Sydney veterans Kieren Jack and Jarrad McVeigh are in the box seat to return from injury against Collingwood in Saturday night’s crunch AFL clash, while Dan Hannebery could also be a surprise starter at the SCG.

Jack (knee), McVeigh (broken collarbone) and Hannebery (calf) were all hurt in the Swans’ costly loss to Geelong on July 5.

The trio haven’t played since, missing losses to Gold Coast and Essendon that have resulted in Sydney slipping out of the top eight.
