After losing in Opening Round, Collingwood has posted wins over Port Adelaide, the Western Bulldogs and Carlton.

The Swans were 0-2 but have recorded courtesy of victories against Fremantle and North Melbourne under first-year coach Dean Cox.

Will Hoskin-Elliott, Lachlan Sullivan and Ed Allan come in to the Magpies' line-up to replace Dan Houston (suspension), Jordan De Goey (ankle) and Lachie Schultz (hamstring).

The Swans go in unchanged.
