It’s been yet another disappointing year for Collingwood and the Gold Coast. Both came into season 2016 with high hopes with many tipping the Magpies to push for a top 4 spot and the Suns to push for a spot in the finals. Early on it was obvious neither were achieving their goals as they

As the Collingwood Football Club meanders towards the end of yet another disappointing season it should be no shock that their form is still fluctuating.

On Friday night at the M.C.G. the 13th and 14th placed sides on the AFL ladder will face off and yet it’s genuinely a big game.
