Collingwood News Travis Cloke has been omitted from Collingwood's senior team after a 13-disposal performance against Port Adelaide last weekend. Collingwood has confirmed four changes to its line up for the Queen's Birthday clash with Melbourne at the MCG. Two players, Jonathon Marsh and Tom Phillips, will appear for their first game of the season, taking the number of players used to 38 after just 12 rounds. They will be joined by Marley Williams and Jarrod Witts, who will play his first match since the opening round loss to Sydney. Alan Toovey and Matthew Goodyear join Travis Cloke and Adam Oxley as the four players omitted. Phillips, who will debut at the age of 20, was recruited with pick No. 58 in last November's National Draft. A left-footed wingman, Phillips' consistency has been a feature of the VFL season to date. He collected 33 disposals and kicked three goals in last week's win over Werribee, and has been on the match committee's radar since ANZAC Day, when he was first named as an emergency. Earlier Travis Cloke is one of two omissions from a Collingwood squad named to take on Melbourne in Monday's annual Queen's Birthday clash. Cloke and defender Adam Oxley have been left out of a side which lost to Port Adelaide by 69 points last Sunday. Oxley had 13 disposals against the Power. Cloke also had 13 touches in a match that was described by coach Nathan Buckley post game as "serviceable". The two omissions provide opportunity for a number of Collingwood players previously sitting outside the starting 22. Marley Williams and Tom Phillips are in line to take on the Demons, while Jarrod Witts, Nathan Brown and Jonathon Marsh have been added to the Magpies' extended bench. If selected, Phillips will to become the fifth Collingwood player to debut this season. Selected with pick 58 in the 2015 National Draft, the 19-year-old was a pre-season bolter during his first summer at the Holden Centre. He dethroned Steele Sidebottom as Collingwood's 2km time-trial champ in November before getting his first AFL experience against North Melbourne in round three of the NAB Challenge. Phillips most recent game caught the attention of many as he won 33 disposals and kicked three goals in a best-on-ground VFL performance against Werribee. In the same match, defender Williams played his best game since coming back from a toe injury a fortnight prior. He has been named on the half-back flank, in a backline also consisting of former Demon Jeremy Howe. Howe didn't train with Collingwood's main group on Thursday as he continued to struggle to overcome minor knee and abductor injuries. "(Howe) was sore, there's no doubt," Buckley said before training. "He's been pretty important for us in the last month in that defensive role." Collingwood will train for the final time on Saturday before the final team to take on the Demons is named at 5pm on Saturday night.
