COLLINGWOOD look set to be bolstered by the return of skipper Scott Burns for Saturday night’s cut-throat semi-final against St Kilda at the MCG.
Burns has been sidelined for the past two matches with a calf strain but trained strongly at the team’s main training session on Wednesday at Gosch's Paddock.
Despite impressing at training, Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse refused to decalre Burns a certain starter.
"He is where we thought he would be so we will now weight it up," he said of Burns.
"I don't think the doctor is as convinced (about Burns' fitness) as you or me and he (Burns) has still got a bit of convincing to do."
