MAGPIE RADIO > Listen to fans' match preview show Pie NightCollingwood has named an unchanged team for the big round 15 clash with Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.
Vice-captain Josh Fraser will again miss for the Magpies, whose impressive 29-point victory in Sydney last weekend moved the club to eight wins and six losses and to fifth on the ladder.
Fraser is still recovering from a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee which has kept him out since round 12.
Adelaide, meanwhile, is also sitting on eight wins and in sixth place, meaning the ramifications are huge, with the winner staying within reach of the top four, while the loser will slip back to the pack of teams battling it out to stay in the eight.
The Magpie emergencies for the match are midfielder Danny Stanley, who was the club’s best in the VFL last Sunday, Sharrod Wellingham, who was a late withdrawal from the senior team in Sydney with a groin injury but has recovered, and defender/midfielder Alan Toovey.
