WALYLUP welcomes Collingwood to its Optus Stadium home for a blockbuster Friday night clash.

DOCKERS v MAGPIES Follow it LIVE

The Dockers (6-4) are within striking distance of the top four even, despite currently sitting outside the top eight by percentage, after winning three of their past four matches.

Walyalup could put itself in an even stronger position with a victory on its home deck against the reigning premier.

Collingwood (6-3-1) has rocketed into fifth spot on the ladder after stringing together seven games without a loss, including last week's unbelievable come-from-behind win over Kuwarna.

Despite an ever-growing injury list, the Magpies loom as an imposing prospect for the Dockers. They travel well and have a promising record at Optus Stadium, with three victories from their past four visits going back to 2020.

The Dockers regain Sean Darcy and recall Corey Wagner, who will start as the sub, while Patrick Voss has been omitted and Michael Frederick is out injured.

The Pies have made five changes with Charlie Dean, Beau McCreery and Brody Mihocek in as Ed Allan and Wil Parker make their AFL debuts.

Parker starts the game as Collingwood's sub. 

Jordan De Goey, Will Hoskin-Elliott and Reef McInnes are out injured, Fin Macrae has been omitted and Oleg Markov is out due to personal reasons.
