Collingwood`s historic team faces Carlton, while Sydney Swans hope for player returns ahead of their matches.

Collingwood has made history by naming the oldest team in V/AFL history to take on Carlton, boasting an average age of 28 years and 275 days. This milestone surpasses the previous record held by the 2022 Geelong Grand Final side. The Magpies will see the return of key players Brody Mihocek and Billy Frampton, strengthening their lineup ahead of this crucial match.

Carlton, however, will be without their star forward Harry McKay, who is absent due to personal reasons. In his place, Will White is set to make his AFL debut, adding fresh talent to the Blues` roster as they prepare for the challenge against Collingwood.

In other updates, the Sydney Swans are optimistic about the return of several players, including captain Callum Mills, as they gear up for their match against North Melbourne. Meanwhile, Essendon faces a setback with pre-season signing Tom Edwards suffering an ACL injury, pending confirmation of the severity.

The Gold Coast Suns are expected to maintain their current lineup against Adelaide, as no players are returning from injury. Additionally, the West Coast Eagles are dealing with concerns over a key veteran player’s injury ahead of their encounter with the GWS Giants.
