Collingwood News

Two of the keys to Collingwood’s midfield remain in with a chance to play against North Melbourne this Sunday.
Dayne Beams (back tightness) and Luke Ball (calf tightness) were casualties before and during Friday night’s win over West Coast and will face fitness tests later this week to determine their availability.
Ball, who was substituted out of the match after experiencing tightness in his calf early in the third quarter, has received a promising report from the club’s medical staff.
“The scans were clear, but he’s still feeling some tightness,” interim Director of Football Rodney Eade told collingwoodfc.com.au.
“He’ll be assessed later on this week.”
As for Beams, who was a late withdrawal owing to back tightness, the 23-year-old faces a similar scenario to that of Ball.
“Beamsy’s progressing well,” said Eade.
“He’ll train later this week and we’ll assess things from there.”
Hamstring pair Clinton Young and Jamie Elliott will have their legs tested later this week while Ben Sinclair’s shoulder will also be examined.
Should Young return, it is is likely against Port Melbourne in the VFL Elimination Final this Saturday.
The news isn’t as good for Corey Gault.
The young key defender will miss Collingwood’s VFL finals campaign due to a groin injury.
Gault, who is in his second year on the list, was a notable absentee from Saturday’s thrilling win over Werribee.
