Read what the major papers are writing about Collingwood on Wednesday 18 August
"Mick Malthouse may be Joshing"
Al Paton - Herald Sun
"COLLINGWOOD coach Mick Malthouse says he would "love" to see ruckman Josh Fraser get to 200 games."
"Slick Pie Dayne Beams can find a forward target"
Mark Stevens - Herald Sun
"Collingwood's Dayne Beams qualifies as the newest national draft mystery. Pick 29? You've got to be kidding. He was the steal of 2008."
"Magpie pride beats the pain"
Grant McArthur - Herald Sun
"The 11-year-old almost lost his leg when he was hit by a car last Monday, but the tough little fella was refusing to let ambulance officers cut through his beloved autographed Pies jumper to treat him at the scene."
"Depth of talent the reason these Pies are so hot"
Martin Blake - The Age
"THE Collingwood website is conducting a poll this week as part of a weekly series. Participants are required to nominate which Magpie would make the best prime minister."
"Finals Focus: Collingwood"
The Age
"The Magpies have arguably the thinnest injury list in the competition. Leon Davis (quad), Luke Ball (hip), Ben Reid (thigh), Tyson Goldsack (ankle) all missed last week, but none is seriously hurt, and the match committee will have the bitter-sweet task of squeezing some or all of them in over the next few weeks."
