Welcome back for the 4th episode for the 2026 season, and we turn our attention to the Collingwood Magpies. Still a powerhouse on their day, the Pies remain a genuine contender despite an ageing list.

We break down Collingwood’s 2025 season, their finals exit, and how much is left in a veteran-heavy side including the ageless Scott Pendlebury. From Nick Daicos’ continued Fantasy dominance to the surprise rise of Ned Long, we assess who boomed, who disappointed, and where value might lie heading into 2026.

We also dive into the Magpies’ ins and outs, including the departure of key forwards, debate potential breakouts like Ned Long, Patrick Lipinski and Isaac Quaynor, and weigh up ultimate Fantasy picks ahead of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season.
