AFL Now: Latest updates, injury lists and team news on Wednesday ahead of round 6

Jordan De Goey is officially in for the 2023 GF rematch, but the Pies won’t have one of their key targets up forward when they face the Lions at the Gabba.

Collingwood star Jordan De Goey has been officially named to return from his sore ankle with a blockbuster clash against Brisbane on Thursday.

The midfielder was managed for Gather Round’s win over Sydney after inflammation in his lower leg, with the club taking a conservative approach.

But De Goey will line up against Lachie Neale and the Lions in the midfield.

Tim Membrey has been managed as Collingwood’s only change for the clash, but has been named as an emergency.

Brisbane will unveil another debutant in Sam Marshall, who was drafted as an Academy product in 2024.

Marshall won a Coates Talent League premiership for Sandringham Dragons last year alongside Levi Ashcroft, who is quickly becoming a household name for the Lions.

Ashcroft was the Rising Star nominee for round 4 and is averaging 19.6 disposals a game to start his career.

James Tunstill will also play for Brisbane, with Will McLachlan (omitted) and Bruce Reville (injured) making way.
