Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury fears he’s broken his leg after being subbed out of the side’s loss to Port Adelaide on Friday night.
Pendlebury limped off Marvel Stadium in the second quarter of the game, with the Pies later confirming he had suffered a suspected lower leg injury.
But speaking to
ABC Radio post-match, the 33-year-old said he was worried he may have sustained a more serious setback.
“I’ve broken my leg before and it’s a little bit similar to the pain I experienced with that,” he said.

I’ve decided that it’s too risky to make predictions only about the margin of victory for a particular team, possibly the most veiled of all outcomes to forecast.
So in the interest of increasing my odds of success for each game, I will also be presenting ‘safe predictions’ for the games as well.
Mind you, the forecasts we’ve been making have been fairly safe already. With seven more correct last weekend we’ve now picked 47 winners out of 72 for the year, and the ELO-Following Football rating system is a more impressive 51 of 72 on its own after I made some rather unsafe overrides of the system early in the season.

Western Bulldogs v Richmond
Friday night - MCG
It’s a battle of contrasting styles when the table-topping Western Bulldogs take on reigning premiers Richmond in a tantalising Friday night clash.
The Bulldogs under coach Luke Beveridge play a high possession game that is underpinned by handball chains and direct ball use – the Dogs are ranked No.1 in the competition for handballs, disposals and clearances.
