Harry McKay plays Scratch Match for Carlton Blues, but it’s not clear if he will play against Collringwood Magpies
The defender of Collringwood Premiership Billy Frampton seems destined to replace the injured defender Reef Mcinnes for the successful match on Thursday-Notte at the MCG against Carlton without victories, while Key Blue Harry McKay remains a waiting proposal to play.
When the Magpies trained on Sunday morning, Frampton was part of the main defensive group together with the skipper Darcy Moore and the highest vial Jeremy Howe, while McKay played in an internal scratch match with the Blues VFL team on Saturday morning.

The Coleman medal has lost the last two games for personal reasons and a decision should not be made on its availability until Wednesday selection.
Elijah Hollands also played in the scratch match, but he is not yet able to play after taking time from the club on the eve of the season for personal reasons.
Carlton is desperate for a victory after losing the first three games. They gave up a 41 -point deficit in a shock loss in Richmond in the first round before the competitive losses in Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs. Ten of their 11 goals against the Bulldogs came from Talls, Brodie Kemp (five goals), Charlie Curnow (three goals) and Lewis Young (two goals) while their little attackers continued their struggles to hit the scoreboard.

Frampton has yet to play for the Gazze this season. He is competing with Charlie Dean for the place to replace Mcinnes, who will miss the season after having a knee reconstruction. And Allan is also in line for the selection after being the best on the ground in the VFL a week ago.
Unlike the blues, the magpies have all their key players available for the round match. Only Mcinnes, Ash Johnson, Harvey Harrison and Tom Mitchell did not train. Dan Houston left the track in advance, but there were no concerns about the availability of the boom recruit.
Collingwood won five of the last six against Carlton, but four of those wins were based on a goal or not.
