Fasolo in a moon boot after the game apparently with pain in the same foot that caused him to miss last season.

Hope for the best.

Young to have scans to make sure no fracture in leg.

Both players deserve a change of luck.

Should get a rising star nod after today's performance.

Not sure he's getting the recognition he deserves, but the glove fit another hand today. Watson, just 19 disposals. Not often he's kept that quiet. Well done Caff, again.

Given that the bald turd had to have a concussion check I dare say yes.

Young left the ground and got him high so he's in a bit of trouble IMO.

If Young did get him in the head, I haven't seen enough replays of it as yet, then either way he should miss a week for that and will possibly miss a week for his leg anyway.

This is one time where a suspension probably isn't going to matter.

Fasolo big toe injury. Decent news vs the fear of the foot. Luckily we have Marley, Dwyer and Adams to come back in.

in the pre game thread someone mentioned Macca should go on Heppell
for the first tagging role. he didn't have much of it in the first 3/4s but
could have been a different story in the last if they got a role on.
keep it in the vault for next time Pies for i though it was the only concern
in a brilliantly coached match.

Heppell had 19 disposals till half time and was allowed to much latitude all day.

i would love Heppell to be Macced out of the game but Watson would hurt us even more.
Beams takes the next best follower in this case Heppell and did more damage the pro Collingwood way. but saying that he's a dangerous player and needs to be stopped at all times.

Believe nothing when it comes to Collingwood and injuries.

So much to enjoy about this game!!!
Special mention to Langdon from me, really nice positive polished game for the young fella.

Wasn't a bump. Young was clearly attempting to get the ball. Shouldn't even get to the MRP.

Young was jumping at the ball and Chapman moved backwards. Free kick to Young would be my call if I was the umpire.

Yeah, I thought Heppell was an option but in the end didn't think any of the Bombers mids had significant impact over the 4 quarters so Watson was probably the right option with the full benefit if hindsight.

So, how 'bout the Frost bump on Heppell? Any head high contact there?

This one was definitely a bump, just a question of whether he got him high. Even if he did couldn't see him getting anything other than a reprimand due to lack of force.
