GREATER Western Sydney and Collingwood have both lost key players ahead of their clash at the MCG on Easter Saturday, with Giant Toby Greene and Magpie Ben Reid both late withdrawals.
Greene was ruled out with hamstring soreness and has been replaced in the GWS team by key defender Aidan Corr, while Reid will miss with a hip injury and has replaced by Tim Broomhead.
Small forward Greene is one of the Giants' best players and his fierce attack on the ball will be sorely missed in the visitors' attack.
Reid's absence comes at the worst possible time for the Magpies given fellow tall forward Mason Cox is also sidelined through suspension.
The Magpies look extremely light on for marking targets in attack, with ruckman Brodie Grundy now a chance to spend more time forward.
