"Dane Swan: Pies are on a high”
Rebecca Williams - Herald Sun
“COLLINGWOOD midfielder Dane Swan said yesterday the Magpies have a "truckload" of confidence going into Saturday night's blockbuster against Geelong.”
“No injury worries for Magpies”
Michael Gleeson - Herald Sun
“DESPITE a knee injury that left him sitting on the bench for the second half last week, Sharrod Wellingham trained yesterday to ensure Collingwood has a complete playing list to choose from for Saturday night's top-of-the-table blockbuster.”
“The inaccurate one”
Martin Blake - The Age
“IT IS enough to make you wince. Travis Cloke is a Copeland Trophy winner and anyone who watched him rip into Carlton last weekend can vouch that he is a serious player as a centre half-forward, a super athlete and one of the best contested marks in the business. But he is also an accident waiting to happen when it comes to kicking for goal.”
“Four points at stake but no real point to prove”
Jake Niall - The Age
“Collingwood forward Chris Dawes was on the money in his assessment of what was - or wasn't - at stake. ''I don't think heaps is on the line because, even if we were to drop this game, we would be a chance at finishing top two … it will be a nice edge to have over them, but it's not that big a game.''”
