AFL games record-holder Scott Pendlebury has been handed an extended rest, while Western Bulldogs veteran Tom Liberatore will make his long-awaited return this weekend.
In other big round 15 selection news, the Bulldogs have rested Cody Weightman just two games into his return from a knee injury, while Stephen Coniglio is back for GWS, and Adelaide have been boosted by the return of Mark Keane, Izak Rankine and Taylor Walker.
Pendlebury, who has racked up a record 435 AFL games, will effectively have a fortnight off, given Collingwood had a bye last week and the 38-year-old is being "managed" from Saturday night's clash with Port Adelaide at the MCG.
