Collingwood News Alex Fasolo on Monday had surgery on his injured shoulder. As Scott Pendlebury's season was kept alive on Monday afternoon, two of his Collingwood teammates faced the more daunting prospect of season-ending surgery. Both Alex Fasolo and Tim Broomhead have succumbed to separate shoulder injuries and will now turn their attention towards recovering for the 2017 pre-season. "Alex Fasolo and Tim Broomhead today both had shoulder surgery," Collingwood director of football Neil Balme broke the news on the 'Blackmores Injury Update'. "Both of those boys will miss the rest of the year. "They have slightly different conditions, but both were in a situation where they couldn't play anymore." Fasolo's 12 games in 2016 acted as a season full of promise. Since kicked six goals against Richmond in round two, the 24-year-old was a constant threat in the forward line. He continues to sit at the top of Collingwood's goal-kicking leaderboard with 25 majors, despite playing just two games since injuring his shoulder against the Western Bulldogs in round 10. Surgery for Broomhead ends a season to forget. The 2015 Rising Star nominee spent three rounds in the VFL before playing in Collingwood's AFL side in round six and seven. He was then sidelined by a persistent ankle injury before hurting the shoulder which has now ruled him out for the remainder of the year. Broomhead and Fasolo join Jamie Elliott (back), Tom Langdon (knee), Jackson Ramsay (knee), Matthew Scharenberg (knee) and Dane Swan (foot) as Collingwood players who won't return to the field in 2016. One who will is captain Scott Pendlebury. Pendlebury hobbled from the field midway through the last quarter of the Magpies' 15-point loss to Richmond at the MCG on Friday night. He wore a moonboot as he watched the VFL Magpies at the Holden Centre on Saturday, and later had scans to inspect any damage to his foot. "We had a scan straight away and fortunately there was no cracks, no fractures or no great problems," Balme reported. "He was a little bit sore, but he is a reasonable chance to get up this week. "He'll need to train, but he's certainly a short-term test." Another player who is a chance to take on the Western Bulldogs is young forward Darcy Moore. Moore kicked a bag of five goals against the Dogs in just his third AFL game in round 17 last season. After being named as a short-term injury last week, he is this week considered a stronger chance to return to the field. "He's running pretty well and some decent chance for this week," Balme said. "We won't take any risk with him." Ben Sinclair will continue to face concussion tests in a bid to return to the field this season, while Brayden Sier has been listed as short-to-medium term with an injured back.

Herald Sun SUMMARY: COLLINGWOOD captain Scott Pendlebury is a chance to play this week but two more Magpies have been ruled out for the rest of the season. Pendlebury hurt his foot during Friday night's clash against Richmond and scans have cleared him of serious injury. "We had a scan straight away and fortunately there was no cracks, no fractures, no great problem," football manager Neil Balme told the Pies website. "He's a little bit sore, but he's a reasonable chance of getting up for this week." Alex Fasolo and Tim Broomhead both had shoulder surgery on Monday and won't play again this year. But Balme said Darcy Moore (hamstring) is a "decent chance" to face the Bulldogs on Friday night and Ben Sinclair could also return from multiple concussions. "He'll need to train and he'll need to feel well, with the concussions obviously we're quite conservative," Balme said. "He'll need to be 100 per cent and really feel like playing before we pick him, but we're very confident he'll give himself a chance." ON THE BLOCK: Coach Nathan Buckley declared it was the "worst three quarters" he had seen all season from his side in Friday night's loss to Richmond, and he could well come out swinging. The forwards were a big focus for Buckley, who labelled them completely ineffective in the 15-point defeat, and the likes of Mason Cox, Jonathan Marsh and Marley Williams all struggled to have an influence. Scott Pendlebury's ankle has the Pies sweating, with the skipper to be watched closely during the week. ON THE CUSP: Young forward Darcy Moore faces a test on his hamstring this week and could provide the spark the attack so desperately needs. Jordan De Goey contributed in front of goal at VFL level, while Tyson Goldsack was dominant in a huge win for the VFL Magpies and could well regain his spot. LAUREN WOOD'S FORECAST: There's nowhere to hide for the Pies, who will no doubt bear the wrath of a smarting Nathan Buckley this week. Friday night, Western Bulldogs, Etihad Stadium. The trifecta. Ball use simply has to improve if they are to maintain any pride – which is all that's left to play for – over the last few rounds. If Pendlebury misses, things could get ugly.
