Former Western Bulldogs and Richmond coach Terry Wallace has suggested Collingwood will make the the top eight this season.
The Pies sit 14th with a 1-2 record, but Wallace professes that if the Pies recent injury fortunes turnaround, their friendly fixture could put them into finals calculations.
โI know Iโm sitting on the fence here, but I would have one of the Western Bulldogs, Collingwood or Geelong filling the eighth spot,โ Wallace toldย SEN Afternoons.
โOnly one of the three and I will go Collingwood.
โI think if they can stop getting hamstring injuries, they could still get around that mark.
โI do say that (the Pies) have a very, very kind draw.โ
Wallace predicted that Collingwood would finish 10th before the season, but now has them narrowly ahead of the similarly placed Geelong.
โGeelong Iโm worried about, I had them at five (in the pre-season), obviously theyโre fairly banged up at the moment,โ the former Bulldogs coach said.
โIโm very worried about the Cats.โ
