Tim Membrey Returns in Round 9 Win? — Collingwood Game Today

Tim Membrey is back for collingwood game today, with the forward set to play his first VFL match since 2024 against Werribee at Melbourne Avalon Airport Oval. Collingwood named four changes for the Round 9 clash on Saturday, 23 May 2025, and Membrey’s return is the headline move in a side that has just come off a road loss to Sydney.

Tim Membrey and Werribee

Membrey’s comeback follows the hamstring injury he sustained in Collingwood’s AFL Anzac Day clash with Essendon. He will line up in the VFL again after missing the stretch that kept him out of the format since 2024.

Jack Buller joins him in the side, while Wil Parker also returns for the Werribee match. Lachie Sullivan is back after a concussion from Collingwood’s Round 7 VFL clash against Box Hill, giving the Magpies another experienced body for a match that now carries four selection changes.

Collingwood’s Four Changes

Brady Grey misses the game because of injury, with Harry Kennedy and Liam Hude also out. Zac McCarthy has been managed against Werribee, leaving Collingwood to adjust its VFL line-up again after the loss on the road to Sydney.

Hude, Kennedy, Luke Quaynor, Jack Marks, Hamish Collins and Charlie McCartin will serve as emergencies. That list gives Collingwood cover across the squad if more movement is needed before the opening bounce.

For supporters tracking selection more than the scoreline, the return of Membrey, Buller, Parker and Sullivan changes the shape of the VFL side immediately, while Grey, Kennedy, Hude and McCarthy leave openings that need filling against Werribee.
