The Collingwood Magpies (5-3-1) will be looking to remain in the top eight when they host the Adelaide Crows (3-5-1) at the MCG in AFL Round 10 action on Saturday afternoon.
It's safe to say that the Pies have turned their fortunes around and are back in a big way. Since losing their opening three games of the season, Collingwood have now gone undefeated in their last six games with a slight blemish of a draw against Essendon.
Last time out against the Eagles, it was business as usual, with Nick Daicos standing out with 36 disposals, six clearances, and one goal. On the other hand, Adelaide were also impressive against the Lions last weekend, but it wasn't enough to claim the four points in a thrilling end-to-end draw.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Collingwood vs Kuwarna in the AFL, plus plenty more.
