COLLINGWOOD will be without Beau McCreery for the final-round clash against Essendon after receiving a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle in Friday night's loss to Brisbane.

McCreery was charged after slamming Lion Darcy Wilmot into the Marvel Stadium turf during the third quarter of the Pies' 24-point defeat.
