The Magpies will take on a wildcard qualifier, meaning one of the ‘lucky losers’ from the first round of the pre-season competition.
The AFL announced the fixture for the second round of the NAB Cup today, after the Magpies defeated Richmond and Carlton in the three-way opening round format at Docklands on Saturday night.
Collingwood’s opponent will be known following the conclusion of the second phase of round one, which will take place this coming weekend.
