Collingwood has made one change to its Sunday lineup with Alan Toovey returning for the highly anticipated round 10 clash with West Coast at the MCG on Sunday.
The premiership defender returns after missing one match with chest bruising suffered when he courageously ran back with the flight of the ball in the round eight game against Geelong.
Tyson Goldsack has been omitted and is named as an emergency along with Lachlan Keeffe and Alex Fasolo.
21-year-old midfielder Dayne Beams will play his 50th game on Sunday against the Eagles. Beams, recruited from Southport in Queensland, debuted in round two of the 2009 season, and played in the 2010 premiership side.

The Eagles are coming off a 123-point demolition of the Western Bulldogs, and are one of the in-form teams in the competition. They have made just one change with Brad Sheppard (18 games) coming in for an injured Sam Butler (72 games).
For the Magpies, veteran running defender Ben Johnson (back) remains on the sidelines but is expected to be available next week, while big men Leigh Brown (calf) and Darren Jolly (knee) are also a chance to return in round 11.
