Collingwood star's ‘sad' setback
As he stepped up his rehab of an achilles injury, De Goey copped an accidental head knock early in a Tuesday morning training session forcing him off the track and he was subsequently put in to concussion protocols.
Magpies coach Craig McRae labelled if a 'sad' setback for De Goey who has only played only 18 games since the Magpies' premiership triumph in 2023 after battling groin and abdominal injuries in 2024 before more injury disruptions this season.
'Jordy got a concussion in the fundamentals … it's a bit of a sad one for Jordy, he was just starting to get there,' McRae said.
'He's obviously going to be in the protocols for the next 10 to 14 days.'
But while De Goey's return has been delayed, McRae said Maynard was ready to return against the Blues after a longer than expected lay-off due to a plantar fascia injury which had sidelines him for the past five weeks.
Veteran Steele Sidebottom has 'man flu' and could miss the Carlton clash while Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill remains a week by week prospect after being a late withdrawal from last Saturday night's win over West Coast for personal reasons.
'It was great to see Bobby back today … we haven't seen him around for a few days, and he's trained really well. We're excited to have him back,' McRae said.
'He's a day-to-day thing at the moment … we're not sure if he'll be available this week, but it's really great to see him back in the club.'
Brownlow medallist Tom Mitchell could also make his season debut having played seven consecutive games in the VFL.

'Going to tear it apart': More to come from young Pie
An eye-catching debut in long sleeves, with a cult following cheering her every move, was just the beginning for Ash Centra. That's the belief of Collingwood coach Sam Wright after the Magpies' No.1 draft pick played her hotly-anticipated first AFLW game in the season opener. Centra, on limited minutes after a pre-season hip complaint, started on the bench, but was cheered when she ran onto the field - and the applause seemingly never stopped. The 19-year-old only had three disposals but clunked a huge contested mark and snagged a goal with her first kick in Thursday night's 6.9 (45) to 3.3 (21) loss to Carlton at Princes Park. WHAT A MOMENT 🌟Number one pick Ash Centra joins the first kick, first goal club after taking a brilliant contested mark to go with it! — Collingwood AFLW (@CollingwoodAFLW) August 14, 2025 "She's got like a cult following," Wright said. "Every time she went near the ball, whether she got it or not, you could hear the crowd get up and about. "I just think it's so great for our game. "I mean, the long sleeves, you know, you could see her coming from a mile away, because you could hear the crowd building. "So I was really happy for her that she she kicked that goal, but she's going to be a serious player." Centra, who was a star junior, played just 61 per cent game time, predominantly up forward. Wright, who admitted he'd have loved to have been able to throw Centra into the midfield, expected her to need at least a couple more weeks before she could play full minutes. He stressed the No.1 pick, who was among five debutants, was treated like any other player and wouldn't have felt any pressure at Collingwood. "I reckon she might have enjoyed it tonight when the crowd was up and about, because she probably doesn't get that behind closed doors," he said. "But we're just going to continue to see her build. "There's no doubt when she's unleashed on full minutes and she starts going into the midfield, she's going to tear it apart." The Magpies hope to regain Irish star Sarah Rowe from a shoulder injury while Kellyann Hogan (shoulder) will require scans after she was injured against the Blues. Collingwood host GWS at Victoria Park next Saturday. The surface had been patchy recently but Wright is confident the Magpies' home ground will be up to standard. "No, I'm comfortable," he said. "I'm comfortable with the procedures that the AFL go through, too. "So if it's not right to play on, then they'll let us know, but no indication of that."
