Coach Nathan Buckley says Collingwood are in good shape ahead of their qualifying final clash with Geelong on Friday night, saying there is no reason for the Pies "not to shine".

Buckley said the team's availability was as good as it had been all season, but would not reveal the number of changes he would make to the squad for the blockbuster clash at the MCG.

"I reckon we hit them pretty well," Buckley said. "The squad trained well and we are in good shape.

"We will have a really well-balanced side and we are looking forward to the challenge. We believe that we are in good shape – our preparation has been pretty good, our availability is as good as it has been all year, there is really no reason for us not to shine."
