COLLINGWOOD has regained integral small defender Sophie Casey for its preliminary final against Brisbane.

Casey missed last week with concussion, and after 10 consecutive games, winger Joanna Lin is desperately unlucky to be dropped.

The Lions have had a defensive boost of their own, regaining the fearless Shannon Campbell after also missing with concussion.

Rheanne Lugg, who had originally been called in as cover for Campbell, has made way.

13:32

Daisy Pearce's bid to recover from a damaged MCL has fallen short, with Melbourne taking in an unchanged side for its preliminary final against Adelaide.

The Crows are also unchanged, with forwards Chelsea Biddell and Ailish Considine the emergencies.

Niamh McEvoy and Megan Fitzsimon are the Demons' emergencies.
