Collingwood faced a tough start to the 2025 season, losing significantly to GWS Giants, raising concerns about key players.

Collingwood`s 2025 season kicked off with a disappointing performance, suffering a heavy defeat against the GWS Giants. The final score of 15.14 (104) to 6.16 (52) highlighted significant issues within the team, particularly in the midfield where stars like Nick Daicos and Scott Pendlebury struggled to make an impact. Their defensive efforts were notably lacking, raising concerns about the team`s overall strategy and execution.

The Magpies` inability to transition effectively and their poor kicking in front of goal were critical factors in the 52-point loss. As they prepare for their next match against Port Adelaide, the team is looking to regroup and address these shortcomings. Dan Houston is set to face his former team, while the availability of Jordan De Goey remains uncertain due to injury. The match took place at Engie Stadium, although attendance figures were not disclosed.

Collingwood will need to sharpen their skills and improve their teamwork to bounce back from this setback and regain their competitive edge in the league. For more updates on the AFL, visit AFL News and Fox Sports AFL.
