ON THE BLOCK: The Pies will chase three wins in a row for the second time this season when they host Adelaide at the MCG on Sunday - with a growing injury list. Already without skipper Scott Pendlebury after surgery to repair a broken finger, Collingwood will now be without Travis Varcoe. It's uncertain if the former Geelong utility will be ruled out for the season after dislocating an elbow and also suffering concussion.

ON THE CUSP: A two-point win in the VFL over Richmond is another positive for the Pies with Tom Phillips kicking three goals and in a best-afield performance. Mason Cox also played well.

LEO SCHLINK'S FORECAST: Collingwood will draw plenty of self belief out of its gritty win over West Coast but Adelaide is certain to provide an even sterner challenge than the fading Eagles did at Etihad. Another must-win game for the Pies as their finals' hopes hang in the balance ahead of clashes with North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Geelong and Melbourne.
