With two more training sessions ahead of Monday’s contest, the Magpie match committee has named five possible inclusions on the interchange including Jaxson Barham, Chris Dawes, Tyson Goldsack, Tarkyn Lockyer and Shane O’Bree.??
Ball and Johnson have picked up minor injuries but the club is confident both players will be available after the extended break.
“Ball wasn’t able to get up with a groin complaint but he should be right for selection for the round 13 match,” chief of football Geoff Walsh told Collingwoodfc.com.au.
“With the club facing a weekend off (split round) after the game against Melbourne, we are hopeful both players will be ready to go.”??
Stay tuned to Collingwoodfc.com.au on Saturday afternoon to view the finalised side. ?
