The stage is set for a Friday night blockbuster at the MCG, as Hawthorn try and bounce back from a winless fortnight against the ladder-leading Magpies.
Collingwood (9-2, 132.9 per cent), who have won their last three games, are boosted by a handful of big returns in the form of Scott Pendlebury, Darcy Moore, Steele Sidebottom, Lachie Schultz and Bobby Hill.
The Hawks (7-4, 117.4 per cent) have come under pressure this week, after back-to-back tight losses to Brisbane and Gold Coast. Jarman Impey return to the starting 23 for Sam Mitchell, with Cam Mackenzie omitted.

While the Pies go in as favourites, Hawthorn has been their bogey team for some time now, with Collingwood having won just four of their last 19 matchups that date all the way back to their heart-stopping 2011 preliminary final.
The game gets underway at 7:40pm AEST from the MCG, with Lachie Sullivan (Magpies) and Finn Maginness (Hawks) the respective substitutes.
