Travis Cloke will be joined by Nathan Brown and James Aish in Collingwood's round 14 team.
A set of bookends with a combined games total of 358 join the Collingwood team this week as 2010 Premiership players Nathan Brown and Travis Cloke return to the AFL side.
The duo are two of three inclusions to a Collingwood team which will take on Fremantle on Friday night at the MCG.
The third fresh face will be James Aish, an ex-Brisbane Lion who has been starring at VFL level in recent weeks.
While Aish has provided class and poise on a wing for the VFL Magpies, Cloke showed incredible intensity in his last hit-out at Casey Fields.
The two-goal, 10 tackle game has led to a recall, and another chance to prove his worth at AFL level.
"His performance at Casey a couple of weeks ago was an absolute standout in regards to attitude and effort in regards to attitude and effort and contest," coach Nathan Buckley told the media on Thursday.
Buckley also commented on Brown, noting that the 27-year-old had made adjustments to his game to meet the changing requirements of playing at AFL level.
"He's worked really hard and been really diligent around what the game is asking from him in his role," Buckley said.
"He'll play key back."
Three inclusions means three unlucky Magpies this week won't experience Friday night football at the MCG.
Young forward Ben Crocker will miss with a knee injury, while ruckman Jarrod Witts and key defender Jack Frost have been omitted.
Witts and Frost will join a number of teammates in playing for the VFL Magpies against Richmond on Sunday afternoon at Victoria Park.
