Trivia:
- Collingwood has not played as the home team to Werribee in a home and away game since Round 9 of 2015, which also happened to be the last time Werribee set foot on Victoria Park.

Note:
- As fans would be aware, this match will serve as an off-Broadway prelude to the senior side's encounter with Essendon at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Those wanting to attend both games will have approximately an hour from when the final siren rings out at Victoria Park to when the opening siren sounds at the MCG.

- This match was originally fixtured to take place at Olympic Park Oval for a 5:30pm Sunday twilight start, but was discreetly moved early in the new year to a Sunday morning 11:30am start at Victoria Park. Fortunate, considering the original scheduling had the game starting while the seniors would have still been playing.

23P: 55. T. Jok

Of the extended interchange named here, only Hellier, Borthwick and Hetherington have not been granted a local permit release, so they're certain starters for the three vacancies on the starting field.

Jack Blair gets his head taken off right in front of goal and converts accordingly to answer the Werribee challenge!
