COLLINGWOOD
With injury clouds lingering over Darren Jolly (groin) and Ben Reid (groin/hamstring), there are plenty of selection scenarios that have been thrown up for the Magpies this weekend. If Jolly doesn't get up, Cameron Wood will come in despite not playing since round 24, while Tyson Goldsack seems the logical replacement for Reid if he fails to prove his fitness. Nick Maxwell has tender ribs and is still carrying his patched up thumb and Ben Johnson has a sore calf but both are expected to play. Alan Didak's lack of recebt game time and Dayne Beams' quiet game against Hawthorn, which resulted in him being subbed out at three-quarter time for Didak, has raised suggestions Alex Fasolo should come in as a replacement for either one.

The Cats will probably go into the Grand Final with an unchanged side if Steve Johnson manages to prove his fitness. If he doesn't, veterans Cameron Mooney, Darren Milburn and Shannon Byrnes are waiting in the wings. Byrnes shapes as the most likely replacement for Johnson at this stage.
