Collingwood has ruled vice-captain Taylor Adams out of the grand final after he left the training track early on Tuesday with hamstring tightness.
Adams only lasted 30 minutes during the open session at Olympic Park, heading indoors and speaking to fitness staff after taking a shot at goal.
Magpies football boss Graham Wright said the 30-year-old had “left no stone unturned” trying to make it back in time for Saturday, but the Pies could not roll the dice on him after the setback.
