Collingwood last night paid tribute to their all-conquering 1929 side, by inducting them and six individuals into the club's Hall of Fame.

Des Tuddenham (pictured), Bill Proudfoot, Marcus Whelan, Des Fothergill, Wayne Richardson and Thorold Merrett were all inducted, it was has become a gala evening for both the Collingwood Football Club and their past champions.

In other news, classy forward Alan Didak has pulled up well from training and it now appears that further surgery on his troublesome knee may not be required.

The news is not so good for ruckman Josh Fraser, who has developed an infection in his knee which was recently operated on. While not severe, the infection could see him out for an extra two weeks, which would see a return date of around Round 7-8 likely.
