ON THE BLOCK: Taylor Adams copped a couple of heavy knocks against the Cats and was momentarily struggling to see, but came back on. He had blurred vision post-game, however, and will need to be monitored. Josh Daicos deserves another game after a nine-tackle debut and some nice moments. ON THE CUSP: Brodie Grundy will return from suspension and Jackson Ramsay will come into consideration. But the injury-plagued season of Daniel Wells appears all but over, with Buckley saying he was unlikely to play the final game of the year. The coach did say plenty of nice things about VFL sharpshooter Kayle Kirby, but was a long way off declaring his AFL debut imminent. SAM EDMUND’S FORECAST: Blimey, how do you assess this season for Collingwood? Obviously on the whole it’s been another disappointing one given another September in the finals wilderness awaits and another slump down the ladder under Buckley. But there’s been signs of life in recent weeks and despite being outplayed by Geelong for large periods, they hung tough and maybe could have pinched it. Buckley has been coaching for his life. Whether that coaching career flatlines or lives, we’re about to find out. |
