Collingwood will end its 2018 home and away season with a match against Fremantle on Saturday 25 August at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

The round 23 fixture in the past has been structured in a manner that will allow the clubs likely to finish in the top four an adequate break between their final home and away game and their first final, while taking into account any potential travel factors involved.

In 2018, all teams in the top eight at the end of the season will enjoy a week off before the commencement of the finals series.
