Ned Long has come into the Collingwood senior side at an interesting time, with an injury toll mounting by the match including two to first-choice talls last week. He is listed at 194cm and is the only player named in the Magpies front six above 190 for the game against teh Cats, albeit Frampton and Kreuger lurk on the bench and can both play key position in attack. With Craig McRae also choosing to omit Charlie Dean, the Pies go into this game with Long almost required to play as a target forward, a role which does not fit his roaming playstyle. How will the ex-Hawk respond?
