AFL 2025; Collingwood's Jordan De Goey suffers concussion at training
The impending return of defensive bull Brayden Maynard for Collingwood's Friday night showdown with Carlton was offset by a 'sad' concussion injury for Jordan De Goey, further setting back his return from injury. As he stepped up his rehab of an achilles injury, De Goey copped an accidental head knock early in a Tuesday morning training session, forcing him off the track, and he was subsequently put in to concussion protocols. Magpies coach Craig McRae labelled it a 'sad' setback for De Goey, who has only played 18 games since the Magpies' premiership triumph in 2023. He battled groin and abdominal injuries in 2024 before more injury disruptions this season. 'Jordy got a concussion in the fundamentals … it's a bit of a sad one for Jordy, he was just starting to get there,' McRae said. 'He's obviously going to be in the protocols for the next 10 to 14 days.' Jordan De Goey has suffered a concussion at training. Picture:But while De Goey's return has been delayed, McRae said Maynard was ready to return against the Blues after a longer than expected lay-off due to a plantar fascia injury that had sidelined him for the past five weeks. Veteran Steele Sidebottom has 'man flu' and could miss the Carlton clash, while Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill remains a week-by-week prospect after being a late withdrawal from last Saturday night's win over West Coast for personal reasons. 'It was great to see Bobby back today … we haven't seen him around for a few days, and he's trained really well. We're excited to have him back,' McRae said. 'He's a day-to-day thing at the moment … we're not sure if he'll be available this week, but it's really great to see him back in the club.' Brownlow medallist Tom Mitchell could also make his season debut having played seven consecutive games in the VFL.

Brayden Maynard commits to Collingwood through 2030, turns down North Melbourne
Collingwood vice-captain Brayden Maynard has shunned North Melbourne to sign a four-year extension with the 2023 premiers. The gun defender, who could have received a richer deal with the Roos, will remain a Magpie until the end of 2029, when he will be 33 years old. Despite dealing with an ongoing foot injury, the 28-year-old has been a strong driver of the Pies' 2025 success with their suffocating defence. The South Australian was drafted at pick 30 by Collingwood in 2014 and has served as the team's vice-captain since 2023. He was named in the All-Australian team in 2022. His recommitment comes as club legend Scott Pendlebury expressed his desire to play on next year. The 37-year-old is still without a contract for 2026 but wants to continue his career at Collingwood. 'All I can say is I'm loving my footy. I'm a super competitive person and I enjoy going into the club every day—I have so much fun,' he told SEN. 'While we're still contending and I'm playing a role that the club really values, then I'd love to continue playing footy. But that's a conversation we'll have as a club and be nice and mature about it.' Pendlebury, who has played the third-most games in VFL/AFL history with 414 appearances, would draw plenty of interest from rival clubs if Collingwood does not offer him a one-year deal.
