Trivia:
- Collingwood have never beaten Williamstown on the hallowed turf of Victoria Park. All three of the Magpies' wins over the Seagulls have been on either the secondary home deck of Olympic Park Oval or the neutral surroundings of North Port Oval and Princes Park in finals (the bastardry behind the fixturing of the last one we shall not speak of in polite company without a 7-second delay)...

- Following on from that, Collingwood's average losing margin to Williamstown at Victoria Park is 44.2 points. On the flip side, owing to the vagaries of fixturing, the Magpies have not clashed with the Seagulls at Victoria Park since Round 16 of 2013.

Note:
- This match will act as something of a stand-alone feature for domestic supporter consumption, with the seniors traveling interstate to take on Gold Coast at Carrara. The VFL will finish at approximately 3:30pm AEST, leaving fans about an hour to get from Victoria Park to a screen, a couch and/or a bar to watch.

Over to you...

Good luck to the VFL team, provided we can get enough forward entries we definitely have the forward line to kick a winning score.

Online here at VP.

Collingwood have won the toss, kicking to the Yarra Falls end. Slightest of breezes favouring the Sherrin Stand end, though.

Lynch 1st ruck, Cox forward, Broomhead/Aish/Wills the starting centre square, Lane and Daicos the wings.

McClarty has gone to Cordy.

And away we go!

Bring home the bacon MB.

Keeffe brings a ball to the front for Hellier in a marking contest at CHF, Jack will give it off, McLarty has wandered up the field, he'll recieve, let fly from 50... GOAL!

Very even contest so far, as the score indicates. Good pressure in tight from both sides...
