ON THE BLOCK: Chris Mayne is only three games into his long-term Collingwood contract, but he is under pressure to keep his spot. He didn't kick a goal last Friday night and his impact was marginal. Needs to lift as a host of Magpies prepare to return in coming weeks. ON THE CUSP: Pencil Jamie Elliott as a certain starter for next Sunday's clash with St Kilda. He kicked five goals in a VFL game on Saturday, which means he is set to play his first AFL game since the final round of 2015. Daniel Wells will likely play in the VFL next week ahead of a possible AFL inclusion in Round 5. Jordan De Goey will also play VFL after returning from his much talked about broken hand. He can't play AFL for another three weeks. GLENN McFARLANE'S FORECAST: There was a lot to like about Collingwood's one-point win over Sydney, but the Magpies need to keep raising the bar. The energy and enthusiasm was good; the effort extraordinary and the execution solid. It brought a big smile to Nathan Buckley's face. The midfield is firing offensively and defensively. Brodie Grundy is in rare form. They still need to get better bang for their buck when going forward, but Elliott could help with this. Incredible tackle numbers last week. Expect a similar pattern this week. |
