The pieces are starting to fall into place for Collingwood.
Two of the club’s injured stars are closing in on returns and another is getting back to his best.
Plus, there’s good news for Jordan De Goey.
Here’s all the latest intel from the Holden Centre.

DE GOEY DOING WELL
All eyes at Olympic Park continue to be on Jordan De Goey, who appears to have slotted back into Collingwood training seamlessly.De Goey was invited back into the fold in late January after being stood down for almost three months following assault charges after an incident at a New York party on Halloween.
Collingwood lifted its ban on its star player after receiving a written agreement that the 25-year-old would plead guilty to a lesser second-degree harassment violation.
There was no Halloween costume at training on Friday morning, but De Goey looked fit and capable of putting a scare through some opposition sides again this season.
He spent time training primarily with the midfield group, as well as a little time with the forwards.
The Magpies have asked De Goey to be “all in” and he appears to be exactly that in his first weeks back under new coach Craig McRae.
MOORE MOVING
Collingwood’s woes last season went from bad to worse after key defender Darcy Moore went down with a season-ending knee injury against Melbourne in Round 13.But the 2020 All-Australian is back fit and firing.
Moore has resumed full training and is again set to be a key pillar in defence for the Magpies this season, with McRae planning not to flirt with form and swing him forward as he has done on occasion in recent years.
Fellow key defender Jordan Roughead did some sprint work away from the main group for the duration of Friday’s training session, but the move was to do some “de-loading” as opposed to any injury issues.

PENDLES PREPARATION RAMPING UP
Moore aside, Collingwood’s only other injury concern has been captain Scott Pendlebury, who has been recovering from a fracture he suffered in his left leg in December.The 34-year-old remains on a slightly modified training program that is reducing the amount of running he completes to try and limit any further issues.
However, Pendlebury flew through agility drills with no problems on Friday and should be cherry ripe again in coming weeks.
Pendlebury trained with both the defenders and midfielders during Friday’s track run as he prepares for a new role this season which will see him spend more time across halfback.

MORE KEYS IN ATTACK
Brody Mihocek played a lone hand as a tall option in attack at stages last season but looks set to have some added help this year.The Pies secured Nathan Kreuger from Geelong during the trade period last year, who was played as a defender at the Cats.
However, the 196cm tall has been training exclusively with the forward group and shapes as a mobile and agile big man who can provide a chop-out for Mihocek.
Expect Will Kelly to also enjoy some more game time as a mid-sized forward this season, having played just three games across the past two years due to a wretched run with injury.
Former Western Bulldogs talent Patrick Lipinski is also training with the new-look group of Collingwood forwards.

TRIMMED GRUNDY
Star ruckman Brodie Grundy has trimmed off his man bun and has also trimmed off some kilos as he looks to get back to his “vintage” best this season.Grundy has been a standout on the track over summer and looks to be moving as well as ever, to the delight of the Magpies after he had had a lesser impact over the past two years by his lofty standards.
Grundy was an All-Australian and Collingwood best-and-fairest in both 2018 and 2019, but finished sixth in the Magpies’ best and fairest last season and missed out on the All-Australian squad.

