Collingwood Magpies (1-3) and Hawthorn Hawks (0-3) will close out the AFL Gather Round action at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
The Magpies will come up against premiership teammate Jack Ginnivan for the first time since his shock trade to the Hawks, with the energetic goal-getter likely to go head-to-head with hard-nosed Brayden Maynard on Sunday.
The defending champions clinched their first win of the season at the fourth attempt, as they slumped Brisbane Lions to a 20-point loss at The Gabba last week.
The Magpies will hope that marks a turning point in their season and will aim to build on that when they take on an out-of-sorts Hawthorn side, who have lost all three games this season after going down to Geelong Cats 106-70 last time out, and another defeat should be in store for them in this one.
