
