AFL: With Collingwood finding themselves outside the Top 8, are the Magpies following in the footsteps of the 2023 Cats who missed the Finals after winning the flag the year prior?
Collingwood has resisted pressure to bring Daniel McStay straight into its senior side , with the key forward to begin his rapid comeback from an ACL injury via the VFL.

New to Kayo?Magpies coach Craig McRae said the need to restrict McStay’s minutes in his first game back meant it was too difficult to use him against the Cats, but he did not rule out a call-up the following week against Hawthorn.
He credited Filopoulos with orchestrating McStay’s VFL return on Sunday only 225 days after he ruptured his ACL training at the same venue – Victoria Park. Collingwood is set to regain Jamie Elliott, but Jeremy Howe will miss the crucial Friday night clash against Geelong due to a tight hamstring.
