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. But before we embark on another premiership campaign, we have to tick the boxes of pre-season practice matches. For the first of our two JLT Community Series outings, we travel across the Nullarbor…
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…

The teams, in case…
Game Day: Collingwood vs Fremantle (Round 23, 2018)
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. In fact, a victory today would, barring an absolute disaster, almost certainly put us into our first finals series in five years. Standing in our way…

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to this week’s edition of the Game Day thread, as we load up to take on the Lions at our not-home ground home ground, Etihad Stadium. Fun fact, this will be just the second time we have faced Brisbane at this venue, the other being that famous night in Round 8…
