Collingwood is urging key forward Travis Cloke to adopt a controlled physical approach to help him snap out of the current form slump.
Defender Nick Maxwell said Cloke is poised to use his height and strength to return to the goalkicking list against St Kilda tonight.
"I've seen him really start to work on a few different areas of his game which were challenging for him,'' Maxwell said.

"Obviously, goalkicking is something he has put a lot of work into over the last couple of years. Just seeing him get a bit more aggression back into his game and it has come from training, just seeing him be a bit more physical.

"He's a huge body and hard to play on. I've played on him for eight or 10 years at training and when he's really aggressive and physical, he's hard to beat. So that's something he has got back to over the last couple of weeks and it's going to turn for him on game day. Hopefully, it's tomorrow night, but if not it's going to happen in the next few weeks, no doubt.
"You feel for him to see him with the weight of the world on his shoulders But we just keep telling him we just want him to keep playing his role and it's going to turn for him.''

Maxwell said the high standards demanded right through the Magpie ranks was behind his blast for new defender Alex Fasolo against West Coast last round.
"I'll continue to be hard on him and other defenders and I expect them to be hard on me if I'm doing something that doesn't fit into our game plan. I also expect Scott Pendlebury to do that to our younger midfielders and I expect guys like Goldy (Tyson Goldsack) up forward to demand high standards of our forwards.''
On Fasolo's reaction, Maxwell said: "At first, he was like a little kid, he thought I was going to crack him over the head. Obviously, the first thing I did at half-time was go to him and have more of a detailed explanation of what was required.''

The Pies will alternate Lachy Keeffe, in for injured Nathan Brown, and Jack Frost on St Kilda gun forward Nick Riewoldt.
"St Kilda are dangerous, any team that has got (Lenny) Hayes, (Leigh) Montaga, (Jack) Steven going through the middle and Nick Riewoldt up forward are a dangerous team. So we have to make sure we bring our A-game,'' Maxwell said.
