ON THE BLOCK: Jarryd Blair booted two first-quarter goals but did little else outside of giving away a costly free kick that led to Steve Johnson's matchwinner. James Aish didn't have his best game and managed only 15 disposals but the Magpies should persist as he acclimatises to the pace of AFL again. Henry Schade had a shocker, conceding four goals against Jeremy Cameron in just over a quarter of footy.

ON THE CUSP: The Magpies will be sweating on Adam Treloar's ankle, hoping he's good to go against the Hawks. Mason Cox booted four goals in the VFL, while Matt Scharenberg was named in the best again and is surely close to getting his opportunity at senior level. Tom Langdon finally played his first game in more than a year but will need more time in the VFL before being considered. Chris Mayne was the travelling emergency and could force his way in given the forward line continues to be an area of concern.

KATE SALEMME'S FORECAST: Nathan Buckley must be pulling his hair out given his side continues to find ways to lose after failing to ice the game against the Giants on Saturday. The task doesn't get any easier, facing the Hawks on Saturday night, a team Collingwood hasn't beaten under Buckley and who have found form in the last two weeks. The Magpies are better than their 2-6 win-loss ratio but bad kicking is bad football and while the players continue to make skill errors both in general play and in front of goal, the wins won't come. Simply must beat Hawthorn and then Brisbane the week after at the MCG.
