It's so close you can feel it – Collingwood's 10th AFLW season is set to kick off on 14 August against Carlton at IKON Park.
A nod to the famous 2017 inaugural AFLW clash between the two historic Clubs which saw almost 25,000 fans pack into IKON Park to witness history. Carlton and Collingwood will look to do the same when they launch the 10th AFLW season in the Thursday night blockbuster in two weeks time.
Released last month, the Pies' 2025 fixture features six home games at the Club's spiritual home of Victoria Park, as well as four away games and two interstate matches – providing fans in Western Australia and Queensland an opportunity to get behind Collingwood's AFLW side this season.
Led by newly-appointed Captain Ruby Schleicher, this year's Pies will feature six new recruits, headlined by the Club's second ever number one draft pick in Ash Centra.
Winger Airlie Runnalls joins the Pies after playing 46 games for Fremantle, whilst the Magpie Army will get their first look Collingwood father-daughter recruit Violet Patterson, with the daughter of Stephen set to light up the wing for the Pies this season.
After finishing as runner-up in the 2024 Club Best and Fairest in her maiden AFLW season, 20-year-old defender Lucy Cronin will look to back up an impressive first season in the black and white.
So come on, get to Victoria Park and Feel the Footy!
