Collingwood News Nathan Brown Collingwood full back Nathan Brown has accepted a one-week ban for rough conduct after a collision with Sydney's Luke Parker. Brown, who has not missed a game this season, will not be available for selection against Richmond on Saturday. Brown, 26, was charged with rough conduct after tangling with Parker early in the second quarter during Friday's loss to the Swans at the SCG. The AFL's Match Review Panel released the following summary of the incident: Nathan Brown has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Luke Parker, Sydney Swans, during the second quarter of the Round 20 match between Collingwood and the Sydney Swans, played at the SCG on Friday August 14, 2015. Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Sydney Swans Football Club, the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a two-game sanction. The player has no applicable bad record. An early plea enables the player to accept a one-game sanction. Comments on Collingwood's injury list by Director of Football Neil Balme: Brenden Abbott (shoulder): Brenden has had that shoulder surgery and won’t play for the rest of the season, so he is certainly long-term. Tim Broomhead (shoulder): Tim is coming along pretty well. He hasn’t given up a chance of playing later on in the year, even though there is not much time of the year left. Broomy is coming along pretty well. Nathan Freeman (hamstring): Nathan is still having a bit of trouble with that hamstring. It’s a relatively minor problem that he has got but on top of the whole long-term nature of that hamstring of his. He won’t play this week so we will just have to see how he goes. Corey Gault (groin/hip): Corey is in a similar position to Adam Oxley, not quite as positive, he will have to get through training. He has had some groin and hip problems as well. There is some chance that he will play this week, if not, certainly next week. At worst short-term. Adam Oxley (hip): Adam has had the a problem. He should be almost certainly be a chance to play this week. Obviously he will have to need to train but we are pretty confident that he will get there. Jackson Ramsay (shin): With that shin he is coming along slowly but quite well, we are quite positive with how he is. We certainly won’t put any pressure on him to return to play any more this year. There is some chance that he will but it is more than likely that he won’t. We’re looking forwards next year for him. It has been a pretty tough year for him, really, it’s quite sad as he started so well.
