AFL 2025: Collingwood will be without two experienced defenders for a fortnight
The defensive stocks of premiership favourite Collingwood have been dealt a blow after Jeremy Howe and Dan Houston were both sidelined through injury ahead of Friday's showdown with finals contender Fremantle. The Magpies are also unable to pinpoint a return date for destructive but injury hindered star Jordan De Goey. Howe suffered an adductor strain during Collingwood's loss to Gold Coast while following scans also revealed an abdominal concern for Houston. Both Howe and Houston, who have been key parts of the competition's leading defence, will miss the next fortnight. The loss of Houston means Josh Daicos is unlikely to run through the midfield where he produced one of the more impressive final quarters against the Suns. De Goey has returned to training from his concussion but will need to complete a minimum two week fitness block. Collingwood head of performance Jarrod Wade said De Goey's next fortnight would determine his timeline to return. 'Jordan De Goey will shortly complete his progression through concussion protocols and is set to commence a two-week training block,' Wade said. 'A return to play timeline will be determined once the training block is complete.' Norm Smith Medal winner Bobby Hill is also set to miss a fourth straight game as he deals with personal reasons and illness. 'Bobby Hill has missed the side's last three matches due to personal reasons and was unable to train last week due to illness,' Wade said. 'Hill returned to training over the weekend. His focus is on resuming full training before a timeline is placed on his return. 'The club continues to support Hill throughout this period.'

The former Port Adelaide superboot had scans after playing the Suns, with results ruling him out of facing the Dockers and Richmond. Hill will sit out a fourth straight match after dealing with personal reasons, and battling with illness last week. "Hill returned to training over the weekend," Collingwood high performance boss Jarrod Wade said. "His focus is on resuming full training before a timeline is placed on his return." Along with Houston, veteran Jeremy Howe will leave another hole in Collingwood's defence after suffering an adductor strain against Gold Coast, ruling him out for two weeks. But in better news for the Magpies, forward Beau McCreery is set to return against Fremantle after recovering from a hamstring that led him to miss the past three matches. Premiership star Jordan De Goey is due to come out of concussion protocols in coming days after copping a hit at training. But De Goey will be put through a two-week training block before being considered to play. The 29-year-old has been restricted to five games this season, the last coming in round eight against Geelong. Collingwood being without a number of key players will not worry them. In round nine, the Magpies travelled to Perth undermanned and managed to secure a 14-point win against Fremantle at Perth Stadium. AAP

Dan Houston, Jeremy Howe and Bobby Hill all set to miss Collingwood's clash with Fremantle
Collingwood have lost two important pieces of their defensive set-up for Sunday's crunch clash against Fremantle, with Dan Houston joining Jeremy Howe on the sidelines. It comes as the Magpies confirmed 2023 Norm Smith Medal winner Bobby Hill would miss a fourth-straight game, with the string of star absences set to fuel the Dockers' hopes of causing an MCG upset. Houston is expected to miss two games after pulling up sore from Collingwood's loss to Gold Coast last weekend, while Howe faces a similar timeline after being subbed out of that match folllowing an adductor strain. 'Dan Houston was able to complete the match against the Gold Coast Suns but scans early in the week revealed he has sustained a mild abdominal strain,' the Magpies released in a statement on Wednesday. The Pies will give fellow first-choice defender Billy Frampton another week to recover from his calf issue, meaning the ladder leaders will be without three of their best backmen as they look to overcome Freo. Hill has missed Collingwood's past three matches due to personal reasons, and while he returned to training last weekend, the club said his focus was 'on resuming full training before a timeline is placed on his return'. The Magpies are set to regain premiership trio Brody Mihocek, Beau McCreery and Pat Lipinski for Sunday's clash, where they will look to continue a strong recent record against Justin Longmuir's side. The Dockers haven't beaten Collingwood in their past five attempts dating back to 2022, with last year's thrilling draw at Optus Stadium the closest they've come. Longmuir said his side would embrace the challenge of battling the best in the business. 'There's no bigger challenge in footy than going to the MCG and taking on Collingwood,' he said. 'I understand that you've got to take on them as a team and they're the best team in the comp, but you also take on the occasion and the crowd. 'We've spoken about that, we're going to embrace that challenge. It's a good opportunity to see where our footy sits.'
