Sam Collins.

With Alex Pearce being struck down with OP and going to be missing for some time, does that make Sam Collins the next one in line to take over a KP in the back line?
He is a mature bodied player , who has performed for the Hawthorn second side for a couple of years and done well.Seems he held down the CHB position well.
Would it put him before Silvagni?

It is definitely between Silvagni and Collins.  A Peace showed last season he has what it takes, so when he is healthy I think he will come in to the team.

I agree , but it will depend on how long Pearce is out and also if Collins can set himself into the side.
Silvagni still has a lot to prove I think before he is a chance.
