LIVE AFL: Trio of huge Pies boosts in finals rematch with depleted Dockers

Collingwood will look to consolidate its spot on the top of the AFL ladder when it hosts Fremantle at the MCG on Saturday afternoon in a semi-final rematch.

The Magpies (14-2, 137.1%), who’ve won their last three matches, welcome back Steele Sidebottom, Brayden Maynard and Dan McStay in three big inclusions, however No. 1 ruckman Darcy Cameron will miss due to a back issue.

They face a Dockers side (7-9, 91.7%) fighting for its season, not helped by wholesale forced outs including Caleb Serong (suspension), Brennan Cox, Hayden Young and Michael Frederick (all injured).
