2019 AFL Draft Preview: Collingwood Magpies
COLLINGWOOD heads into the 2019 AFL National Draft with a less than inspiring draft hand which means the 2018 Grand Finalists and 2019 Preliminary Finalists will need to get creative with their picks. Luckily for the Magpies, they have been two kicks away from a flag and a second Grand Final, so the strength in […]
2019/20 AFLW off-season review: Brisbane
WITHOUT a doubt the team hardest hit by the expansion clubs was Brisbane, losing half of its list over the off-season.

2019/20 AFLW off-season review: Collingwood
IT was a disappointing 2019 season for Collingwood, with a combination of rebuilding through youth and unlucky losses culminating in a Conference wooden spoon.

AFTER claiming a maiden AFL Women’s premiership in 2018 and looking impressive from the get-go in 2019, the Western Bulldogs fell away in the second half of the 2019 season to finish wooden spooners in Conference A.
