COLLINGWOOD has hit form at the right time of the season according to coach Mick Malthouse.
The Magpies booked their place in the finals with an impressive 45-point win over Sydney at Telstra Dome on Saturday night.
The Pies have now won three games in a row and are an outside chance of claiming fourth spot and a double chance but Malthouse wasn't sure how deep into September his side could go.
"We have been spreading the load and that has been pretty evident in the last three weeks," Malthouse said.
"I don't know how far we are going to go and how we are going to go next week, but the more we play this group together, the better we are going to get."
Malthouse also said skipper Scott Burns was only a 50-50 chance of being fit for the Pies clash against the Dockers on Friday night.
"He has a bruised calf, (we have) a six-day break, touch and go I suppose," he said.
"It will be judged on Sunday morning and then we will judge it throughout the week."
