Jordan De Goey is set to come under scrutiny for a high bump that forced Eagle Elijah Hewett off the field.
The Magpies lead West Coast by 24 points at quarter time, but the headline so far is De Goey's high bump which is set to see him suspended for a number of weeks.
De Goey elected to bump the 19-year-old after he'd got rid of the football and caught the young Eagle in the head.
Hewett did not to return to the field for the remainder of the term.
Jordan De Goey could be in some hot water over this hit on Elijah Hewett.

If Michael Christian deems it high impact, De Goey could be staring at two games on the sidelines wth a careless conduct grading. A severe impact grading would see the 27-year-old miss at least three weeks.
Collingwood has two of its biggest games this season coming up with Melbourne and Adelaide in the next fortnight.
De Goey sits fourth in the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year award and has in the midst of his best season at AFL level for a team that has lost just one game in 2023.
If he is suspended, De Goey will be ineligible for this year's Brownlow Medal.
