Lachlan Keeffe (hamstring)
"Lachie hurt his hamstring last week so he is short-term, meaning I don’t think he will play against Carlton this week but he won’t be far away."
Brent Macaffer (knee)
"Brent is medium term injury. He’s still recovering from his knee reconstruction. So he’ll be medium- to longer-term, only because we’re going to give plenty of time. "
Jonathon Marsh (hamstring)
"Jonathon is in the same boat as Darcy Moore and Paul Seedsman (medium-term). He had serious hamstring surgery and will require conditioning."
Darcy Moore (toe)
"Darcy, with his toe, is in a similar position to Paul Seedsman and Jonathon Marsh (medium-term). He’s in full training, but he’s not quite available to play because of the conditioning element."
Paul Seedsman (hip)
"Paul is in full training. He’s not available to play, meaning he hasn’t done enough conditioning. He won’t be far away at all. He’s relatively available but not for this week (medium-term)."
Matthew Scharenberg (knee)
"Matt, who had a knee reconstruction last August, is in a similar position to Brent Macaffer but he’s probably in advance of Brent. Whilst he’s probably still medium-term because he’s got some work to do, he’s still in pretty good shape. He’ll be relatively soon"
Clinton Young (hamstring)
"Clinton is still medium-term with his hamstring, meaning he’ll be some weeks - we’re not quite sure how many. He’s training but he’s still a fair way off."
Collingwood's injury list explained
In 2015, Collingwood will be using the following method to categorise its injuries:
Short-term
A short-term injury indicates that there is some chance a player will play in the VFL or AFL on the coming weekend, but it is more likely that they won't.
Medium-term
If a player has sustained a medium-term injury, it is considered that he will require more than a two weeks to return to the VFL or the AFL, but the club is unsure exactly how long it will be.
Long-term
If a player has sustained a long-term injury, that means it will be more than six weeks until they play football at either VFL or AFL level.
"We normally talk about how many weeks players are going to miss, but we never know for sure," Director of Football Neil Balme explained.
"It’s always a bit of a guess. This stops us from saying two-to-three weeks, which then turns into 18 weeks, which can quite often happen."
