Friday’s clash will be the second time in 2024 that Collingwood has come face to face with Melbourne, following the Round 13 King’s Birthday clash.
The Magpies ran out 38-point winners as Jack Crisp took home the Neale Daniher Trophy for best on ground with his 27 disposals and six clearances, while Nathan Kreuger returned to AFL in style booting three goals – his first at the level in over 700 days.
Collingwood fans are encouraged to get to the MCG on Friday night to support their team, with tickets available now from Ticketek.
