Medical subs named
No late changes for either club and we have the medical subs named with Nakia Cockatoo (Brisbane) and John Noble (Collingwood) the players waiting on the bench.
‘Make them remember you’: Leigh Matthews presents Kai Lohmann with first jumper
‘Lethal’ Leigh Matthews has presented Brisbane debutante Kai Lohmann with his first AFL jumper and the three-time Lions premiership coach didn’t just give the jumper away but challenged the young player to “make the bloke at the back of the grandstand remember who Kai Lohmann is”.
The Lions also recorded Lohmann calling his mum and his dad during the week to tell them he was making his debut.
Mihocek and Ginnivan out, leaving Pies searching for ‘creative’ response
Collingwood coach Craig McRae says he will need to get “a bit creative” for Thursday night’s clash against the Brisbane Lions because the Magpies will be without three of their best forwards.
Brody Mihocek’s partner has coronavirus, meaning Mihocek has gone into the league’s health and safety protocols, while Jamie Elliott has had surgery on his AC joint and is expected to be sidelined for up to three months after injuring himself in the loss to the West Coast Eagles on Saturday.

Fellow forward Jack Ginnivan (soreness) will also miss the trip north, leaving the Magpies searching for goalkickers.
