I'm worried about the health of Elliott.
We are told he has a vascular problem, which is rather vague, and there is no indication of when he may be fit to play again. When asked about him in his presser, Fly was unable to provide any more clarity on Elliott's health.

It is concerning considering his history of back issues. Time to ask Schultz to step into that role.

Did Jordy come up ok? I thought someone mentioned concussion protocols after that mark where he landed on is back

Swoop Luke posted he had been cleared of any delayed concussion on Facebook.

I've heard McStay will be right to resume after the bye.

Injury update is out and it's not great reading.

Titch out until Rd 13-16
JDG with groin "awareness"

Collingwood wishes to advise a Club Injury and Health update ahead of the Club’s Round 11 match against Walyalup (Fremantle).

TO BE ASSESSED THIS WEEK:

Beau McCreery will be assessed ahead of Friday night’s match having worked his way through the concussion protocols.

Thank you Mr Laurie Holden.

I assume that De Goey will play- might be playing out of the goal square again this week.

Looks like Howe, Elliott, Mitchell and Hoskin-Elliott will be available around King's Birthday.

With Begg on the 'Inactive List' I think we will have at least one pick in the Mid-season draft, perhaps two if McStay is out for the year. Begg should have any surgery needed done straight away so he is right for day one of pre-season. A solid time in the gym is required for him and Steene to be physically right for 2025.

I think a lot will be expected of Eyre post his return- he will need to show his wares at VFL level as a key back.

[Pies2016]

Looks as though we’re going to be treading water with our injuries until the bye round. We have games against the Dockers, Dogs, Dees ( without Lever ) and Kangas before the bye round. Realistically, three out of four wins would be a great result but we’re going to need two wins as a minimum in the coming month.

[The Black and White Lion]

The AFL website has JDG out with groin awareness. I'm gutted. We needed him against the Crows, without a doubt.

With WHE and McInnes going down, we'' be desperate for Beau and Checkers to come back. Just hope JDG's setback is not longer term now and the same for Checkers, we don't want him coming back early and redoing the hamstring.

Have no idea what we'd do with a forward line including Krueger and Johnson. Did you see any of the Eagles smashing the Dees. So much space on the Optus ground to do so much damage, and quickly.

Sad news for Begg

[RudeBoy]

Surely we can't risk JDG or Checkers (if there's any doubt on his fitness) at this stage of the season. We'll need them firing come September. Better to risk losing a game now than to risk longer term injuries to such crucial players.

[David]

Thanks Laurie! It certainly makes for difficult reading.

So we're looking at these availabilities:
Round 11 vs Fremantle: Mihocek, McCreery, De Goey (all maybes)
Round 12 vs Western Bulldogs: all of the above + McInnes, Bytel (both likely), Howe, Carmichael (maybes)
Round 13 vs Melbourne: all of the above + Hoskin-Elliott (likely), Eyre (maybe), Mitchell, Elliott (more long shots)

If we can have all of Mihocek, McCreery, De Goey, Howe and Hoskin-Elliott back on the park by King's Birthday and Mitchell and Elliott either available or not too far off, then things will be looking a bit less dire. Let's just hope there are no setbacks or further injuries in the meantime.

JDG ruled out for Friday - Craig McCrae

[David]

Apparently Jiath limped off at training, too. At this stage we might be close to having no listed players in the VFL this weekend!

'... Craig McRae believes the mounting injury toll across the competition is sending the AFL a message about the length of games.
The reigning premiership coach said the Pies would only have 29 players to choose from for Friday night's clash with Fremantle...
... with McRae revealing that his club's in-house data had 153 players across the competition missing last week's round because of injury.
...McRae said he felt players were "living on the edge" from a physical standpoint...'
