Collingwood has confirmed a strong 26-man team for Sunday's Marsh Community Series game against St Kilda in Morwell.

The five players who took part in last week's State of Origin for Bushfire Relief match - Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom, Darcy Moore, Jeremy Howe and Brodie Grundy - have all been named in the team after their representative duties meant they missed the Pies' win over Richmond in Wangaratta.

Speedy forward Jaidyn Stephenson also returns after withdrawing from the team to play the Tigers due to personal reasons.

However, Adam Treloar will miss the clash with the Saints after suffering a hamstring injury against Richmond.

Meanwhile, a number of AFL-listed players will take to the field in Saturday's VFL practice match against Sandringham at the Holden Centre.

The Pies open their AFL premiership season campaign against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Friday, March 20.