Not many footy folk would know Ryan Vague, but you had to like how he went into bat this week for his client, Jordan De Goey.
That’s what player managers do, although it was hardly trial by media for De Goey — as Vague claimed — after New York coppers laid some pretty savage charges against the Collingwood forward after a raucous, vodka-swilling night in dressing gowns on Halloween.
The media backed off when the most serious of those charges was dropped. But even then it’s hardly a story to be spiked.
Vague, who is a recent addition to the De Goey camp, spoke superbly on SEN — until he didn’t.
When Vague said De Goey could be the best player in the competition it reminded me of when my uncle Pat used to put his left hand in the air and wave it, drawing your attention, before clipping you across your head with a surprise right-hand slap.
Like, look over here, a distraction to reality.
De Goey, who is 26 in March, is and has been a lot of things.
He’s a drinker, a fighter and a drink driver. He’s been untruthful, he’s faced real and unreal police charges and he’s said sorry countless times — and been forgiven for all of it.
Up until this point in his adult life, he has found trouble on a lot of corners.
He’s either desperately unlucky or his radar for trouble flickers between naivety and stupidity.
Jordan De Goey has shown flashes of brilliance throughout an inconsistent career.
On the field, he’s been spasmodically brilliant, which is hardly worthy of being considered the best in the game.
No, the best player in the competition wins Norm Smith medals, wins big finals for his team, plays consistently throughout the season, prepares in the off-season and doesn’t come back with too much summer excess around the bum and guts.
The best player in the competition is a role model and leader for teammates and doesn’t talk about responsibilities and maturity and then spit in everyone’s faces.
Dustin Martin had some challenges early in his career and on that front De Goey can find comparisons.
But to say he could be the No.1 player in the competition, which in Martin’s case was being named best afield in 10 of 12 finals, including winning three Norm Smith medals, is an insult to the very essence of performance from the best players in the game.
Jordan De Goey clashes with Dustin Martin during the 2020 season but is a long way off reaching the superstar standards set by the Tiger Brownlow Medallist.
De Goey couldn’t carry Dusty’s bag. Nor Buddy’s. Nor the Bont’s. Nor the bags of the father, son and Holy Ghost at Melbourne — Gawn, Oliver and Petracca.
Those players have earned their stripes, while De Goey is still playing on potential eight seasons into his AFL career.
It was a cop out comment from Vague. A bit of hand-waving.
De Goey doesn’t need to hear or be told that. He just needs knuckle down.
He’s 26 and it could be over by 32, and what has he really achieved to date?
That’s not to say he can’t be a dominant player, but the time’s come for action and delivery and not half-assed promises and potential.
The decision by Collingwood to reinstate him was not a surprise, although another major misstep would mean Collingwood’s next decision won’t surprise anyone.
The Pies had to keep him. They couldn’t trade him even if they wanted to because the trade period had come and gone and, let’s be honest, he can play the game.
If he had half his talent, he would’ve been cactus two or three years ago.
To say he owes Collingwood is a gross understatement.
He also owes the new coach, Craig McRae. And his teammates.
They’ve been busting a gut for three months in a period where standards are set and pre-season pain is shared and conquered. It’s called building camaraderie.
He has to earn their faith, and be humble, and be diligent, and not muck up.
Jordan De Goey speaks with new Magpies coach Craig McRae at training in January.
Because it wasn’t simply a talent call by Collingwood to bring De Goey back, it was a cultural risk assessment and McRae has his fingers crossed his player won’t jeopardise nor compromise the culture he is building.
One thing people say of McRae is he doesn’t suffer fools.
De Goey is not big on media interviews, nor is the club at granting access, but those who know him well say he is a little naive, a reasonably good bloke and a man who goes with the flow.
But this most recent incident — and the club’s response which some say was too pointed and judgmental — has him walking on egg shells.
If he does venture out socially, he will be baited by the peanut gallery and he needs to ignore it, and a speeding ticket will probably get him front-page coverage.
For his sake, let’s hope his headlines are footy-related.
EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON DE GOEY
We asked several football experts two questions:1. What position would you play Jordan De Goey?
2. Do you think he should be on his last chance at Collingwood?
Here are their answers:
Grant Thomas
Former St Kilda coach1. Midfield/Forward
2. No. The Pies made the wrong call not supporting him, as has been proven. People don’t fail, organisations fail.
Jordan Lewis
Fox Footy commentator1. I would play him permanent forward and as much as you can make him the deepest forward so he can be isolated with his opponent.
2. There is no doubt he would be on his last chance at Collingwood. And so he should be.
Dane Swan
Former teammate1. Seventy per cent mid and 30 per cent forward. They need to get the ball inside 50 more and they can’t do it with their best player sitting in the goalsquare. One of the few players we have that can break a game open and you would think with a more offensive game plan he will be able to play his natural game and not worry about having too much of a defensive mindset.
2. Unfortunately I think the media have decided this is his last chance. The media I think dictate far too much what goes on at clubs and their decision making with so much external pressure they put on. But obviously he is much closer to his last chance than his first and another alcohol-fuelled f*** up and it’s gonna be hard to defend him. But it shouldn’t be a hard and fast rule of “one more thing and you’re out”.
So the short answer is: Do I think it should be his last chance? It depends on what it is.
Jordan De Goey and Dane Swan go head-to-head in an intra-club in 2016. Picture: Nigel Hallett
Dermott Brereton
Fox Footy commentator1. Play as a clearance midfielder that pushes forward two to three times a half.
I’m not convinced that he is an endurance beast.
2. No, because every action and/or so-called indiscretion should be treated on its merits. (Otherwise there will be a long line of people wanting their 15 minutes of fame as the person that goaded Jordan into dismissal).
Mick Malthouse
Coaching great/Sunday Herald Sun columnist1. He is perfectly made for a midfield role, similar to Dane Swan. Short five or six minute bursts and then bench/forward.
2. He is clearly no genius — but work with him, he will work out OK. He just needs to trust his coach. Treat him as an adult and he may surprise by being an adult.
Mick Malthouse wants to see De Goey as a full-time midfielder. Picture: Michael Klein
Matthew Lloyd
3AW commentator1. I don’t believe that Jordan has the running capacity to be a permanent midfielder, but he has the power, explosiveness and goal sense to play a Jake Stringer-type role, where he is involved in the centre-bounce stoppages and pushes hard forward and becomes a very difficult match up.
2. Yes, one more strike and there is no coming back for Jordan at Collingwood and potentially anywhere else. I just hope he doesn’t waste the unbelievable talent that he has been blessed with.
Jason Akermanis
Brisbane Lions champion1. Midfield to start then isolate him at full forward. He is strong and quick and would cause a lot of problems for opposition teams.
2. I am sure he won’t have any problems moving forward. While it would be his last chance, he will finish his career from here on out without any further issues.

