The Magpies are back in business! Collingwood has snapped a three-game losing streak with a nail-biting win over Melbourne at the MCG, locking in a coveted Top 4 spot heading into finals. It was a heart-stopper right until the end, but the Pies dug deep to find a way; exactly the kind of performance the Magpie Army needed before September. Hosted on Acast.

It’s a massive clash this week as Collingwood travel to take on Melbourne in a game that could decide their top 4 fate. The equation is simple: the Pies win, and they’re right in the hunt for a double chance in September. Melbourne, on the other hand, are out of finals contention, but with nothing but pride to play for they’ll be looking to spoil the party and finish their season on a high. This i...

Jack Silvagni has reportedly passed a medical at Collingwood, fuelling strong rumours that the Carlton fan-favourite could be on his way to the arch-rival Pies.

With the Pies looking to bolster their forward and defensive flexibilit...

The Pies went down to the Suns by six points on Friday night — a tough, gritty loss where we didn’t kick a goal until the third quarter. But when the phone lines opened, it wasn’t all doom and gloom.

In this ep, we break down the reactions, hear the hot takes, and try to find some positives in a f...

Collingwood sits top of the ladder in 2025 – just like they did in 2023. But this isn’t the same team. In 2023, the Pies were the Cardiac Kids – thrilling fans with last-minute wins and after-the-siren heroics. In 2025, they’re demolishing teams by 5, 6, even 10 goals. What changed? In this video, we break down: The tactical evolution from slingshot footy to forward-half dominance The stats that p...

What. A. Win. Collingwood goes into hostile territory, missing Pendlebury, De Goey, Maynard and Checkers, off a five-day break… and still gets the job done! Jamie Elliott kicks 6, the backline holds firm, and it's a total team effort from a club that just doesn't go away. In this review, I break down the win, the standouts, and what it means for this group moving forward. 🖤 SUBSCRIBE for w...

That one stings. In Jack Crisp's record-breaking consecutive games match, the Pies fell to Geelong by just 3 points — with Crisp missing a tough shot after the siren that would've won it. Patrick Dangerfield turned it on late, Mihocek kicked 4, and De Goey was nowhere to be found. I break down what went wrong, who stood up, and where we go from here. Hosted on Acast.
