Game Day: Collingwood vs Fremantle (JLT Series Game 1)
Good afternoon, fellow Magpies! Well, here we go again. After another long hot summer, we are finally within sight of football season.

Game Day: Collingwood vs West Coast (Grand Final, 2018)
As I type, the sun is soon to rise on the last Saturday of this September. And as unlikely as it seems, the Collingwood Football Club will be one of the two teams playing in the last game of football of the season to be held today. I can’t believe it. But it’s happening. And…

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this week’s Game Day thread, as we travel across the Nullarbor to the fancy new digs of Optus Stadium to take on the Fremantle Dockers. With a win, we will lock in a Top 4 spot, possibly even as high as 2nd. A loss, on the other hand,…
Game Day: Collingwood vs Port Adelaide (Round 22, 2018)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Well, this is it, the penultimate round of the 2018 home and away season. But unlike previous years, though, our season isn’t technically over.
