Collingwood defender Ben Reid faces a nervous wait after injuring his right knee in Sunday's 20-point pre-season cup victory over West Coast at Patersons Stadium.

Reid limped off the field in the third quarter after jarring his right leg when a falling Josh Kennedy crashed into him.
The 2010 premiership defender was plagued by quad injuries early last AFL season and has just four weeks to prove his fitness for the club's season opener against North Melbourne on March 31.
West Coast were also struck by injuries, wingman Andrew Embley damaging his right hamstring and Matt Rosa finishing the game on the bench with an ice pack on his right hamstring.
Although the treatment for Rosa was precautionary, Embley's seemed more serious, with the 2006 Norm Smith medallist facing a race against time to be fit for the March 23 opener against Fremantle.
Collingwood's 3.10.9 (96) to 1.10.7 (76) triumph was their third straight win of the pre-season.
The Magpies will reach the final if they can beat Brisbane in Saturday night's clash at Etihad Stadium.
Collingwood were well served by Scott Pendlebury, Paul Seedsman, Alan Toovey, Heath Shaw and Dane Swan.
West Coast forward Mark LeCras booted four goals in just his second match back from a knee reconstruction, while skipper Darren Glass was strong in defence and Scott Selwood tallied 29 possessions and a super goal.
Collingwood entered the match missing more than half of their first-choice side, with the likes of Luke Ball, Dayne Beams, Alan Didak, Darren Jolly, Dale Thomas, Andrew Krakouer and Clinton Young among a host of players absent.
But the Pies' greater work rate and hardness at the ball proved the difference, with their pressure in the forward half a particular highlight.
The Eagles, who take on Port Adelaide in Alice Springs on Saturday, are out of the running to reach the cup final after winning just one of their three games.
Former West Coast forward Quinten Lynch was solid for Collingwood, spending time up forward and in the ruck.
