Collingwood forward Jamie Elliott will miss the rest of the AFL season after scans confirmed he damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Scott Pendlebury's record-breaking game.
The Magpies celebrated club legend Pendlebury becoming the all-time games record-holder with a 10-point victory over West Coast at the MCG on Saturday.
But Elliott's left knee injury, coupled with setbacks for Darcy Moore (hamstring) and Will Hayes (dislocated shoulder), took some shine off the celebration.
There is also a watch on star midfielder Nick Daicos, who was sent for scans on Sunday after having a foot stomped on.
Elliott, 33, was the Magpies' leading goal-kicker last year with 60 majors and scored three against West Coast, taking his tally to 17 in 11 games this season.
