Everyone at the Collingwood Football Club would like to use Saturday’s clash with Port Adelaide as an opportunity to thank the 75,507 members who signed up and supported the club through thick and thin in 2018.

But 2018 is far from over, so for now, we’re just saying cheers to the moments you’ve shared with us already this season.

• Cheers… to beating Carlton and Essendon twice,
• Cheers… to Brodie Grundy and his amazing feats,
• Cheers… to the arrival of Jaidyn Stephenson,
• Cheers… to Bucks’ beard,
• Cheers… to the Swoop Squad lighting up the forward line,
• Cheers… to the forever faithful Magpie Army!

FIND AND WIN!
In addition to member thank you round, round 22 also marks Travis Varcoe’s 200^th AFL game. To celebrate, on Saturday we’ll be hiding five unique ‘Varcodes’ around the MCG and Melbourne Park Precinct.

Simply find the code, snap a photo of it, put together the secret sentence and head to our membership hub between gates 3 and 4. The first person with five photos and the code will win:

• Bose Soundsport Free Wireless earbuds (valued at $299),
• Two Level 2 reserved seats for Saturday’s game,
• A 2017 team-signed playing guernsey

It’s not as hard as you think! We’ll be dropping clues on social media in the 24 hours leading up to the game, so be sure to follow the club’s official Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

At the ground:
- Arrive early: Security measures such as wanding and bag checks will have an impact on the time taken to admit patrons to enter the stadium. Please allow extra time and don't leave your arrival until the last minute.
- Be patient: Security inspections take time, so please understand it will take a little longer to move people into the stadium. 
- Limit the number of bags you bring: Each bag will be inspected, so the more you bring the longer it will take.
