Toby Greene<\/a> says he doesn't know if Collingwood<\/a> will make it a priority to ruffle him on Friday night, but the club's superstar skipper has made it clear the thought of being targeted does not faze him.<\/p>\n

While some 100,000 screaming Collingwood diehards are certain to hound the small but spirited GWS<\/a> forward\ufeff in Friday's preliminary final at the MCG, the treatment Craig McCrae has planned for him won't be revealed until the Giants begin their quest for a fifth win in a row.<\/p>\n

"Not really," Greene said when asked if he expected the Magpies to harass him.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't care if they do, though," the All-Australian captain added with a smirk.<\/p>\n

"I don't expect it, but if it happens it's footy\ufeff."<\/p>\n

\"Toby<\/p>\n

\ufeffGreene is likely set for a mouthwatering duel with gun Collingwood defender Brayden Maynard, who's about to feature in his first game since accidentally knocking out Angus Brayshaw and escaping in a four-hour tribunal hearing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"It'll be a great battle," Greene said.<\/p>\n

"Whoever it is \u2014 him, [Isaac] Quaynor, [Jeremy] Howe … I dunno who it is.<\/p>\n

"But it'll be good fun and [I'm] looking forward to the battle.<\/p>\n

"They're all bloody good opponents so I'll give 'em my best showing."<\/p>\n

\ufeffQuizzed on whether the Giants would go after brilliant Magpies midfielder Nick Daicos, who's set for his first game since round 21 after overcoming a knee injury<\/a>, Greene was coy.<\/p>\n

\"Toby<\/p>\n

"He's a star and we've seen what he's done this year, but it'll be hard for him; it's a pretty significant injury and I can't imagine he would have done a whole heap of footy leading into the game\ufeff," Greene said.<\/p>\n

"But we know what he can do and the skills he brings.<\/p>\n

"If you get the chance to tackle him that'd be nice.<\/p>\n

"He's a good player and we'll respect him."<\/p>\n

McRae confirmed on Wednesday that Daicos would replace Taylor Adams, who was ruled out of the preliminary final with a knee injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Magpies-Giants preliminary final will meet the winner of the Blues' clash with the Lions in the grand final.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
