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.
Magpies midfielder Sam Swadling, 19, has been named for his AFL debut, while Ned Long and Steele Sidebottom are back.
