Brown Should Be OK

Collingwood's doctors expect popular DreamTeam defender Nathan Brown to be fit to play Sydney in the latter-half of the split round despite jarring his knee on Monday.

Brown had scans on his knee after injuring it in Monday's win over Melbourne, and the results were positive revealing no structural damage.

The Magpies defender has played every game this season for the Pies and has many DT admirers with around 18,000 DT coaches enjoying his services at the reasonable price of $155k.

Collingwood revealed they expect Brown to be okay to take on the Swans on June 20, although they weren't 100 percent confident.

"Our docs are fairly confident that with the week off he should be right for selection for the Swans game,” Collingwood football manager Geoff Walsh said.

In more injury news for the Magpies, young midfielder John McCarthy injured his hamstring on the weekend in the VFL and will be out of action for several weeks.

“It’s only a slight strain but it’s certainly bad enough to keep him out for probably a couple of weeks,” Walsh said.
