A heavy off-season of recruiting at Collingwood in the VFLW space has landed them near the top when it comes to pre-season premiership favouritism.

Four new recruits to the Magpies were part of the Rebel VFLW representative team that proved to be successful on a historical evening during Gather Round over the SANFLW.

State of Play host Gemma Bastiani caught up with Lily-Rose Williamson, Tahlia Fellows, Lauren Szigeti and new Magpies captain Dom Carbone immediately after the win.
