ON THE BLOCK: More bad news for the Magpies on the injury front with Jamie Elliott and Daniel Wells going down in the win over Fremantle. Those two outs probably give Ben Crocker some breathing space after a quiet return to AFL ranks. Likewise, Jackson Ramsay failed to have much of an impact. ON THE CUSP: With forwards Wells and Elliott out, Magpies fans can expect to see draftee Kayle Kirby's name a lot before Thursday night selection. The No.50 pick in last year's draft kicked six goals in Collingwood's VFL win over Sandringham. Fellow draftee and father-son gun Callum Brown was named an emergency for the trip to Perth and must be a strong chance to make his AFL debut. Former Docker Chris Mayne would also be a chance to return. BEN HIGGINS' FORECAST: That's three wins on the trot now for Nathan Buckley's men and a Queen's Birthday clash against Melbourne looms as a crucial clash before the bye. Beat the Demons and the Pies could very well be in the top eight - depending on percentage. Darcy Moore's move into the ruck was a stroke of genius from Buckley and if Max Gawn returns from injury, Brodie Grundy will need all the help he can get. |
