ON THE BLOCK: Big man Mason Cox (8 disposals, 21 hitouts) struggled to have an impact against the Western Bulldogs in a tall forward line. Travis Varcoe has been banned for one week for a high bump on Luke Dahlhaus. ON THE CUSP: Small forward Jamie Elliott has been ruled out again but James Aish (virus) appears set to return. Tim Broomhead is also in the mix to replace Varcoe and recruit Lynden Dunn was a shining light in defence in Collingwood's VFL practice match against Geelong on Friday after being named as an emergency for the AFL side. CHRIS CAVANAGH'S FORECAST: The Magpies were impressive for most of their opening match against the Western Bulldogs, a third quarter lapse which saw the reigning premiers kick five unanswered goals the main downside. Collingwood's midfield was dominant and generated 62 inside 50s but Nathan Buckley might have to do some tweaking with his forward line and the ball use in the forward half after Darcy Moore, Travis Varcoe, Mason Cox and Jarryd Blair all went goalless and Chris Mayne and Jesse White each managed only one major. |
