Pies Pair Injured

Collingwood forward duo Sean Rusling and Brent Macaffer were injured in the reserves on the weekend against Werribee and are awaiting results of scans.

Rusling, making his comeback from a fractured cheekbone, injured his thigh, while Macaffer went down with a knee injury.

Collingwood footy manager Geoff Walsh said about $184k forward Rusling, “It’s in his hip, thigh or buttock, somewhere in that region. We’ll get a scan just to verify what the actual cause of the problem is."

Walsh also spoke about $125k forward Macaffer saying, "We don’t think there’s any major structural damage, but his knee’s swollen a little bit, so we’ll see what the scan shows."

Good news out of the match, was forward Paul Medhurst got through the game and is a chance for next weekend's AFL match against Sydney, while veteran Anthony Rocca also played.
