Collingwood will take an inexperienced side into Sunday’ pre-season clash with North Melbourne at Mars Stadium in Ballarat in both clubs’ final preparations for the season proper.
The Magpies have opted to leave more than 1270 games of AFL experience as emergencies — with Nick Daicos, Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury, Jordan De Goey, Jack Crisp and Jamie Elliott all being rested for the clash.
