Collingwood has added young duo Tim Broomhead and Paul Seedsman to its side ahead of Saturday’s twlight clash with Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.
Broomhead and Seedsman missed Collingwood’s two-goal win over Brisbane at the Gabba last week and come into the side to replace the injured Steele Sidebottom (thumb) and Jordan De Goey, who has been omitted.
Broomhead’s promotion comes off the back of a two-goal performance against Richmond’s VFL side last fortnight.
He averaged 10 disposals in his two NAB Challenge outings earlier this year.
Seedsman has not been sighted in the senior side all year after undergoing minor hip surgery in January.
The 23-year-old’s rehabilitation program saw him make a gradual return via the VFL.
Forwards Corey Gault and Patrick Karnezis head Collingwood’s emergency list, along with utility Sam Dwyer.
Collingwood’s team is:
B: Alan Toovey, Nathan Brown, Ben Sinclair
HB: Tom Langdon, Jack Frost, Jackson Ramsay
C: Travis Varcoe, Dane Swan, Jack Crisp
HF: Jamie Elliott, Jesse White, Tim Broomhead
F: Alex Fasolo, Travis Cloke, Jarryd Blair
Foll: Brodie Grundy, Taylor Adams, Scott Pendlebury
Int: Tyson Goldsack, Marley Williams, Paul Seedsman, Adam Oxley
Emg: Sam Dwyer, Patrick Karnezis, Corey Gault
IN: Tim Broomhead, Paul Seedsman
OUT: Steele Sidebottom (thumb), Jordan De Goey (omitted)
