AFL Daily: Collingwood premiership prediction, rolling footy news for Monday, July 29, 2019
Collingwood is cooked. That's the verdict of Mark Robinson, who says an injury to Jordan De Goey is the final straw for the Pies. Plus see his take on the Tigers, Demons and more.
Collingwood can't win the 2019 premiership.
That's the verdict of Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson, who says a hamstring injury to Jordan De Goey is the final straw for Nathan Buckley and the Magpies.
"They've got injuries, let's be honest, Collingwood can't win the flag this year," he says on this week's episode of Tackle TV.
"If they do, it will be their greatest, and pluckiest, premiership."
De Goey, Isaac Quaynor (foot) and Jordan Roughead (concussion) were added to the Magpies' already lengthy injury list on Friday night, after Taylor Adams pulled out before the game against Richmond with his own hamstring injuries.
Watch Tackle TV above for Robbo's take on the Pies, Richmond's selection dilemmas and why he isn't "wasting ink" writing about Melbourne.
