Fraser Out For 2-3

Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse has confirmed $341k ruckman Josh Fraser needs knee surgery and will miss at least a fortnight of AFL footy.

Fraser, who is owned by almost 30,000 DT coaches, is the latest ruckman to go down causing DTers plenty of trouble.

It's also a problem for the Magpies who face fellow top 8 teams Carlton, Brisbane and Adelaide in the next 3 weeks.

Malthouse said on Thursday, “Josh will go in and have a little op, probably today.

“It will probably see him miss two or three weeks, hopefully only two.

“We don’t expect it to be major. It’s the remnants, if you like, of an injury that took place two years ago.”
