The Barometer: Round 20 News Corp Australia COLLINGWOOD INJURIES Paul Seedsman (adductor) TBC Alan Toovey (back) test Dane Swan (foot) 1-2 weeks Nathan Freeman (hamstring) 2 weeks Nathan Brown (shoulder) season Ben Hudson (shoulder) season Adam Oxley (ankle) season ON THE BLOCK: Kyle Martin was subbed on extremely late into the game but failed to accumulate a statistic. He’s a quality player, but sits right on the selection edge at the moment. Jesse White finished goalless for the fifth time in his past six matches. ON THE CUSP: The news gets better for the Pies, with Dane Swan running well at training last week and Alan Toovey a big chance to return this week. In the VFL, Luke Ball producing an outstanding game to inspire his team to victory over Box Hill. If fit, he’s straight back in for Round 20. Ben Kennedy was the other to impress with two crucial goals, while Clinton Young and Brodie Grundy also made valuable contributions. BEN WATERWORTH’S FORECAST: Anyone hear that big gush of win around 7.15pm on Sunday night? No it wasn’t another Melbourne cold front. It was a collective sigh of relief exhaled by the hundreds of thousands of Collingwood supporters following their team’s crucial win over Port Adelaide. If they had lost to the Power, the Pies’ chances of seeing September action were in tatters. Against the odds, the win was full of courage, while the form of Steele Sidebottom and Dayne Beams was encouraging. The massive Sunday twilight clashes don’t stop there though, with West Coast awaiting Collingwood at Subiaco Oval. Anyone’s game. Collingwood might want it that little bit more.
