Despite putting in their worst performance in close to two seasons Collingwood are unlikely to make wholesale changes to the line-up that played against North Melbourne, with their long injury list restricting their ability to introduce ready-made replacements for Friday night’s game against Hawthorn.

Senior coach Nathan Buckley did not spare the team after the 44-point loss to the Kangaroos, describing it as ‘‘embarrassing’’, but the club is expected to give most of the 22 the chance to atone for their below-par effort given their performances up until the bye have been solid without being spectacular.

Immediately after the game, Buckley said the team had a question to answer and threw down the gauntlet to the whole football department.

‘‘We might actually find out a little bit more about us in the next couple of weeks than we knew at this point,’’ Buckley said.
