Collingwood are expected to regain key midfielder Taylor Adams for their grand final rematch against West Coast on Saturday night.

Adams has been cleared to play after finger surgery late in the pre-season, with the Magpies only waiting to see that his ball handling is clean at training before selecting him for the Saturday night clash at the MCG.

The likely inclusion of Adams will mean one player will have to be dropped from the team that comprehensively beat a weakened Richmond last week.

Richmond, meanwhile, will have to face a Greater Western Sydney team strengthened by the return of gun midfielder Josh Kelly, who will play his first game of 2019. But another star Giant, forward Toby Greene, will miss again due to a calf injury.
