Collingwood's big AFL win over the Western Bulldogs has helped solidify their spot among an emerging pack of seven leading clubs.
Travis Cloke helped kick Collingwood back to sixth place on the ladder with a 34-point win over the Western Bulldogs at Docklands on Sunday.
Collingwood first-year teenager Ben Kennedy is ready to fight hard for his spot in the AFL side but knows there are plenty of challengers coming.
Western Bulldogs forward Daniel Giansiracusa says his team is having to do plenty of research ahead of Sunday's clash with a new-look Collingwood.
Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley says suggestions a group of senior players are resisting cultural change at the club are totally false.
