A number of players are in the frame for promotion to Collingwood's AFL team for Thursday night's blockbuster clash with Richmond.
Levi Greenwood
Played in both of the Pies' JLT Community Series matches, but was the carryover emergency for the AFL clash with Geelong in round one, meaning he didn't play at any level last weekend. Could come into contention if the Pies decide they need to clamp down on the Tigers' midfield or need more support in defence.
Flynn Appleby
Put his hand up by producing a typically dependable performance down back in the VFL practice match against the Cats last Friday.
Tyler Brown
Was an impressive contributor as an inside midfielder in the VFL Pies' loss to Geelong, further enhancing his chances of making his AFL debut in the near future after some eye-catching play during the JLT Community Series.
Ben Crocker
Played mainly on the wing in the VFL practice match against the Cats. Won plenty of the ball and also looked dangerous when pushing forward.
