The Pies will head north for a top of the table clash with Brisbane at Hickey Park on Sunday afternoon.
Coming off Round 6:
Collingwood brought the Bulldogs’ four-game winning streak to an abrupt halt, accounting for the Dogs to the tune of 36 points last Sunday afternoon.
It was a tale of two halves with just one goal managed between the two sides in the opening half, before the Pies put their inaccuracy woes behind them to boot seven majors after the main break.

It was the usual suspects leading the way, with Brianna Davey and Brittany Bonnici notching 28 and 22 disposals respectively, while Chloe Molloy continued her run of consecutive matches booting a goal by adding another two to her overall season tally.
The win brings Collingwood to their sixth-straight victory of the season to sit one game clear of Fremantle, Adelaide and this week’s opposition, Brisbane.
An eye on the opposition:
Brisbane have their eye on top spot, sitting just one game shy of the Pies and with a healthy percentage behind them.
They come into this week’s match off the back of a comprehensive 38-point victory over the Giants, just a week after ending Fremantle’s 11-game winning streak in Round 5.
Brisbane’s youngsters have made a statement, with last week’s side featuring 11 players aged 22 or under.
Dakota Davidson leads the pack, in career-best form and just one goal behind Chloe Molloy on the overall goal-kicking table.
Pies to look out for:
With the job of lining up on Isabel Huntington last weekend, Lauren Butler didn’t shirk the task.
Not only did Butler hold last year’s NAB AFLW Rising Star goalless, she racked up eight disposals of her own and was relentless in her pressure, laying six tackles.
Tarni Brown was officially recognised in Round 6, with the young gun given the nod as a NAB AFLW Rising Star nominee.
Brown was involved all over the ground, recording 15 disposals and four marks as well as four score involvements and a goal of her own.