That's the only real good thing about the article. Robbo is back writing negatively about a Collingwood player, so it must mean that the footy season is just about upon us!!!
Talentless yet passionate idiot showbag. How he got his gigs is beyond reason.
A pathetic drunk who only understands spite and hiding behind his media pass.

I’m thrilled that Slobbo is talking s**t about DeGoey and saying it’s impossible for him to be the best player in the comp. The bloke is so habitually wrong that I’m fully expecting Jordy to win a Charlie this year now. Might put a gorilla on it.

I loathe Robbo but the article wasn't off-the-money in my view.
Jordy's manager is out of his depth and is sorely lacking the experience and gravitas the job requires.
If JDG makes the news again I disagree with the "he's on his last chance" sentiment. It's a narrowminded view of the situation. Each case should be judged on its merits.
I hope he kills it this year, for his own benefit and the club's.

I actually enjoyed the comments in that article from the guys that really mattered (Swan, MM, Thomas and Aker). A former teammate, coaches that have dealt with similar situations and a former teammate of the current coach. The thrust of the article though was as captain obvious as a Jen pump up of Lipinski

Jordan De Goey also returned to the club to train recently after he pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment in a New York court for an incident in October. He did not record a conviction and the Magpies have been impressed with his attitude since he returned.

Magpies’ mystery camp forges connection under the stars
The players and staff had not been told where they were heading when they boarded a bus early Tuesday morning.
Narrow mindedness has nothing to do with the situation.
He's a proven liar.
He is a heavy drinker who can't handle his drink.
He gets involved in physical altercations.
This is all proven fact.
He is a loose canon and a poor example who needs to grow up and become a man - finally.

I'm pretty sure that it's boogie and not sunshine that is to blame here.
