However if I'm #AdelaideFC I'd look at negotiating opening & closing #GatherRound against 'blue chip' Vic teams. Say open against #CollingwoodFC & close against #GeelongFC or #HawthornFC.

Bookend blockbusters.

Collingwood will be desperate to rediscover their identity when they welcome the high-flying Fremantle Dockers to the fast Adelaide Oval deck

Pies were at their most vulnerable against Brisbane in Round 4, suffering a heavy 54-point loss. Their clearance count (-18) was the second-worst differential recorded under coach Craig McRae

Fremantle is playing with genuine premiership swagger, most recently securing a heart-stopping 2-point victory over the Crows in Round 4

Key Players
Collingwood’s Dan Houston has been a consistent bright spot, accumulating 32 disposals (81% efficiency) and 12 rebound 50s last round as he attempted to launch counter-attacks from a besieged defence

Fremantle’s Caleb Serong is in Brownlow-medal form, recording 32 disposals, 13 contested possessions and 8 tackles in a tireless Round 4 performance

Fremantle won the most recent meeting by a single point in Round 19 of 2025, but the Magpies have an historically strong record at Adelaide Oval with a 67% win percentage

This match will be decided in the engine room; if Collingwood can regain contested-ball parity, they have the structure to frustrate the Dockers' efficient transition game

TIP: Fremantle by 18+

Collingwood will look to restart their season at Marvel Stadium when they host a GWS Giants side struggling to find consistency after back-to-back losses

Recent Form:
Collingwood (9th, 1W, 1L) enter this clash fresh from a bye. They suffered a 14-point loss to Adelaide in Round 1, where they lacked their trademark frantic energy despite a prolific individual effort from their midfield stars

GWS Giants (13th, 1W, 2L) fell short by just 4 points against St Kilda last week. While they dominated territory and inside 50s in the second half, their inaccuracy in front of goal proved costly

Key Players:
Collingwood’s Nick Daicos was exceptional in Round 1, finishing with 33 disposals, 2 goals, and 10 inside 50s

GWS defender Lachie Ash has been prolific to start 2026, recording a game-high 39 disposals and 9 score involvements against the Saints

Collingwood will look to restart their season at Marvel Stadium when they host a GWS Giants side struggling to find consistency after back-to-back losses Recent Form: Collingwood (9th, 1W, 1L) enter this clash fresh from a bye. They suffered a 14-point loss to Adelaide in Round 1, where they lacked their trademark frantic energy despite a prolific individual effort from their midfield stars GWS Giants (13th, 1W, 2L) fell short by just 4 points against St Kilda last week. While they dominated territory and inside 50s in the second half, their inaccuracy in front of goal proved costly Key Players: Collingwood’s Nick Daicos was exceptional in Round 1, finishing with 33 disposals, 2 goals, and 10 inside 50s GWS defender Lachie Ash has been prolific to start 2026, recording a game-high 39 disposals and 9 score involvements against the Saints

Head-to-Head:
The Giants have won the last two regular-season encounters by 52 and 32 points. However, the most consequential recent meeting was the 2023 Preliminary Final, which Collingwood won by a single point

Collingwood’s reliance on the Daicos brothers will be tested by a Giants midfield that is winning the possession count but failing to capitalise on the scoreboard

TIP: Collingwood by 12+

Why this new Pie's draft experience was unlike any other Angus Anderson was 17,000km away from Marvel Stadium when his AFL dream was realised

Nice piece on Angus 'Angry' Anderson and his #AFL & #SANFL journey. Hope he makes the best of his second crack in the elite league after a fantastic year with #SturtFC, even if it is with #CollingwoodFC

Good to see #SturtFC Angus "Angry" Anderson getting another crack at #AFL level.

Thought he'd slip through to the PSD or SSP but #CollingwoodFC had other ideas.
