COLLINGWOOD and Geelong will have a dress rehearsal for Round 1 with both sides naming full-strength teams for their practice match tomorrow.
The Magpies have recalled Dane Swan, Scott Pendlebury, Travis Cloke, Heath Shaw and Harry O'Brien to the team that was beaten by the Brisbane Lions last weekend.
Geelong, meanwhile, welcomes back Jimmy Bartel, Corey Enright, Harry Taylor, Josh Caddy, Allen Christensen, Billie Smedts, Mitch Duncan and Jared Rivers.
The Cats made a late change to the squad, with Paul Chapman pulling out.He has been replaced by Jordan Schroder.
Expanded squads and the interchange cap trialled during the NAB Cup are gone as clubs make their final preparations for the start of the home-and-away season.
For the Cats that means stars Steve Johnson and James Kelly, who will both miss Round 1 through suspension, won't play against Collingwood. The club says they could take part in a VFL practice match.
Missing for the Magpies are injured stars Dale Thomas, Luke Ball, Alan Didak and Ben Reid. Only Reid is a chance to play in Round 1.
Among the youngsters seen during the pre-season to make way this weekend for established stars are Magpies Josh Thomas, Ben Kennedy, Kyle Martin, Adam Oxley and Marley Williams, and Cats Jackson Thurlow, Joel Hamling, Shane Kersten and Jordan Schroder.

The Pies have two vacant senior list positions but one seems certain to go to experienced ruckman Ben Hudston.
Hudson hasn't been named in the Magpies' squad this weekend, however, with Jarrod Witts to back up Darren Jolly in a hint he could be in line for a Round 1 debut.
