Collingwood will play 14 matches at the MCG in 2019, nine of which have been fixtured as home games, including the Queen’s Birthday clash against Melbourne.
Released on Thursday, the AFL fixture also has the Pies playing three games at Marvel Stadium as well as five interstate matches in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
Season 2019 will mark Collingwood’s return to Thursday football with three matches scheduled, including a Good Friday Eve clash with Brisbane at the Gabba.
Collingwood CEO Mark Anderson said the club was pleased with the outcome of the draw.
“The fixture is as we expected,” Anderson said.
“Finishing second, we knew that we would be playing more of the top-six teams twice. And this is how it has played out, with us meeting West Coast, Richmond and Melbourne twice next year.
“We’ll face the Lions in Brisbane on Easter Thursday in the first of our five interstate games.
"This match is a great opportunity for our fans to travel to Queensland to support the team and stay on for the Easter long weekend.
“We have some marquee matches to look forward to and the season kicks off in a big way, with our first four matches being Thursday, Friday and Saturday night games at the MCG prior to ANZAC Day.
"We’re delighted to be hosting the Queen’s Birthday match for the first time since 1999 and we’ll continue to work with Melbourne in our joint and committed support of Neale Daniher’s Fight MND campaign."
“It is a fixture which will support big Collingwood crowds and great television coverage, so I am confident that our members and fans will be pleased with the outcome as we all look forward to season 2019.”
