North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has backed star ruckman Todd Goldstein to quickly make a badly-needed return to his best AFL form.The All-Australian has been noticeably below par since hurting his knee in the round-10 loss to Sydney.Part-time Port Adelaide ruckman Jackson Trengove crucially had his measure in last Saturdays loss.Hes an All-Australian ruckman, isnt he, so hes held to a higher account than most, as he should be, Scott said.No-one is more disappointed with poor performances individually than Goldy.His best form is just around the corner.It is no coincidence that the Kangaroos have also slid during Goldsteins form dip, losing six of their last seven games.One of the features of that slump has been a bad run with injury.But Scott said Goldstein was now in full training.He added fellow stars Jarrad Waite and Daniel Wells had pulled up well, having returned to the AFL last weekend from injuries.After opening the season with a nine-game winning streak, there is now speculation that the Roos remarkably could miss the finals.Certainly Collingwood can smell blood ahead of Friday nights massive game against North at Etihad Stadium.Magpies coach Nathan Buckley said they must win to keep their slim top-eight hopes alive and they would approach the match as a final.I just see it as round 18 - its an important game, but they all are at this stage of the year, Scott responded.It will be a pressurised environment.If thats a finals-like atmosphere, then thats a good thing.Scott confirmed key forward Drew Petrie would play against Collingwood.Petrie is another prominent North player under scrutiny.Its about the (forward) unit itself and the unit hasnt functioned very well, Scott said.Drew is the most experienced part of that.He knows that a lot falls to him.When he wasnt contributing on the scoreboard in the first half of the year, I cant recall there being a great level of criticism.Scott said North knew all about pressure, having played in the last two finals series, and is confident they will rally.At times in this really tough industry, you come across some inclement weather, he said.But the weather always clears and we have to make sure that our response to that inclement weather is really solid and we stay the course.The worst thing we could do now is panic and set ourselves off course.

Ahead of Corey Parkers State of Origin swansong, Queensland coach Kevin Walters has thrown down the challenge for candidates to step up and show they can fill the void left by the veteran lock.The Brisbane veteran will play his 19th and final Origin for the Maroons on Wednesday week, drawing the curtain on a glittering representative career.Parker played two games from 2004-05 for Queensland but had to wait another six years to break back into the side.He hasnt looked back, becoming one of the first picked for the all-conquering Maroons.Walters said he had not started the daunting task of contemplating Parkers replacement but hoped NRL candidates would make the tough assignment easier for him.Theres lots of young guys who could try and fill that void, because it will be a void when Corey does leave, Walters told QRL TV.Hes got so much experience, is so professional and a leader.Next year one of the yyounger generation has to come through and put their hand up.ddddddddddddWalters hoped they could send out Parker a winner by sealing only Queenslands fifth Origin series whitewash.Hes been a great player for Origin over the years, Walters said.It was fitting that we won game two up at Suncorp Stadium for him.Now we want to make his final game pretty special too as he rides off to the sunset.Parker said he no choice but to savour his last Origin hurrah.They say you never know when it is going to be your last but in this case I do know - I just have to enjoy it, Parker told AAP.I sat on the sidelines for six years watching this team start their run.I never gave up hope of getting back into the team.When I got back I vowed to never let it go again.So yeah, I will miss this.
