COLLINGWOOD ruckman Josh Fraser is an outside chance to face St Kilda on Friday night despite injuring his knee in a one-on-one clash with an opposition ruckman in the final term of Saturday night's representative game.
As reported in today's Age, Fraser, who was checked yesterday morning after playing for Victoria, could have a grade-one tear to his posterior cruciate ligament.
Early reports suggested Fraser had torn his posterior cruciate ligament and could miss as many as 10 weeks, but swelling around the area was minimal yesterday,
The Pies' football manager Geoff Walsh said that both Fraser and a Collingwood doctor with Victoria's medical team had indicated he is a chance to line up this week, although he is more likely to miss one week and return against Geelong in round nine.
"He'll have a scan tomorrow but the scan will only confirm what our doc thinks — it's a mild strain, or a low grade strain, so it's not too bad," Walsh said yesterday.
