INJURY-hit Collingwood has been forced into five changes for Friday night's match against the Western Bulldogs, with Jeremy Howe among the inclusions.

Richmond has managed veteran Dion Prestia, who will not face Geelong, while Andrew Gaff is back for his first game since round one when West Coast hosts St Kilda.

The big round 12 team news surrounds the Magpies, who are missing Scott Pendlebury, Mason Cox, Brody Mihocek and Joe Richards through injury from the team that drew with Fremantle, but regain Howe from a groin setback, while Ash Johnson and Oleg Markov have also been recalled.

The Bulldogs have named tall forward Rory Lobb as one of three changes for the match.

The Tigers have midfielder Jack Graham back in after he overcame a hamstring injury to replace the rested Prestia, while Gary Rohan (adductor) is back for the Cats as one of two changes.

Hunter Clark will play his first game for St Kilda in 2024 after starring in the VFL last week, while Tim Membrey and Dan Butler have also forced their way in for the must-win match against the Eagles.

Adam Simpson has recalled Gaff, while former Greater Western Sydney ruckman Matt Flynn will make his club debut.

In Saturday's other game, Lloyd Meek (ankle) has been replaced by Ned Reeves as the Hawks look to continue their strong form against an unchanged Adelaide at the MCG.

Melbourne has named Ben Brown and Jack Billings in its extended squad to face Fremantle on Sunday, but forward Jacob van Rooyen will miss through injury.

Sam Flanders has been named in Gold Coast's 26-man squad to face Essendon at People First Stadium.
