Magpies lose key forward

-

COLLINGWOO­D have been dealt a huge injury blow with star forward Jordan

De Goey ruled out of tomorrow’s AFL blockbuste­r clash with Richmond.

Magpies coach Nathan Buckley says De Goey has developed bone stress in his lower leg and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.

The 22-year-old pulled up sore after copping a knock during last week’s win against North Melbourne.

“We’re told it will be two weeks before we can get him back and have a look at where that has settled (but) he should be right to complete the season as it stands,” coach Nathan Buckley said.

De Goey, who this month signed a lucrative two-year contract extension, is tipped to earn All-Australian selection for the first time.
