It’s all on the line for Collingwood this Sunday at the MCG, with a youthful Richmond outfit ready to ruin their chances of an improbable premiership defence.
The Magpies (8-2-8, 98.4%) will need to win at least four of their last five games of the season to play in September, with today’s match nothing short of a must-win match.
On the other side of the coin, the Tigers (2-16, 63.3%) occupy the bottom of the ladder, and without another win in 2024, are in serious danger of claiming the wooden spoon.
