Promising young midfielder, Trent Bianco will play his first AFL Final this Saturday night as he comes into the side for the injured Taylor Adams. 

Bianco has had a really strong season, stringing five consecutive games together towards the latter end of the year. His best game coming against Adelaide where his performance on the wing saw him amass a career high 20 disposals. 

The unfortunate news is that Adams will be unavailable for any remaining games this season. Our industrious leader had a season ending groin injury during last week's Qualifying Finals against Geelong.  Wishing you a speedy recovery, Tay!

Collingwood face a Fremantle side fresh from a come from behind victory in their Elimination Final against the Western Bulldogs. 

Senior Coach Craig McRae noted that Fremantle are, "a very good defensive team and you don't get to this time of year by chance."

In what is a sold out match at the MCG, we are looking forward to seeing the Magpie Army out in full force.

It will be a blockbuster match, with the winner going on to play Sydney next weekend in a Preliminary Final.

Can't wait - Go Pies!

 

In: Trent Bianco
