Collingwood News Jordan De Goey has been named to play his first game for season 2017 when Collingwood celebrates its 125th anniversary against Carlton at the MCG on Saturday. De Goey is joined by Ben Reid and Jackson Ramsay in Nathan Buckley's 22-man side. The injured Travis Varcoe will be watching from the grandstands, as will Henry Schade, who is having his workload managed, and the omitted Tim Broomhead. De Goeing back for more The match will be De Goey's first at senior level since the first round of the JLT Community Series. A broken knuckle was followed by a three-week suspension on the eve of the opening home and away game against the Western Bulldogs. In the three VFL games he played while suspended from senior duties, De Goey averaged 25 disposals and five disposals. His return is timely, for he claimed 32 disposals, five inside 50s and two goals against Sandringham last Saturday. He has been named at half forward, but can be expected to move into the midfield at different stages. Bolstering the backs Ben Reid and Jackson Ramsay slot straight into the back six after missing last week's win over Geelong. Reid had his workload managed last week, given the fact that Collingwood will be playing its third game in 12 days this Saturday, while Ramsay was omitted but did not play in the VFL. He was, instead, used as a carry over player for the senior side.
