The schedule outlining scheduled matches for the Collingwood Football Club’s Victorian Football League (VFL) team defines the team’s competitive season. This schedule specifies opponents, dates, times, and locations for each game, governing when and where the team participates in competition. For instance, a particular entry details Collingwood VFL playing against another team at a specific ground on a given Saturday afternoon.
The organized match program is crucial for strategic planning, player preparation, and fan engagement. It allows the coaching staff to develop training regimes tailored to upcoming opponents and match timings. Furthermore, knowing the dates and locations enables supporters to attend games, fostering a stronger connection between the team and its fanbase. Historically, the VFL program has been a vital development ground for future AFL players within the Collingwood system.
