Collingwood vs Port Adelaide LIVE: AFL round 15 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from the MCG

Neither of these sides seems likely to feature in even the wildcard finals round, and we’re getting a good idea why tonight.

Both Collingwood and Port Adelaide have top-liners as good as any in the competition, but their depth drops off alarmingly, with mid-season draftees, rookies and past-their-prime veterans battling away.

The Magpies looked in serious strife after conceding five straight goals and struggling to halt the Power’s momentum, but Nick Daicos and Jordan De Goey have been outstanding as arguably the best two players afield.

Port Adelaide hold a slender one-point lead, but Collingwood head to the rooms at half-time knowing they are back in this.
