Show Preview
Collingwood will be seeking back-to-back wins to begin 2022 when they host the Adelaide Crows at the MCG. Join The Roar for live scores from 1:45pm (AEDT).
Craig McRae’s coaching tenure got off to the perfect start in Round 1, with the Pies ’embracing the chaos’, according to captain Scott Pendlebury, and unleashing a wave of attacking football that proved too strong for St Kilda.
Nick Daicos is already looking destined for stardom after gathering 27 touches on debut, while former Bulldog Patrick Lipinski was best afield in his first game in the black and white.
The Crows fought back from a poor opening half against Fremantle with a dominant second, but just when it seemed like victory was certain, they’d concede the final three goals of the match to go down by a solitary point.
Nevertheless, top draft pick Josh Rachele was an excitement machine on debut, kicking five goals, while Ben Keays excelled in midfield and Matt Crouch slotted in seamlessly in his first match since 2020.
With Mason Cox ruled out due to soreness, the Pies have elected for former Cat Nathan Kreuger to make his club debut, while Will Hoskin-Elliott returns after missing Round 1 under the AFL’s COVID protocols. For the Crows, last year’s pick two Riley Thilthorpe has been dropped alongside exciting half-back Wayne Milera, as they ring the changes for the trip to Melbourne.
